First time in Stockholm Sweden! A BEAUTIFUL WINTER WONDERLAND.

We visited Sweden for the first time in the month of December and we were NOT ready for how beautiful it was...

Hi! We're Jen and George and we love filming our adventures around the world and sharing them with you :) The pandemic put a stop to our big travel plans as well as our busy jobs as full time musicians (and G's also a videographer!) but we're ready to get back and explore what life has to give.
We will be trying different daily routines, life-style changes, challenges, humbling and adventurous experiences, creative projects and of course TRAVEL and will be giving our honest experiences and opinions along the way. We want to share our lives with you, and hope that maybe something resonates to benefit your lives! :)

The Nobel Prize ceremony is held in the Concert Hall at the Heymarket, the great banquet is held in the City Hall. The house in the Old Town shown here is the Nobel Prize museum and the "office" of the Swedish Academy.

[@zilfversurfer2157]

Thats not really cold.. When it get like below -15 then it´s cold.

[@swedeman5785]

I m on their side,I hate when it s below -5...:-)

[@_Wolfsbane_]

To be fair though, the water makes it feel likes it much colder.

[@JGJustsayyes]

I don't disagree - we went to Iceland in December in 2017 and it was minus 19 at one point. That was PAINFUL. None the less! We were still cold (did we mention? 😛 )

[@herrbonk3635]

@@JGJustsayyes As as Swede, I'm freezing cold anywhere below zero degrees. (Would never go to Island, or even nearby Norrland, during winter.)

[@zilfversurfer2157]

@@JGJustsayyes Yes you did 😄. The cold is not the problem with sweden but i cant tell you how many times i wished i had a one way ticket to cuba or mexico when i had to dig the snow from my car every morning to go to work. The snow is the worst thing about sweden.

[@swedishmetalbear]

Sorry Guys. That is actually just the nobel museum.. Where you can go and learn about each Nobel prize that has been handed out. The actual feast takes place in the Great Blue Hall at the city hall.

[@_Wolfsbane_]

The prize ceremony takes place at Konserthuset at Hötorget (Haymarket) - not in the Old Town.

[@JGJustsayyes]

Oh man! GOOGLE LIED TO US! I will have to make sure to do some deeper diving! I would have liked to go in there to check it out! Thanks for setting us straight!

[@JGJustsayyes]

@@_Wolfsbane_ So sorry to get it wrong!

[@andersholmstrom3571]

You were in Stockholm and you didn’t visit the Vasa museum?! That should definitely be illegal.

[@JGJustsayyes]

Well, we'll just have to come back then! :)

[@Unknown---]

Great video, glad you like Sweden! Last week we had -36 degrees Celsius up in Umeå, Sweden! 🥶

[@gruu]

3:52 Statue of Carl Michael Bellman! Probably Swedens (maybe the worlds?) most unique and funniest composer/musician ever. There's even a secret society called "Par Bricole" & lots of institutions still going to this day in his honor. Lots of artists and musicians here still cover his songs, childrens sing his songs at graduations etc. Love the guy! Edit: Great video btw & glad you had fun! Also really good editing

[@JGJustsayyes]

Oooh I'm going to be looking this up today! Thanks for the awesome info! :)

[@sandercohen5543]

Look at it this way; at least there's snow. It's another thing when it's biting cold, but no snow. It changes the whole dynamic. You don't see people out and about as much when there's no snow.

[@Grodstark]

-10c is Viking summer :) One of the few positives about this extreme cold (often -15-20c in Stockholm and around -40c in the north) it makes you appreciate the summer WAY more. If you can live through the darkness and the cold, the summer is just such a huge reward.

[@234i9]

Its not often -20C in stockholm. This year was an anomaly.

[@PastramiStaven]

@@234i9 -20 no wind, wow...

[@emilandersson5132]

It's like saying the good thing about suffering is you are thankful when it ends lol😂

[@kristofferhellstrom]

We've had an unsually cold winter this year. Down here in the south it's not that unusual that we just have minus degree weather a couple of days during the winter.

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Last time I checked Britain isn’t a tropical country. Thought you had actual winters over there?! Minus 7 is nothing. Won’t be cold if you dress appropriately… here in Oslo Norway we had like minus 28 not that long ago🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Ripcraze]

it got colder, -20 yesterday and im pretty south

[@hallvard74]

Minus 7 degrees is nothing. Try minus 37, then we are talking. ( Can occasionally happen further north in Sweden). The best time to visit Stockholm is for sure in the summer though. It can be very lovely then.

[@perkristerkallstrom8312]

Winter is there in Sweden. But they got so little snow. Take a trip to my town Umeå and you will have alot of snow. About 2 weeks ago we had -32 Celsius.

[@ObsidianSoul1]

yep and I was out working/driving during that week

[@JGJustsayyes]

@@ObsidianSoul1 Wow you are a hero!

[@ObsidianSoul1]

@@JGJustsayyes Thanks I work within home care so its extra important during those times

[@John-Is-My-Name]

The secret to handling the cold in Sweden is: We get just as cold as anyone else. We are just better prepared, you need warmer jackets, thermal long underwear under your pants, a warm hat and warm gloves. -7C is pretty decent actually. The last weeks we have had -20-25 here in the middle of sweden.

[@kristofferhellstrom]

I would say we actually are warmer weather as a northern country than many other places because of the gulf stream.

[@JGJustsayyes]

You're absolutely right, we were just terribly prepared! I think next time we'll bring much better clothing!

[@vicolin6126]

-7 is nothing special, well not for us natives anyway :)

[@therucha]

Um well i live in the north ... that's not winter

[@swedeman5785]

At 18:44-,just over her head (when she sais they are going to paradox Museum)is OPERA Cafe,1 of the most popular Night Clubs & at 19.10-19,17 just to the right off the bridge is GRAND HOTEL,the most expensive in Stockholm ? I used to work as a cabdriver...-)

[@JGJustsayyes]

Oooh! I'll have to pick your brains for all the factual facts and cool places to visit next time we go! :)

[@annikaerf]

You gotta wear wooly longjohns! Wool and silk, dawn, fur and bamboo fabrics on Then you would'nt freeze! ☝🏼🥸

[@JGJustsayyes]

Great suggestions! Will try that next time!

[@Allexstrasza]

You came during winter? That's brave of you. Not even us Swedes want to be here during winter

[@robbiegreen7067]

-15 today

[@V141NG]

Thats not really cold.. when it gets -25 celsius... then it starting to hurt a bit... but ok it was stockholm... don't get as cold downthere... but its very moist so -5 even feel colder then -15 north swe...cool reaction btw 😊

[@MathiasE80]

I thought they were talking about the past few days when it's been close to -20 every day and high humidity until they said -7 and saw the video was 4 weeks old :D

[@nybergnicholas]

i quess UK don´t get a real winter just a slightly colder autumn.

[@JGJustsayyes]

In comparison to Sweden, you're right! I think our lowest (aside from this year, which was about -7) we have -3!

[@Xerdoz]

The Järfälla region is a great place to meet local Swedes.

[@jerkerpettersson1364]

Not the Nobel feast that is in the City hall

[@JGJustsayyes]

Woops.... thank you for the correction!

[@thepiratecats801]

That paradox museum looks amazing. And I'm always up for a cat cafe. :)

[@JGJustsayyes]

Honestly the cat cafe was the nicest we've ever been to. EVER.

[@gislemark79]

-7 is NOT cold!

[@JGJustsayyes]

I'm seeing more and more in the comments that we are just WEAKLINGS to the cold 🤣

[@nomusician4737]

Just to make sure I understand you correctly. It was warm?

[@ronniegraham1]

How much daylight was there? A December visit seems brave, although I did once do Ottawa in February.

[@JGJustsayyes]

It got dark around 3:30pm if memory serves? We went mid December! I recommend everyone going this time of year, it was stunning!

[@nomusician4737]

I got curious and have always though of Canada being pretty far north. Ottawa is about as far south as Monaco! That's about a three hour flight straight to the south from Stockholm.

[@ronniegraham1]

​@@nomusician4737Indeed, but continental weather patterns aside, it's usually cold enough that the local river freezes over, and the local canals become skateways for a few months.

Stockholms oldest restaurang who lie on the same place that it open on, is "Den Gyldene Freden", open 1722. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_gyldene_freden

-20C isn't cold. -36C is a it chilly

[@freddie3d]

You guys where in Stockholm about 3 weeks to early then. Last week we had -17°C or maybe even colder at some point. 😂 I was out walking the dog for over two hours in -15 this past Friday, beard full of ice after.

[@JGJustsayyes]

WOW! I've always wanted to be somewhere where my hair freezes! That's so cool. I mean... cold :)

[@carro-xb9oz]

stockholm its always stockholm or gothenburg in videos why dont u come up to the north where we have winter and cold as it is in sweden:) i mean -10 to 13 minus! we have minus 24 to 35 up here and a ton o more snow!! sadly the north is almost not existing in youtube videos

[@JGJustsayyes]

Oh wow! We would LOVE to visit northern Sweden! We loved our time here (just needed to bring better clothes to stand the temperature!) if you follow us on Instagram (JGJustsayyes) then you could DM us and give us some tips on where we should visit up north? I'll put together a little plan for us to make some video! 😃

[@Varangrir]

Been up in the north part of sweden, hade -41 degrees. Each breath take in with the nose made your nosehair freezes.

[@JGJustsayyes]

WOAH. That's NEXT LEVEL.

[@fridensfrojd3108]

Haha poor people, there should be an educative security video on the plane to Sweden on how to dress not to freeze your buts off. Sorry for the weather but cool video!

[@JGJustsayyes]

Oh we're just weaklings! We'll come back and better prepare ourselves!

[@pspjerry]

nice CP jacket

[@kristofferhellstrom]

We've actually had colder weather than usual this year.

Really? What temperatures have you had? :)

Warm! Minus 20 now and then here i Sweden ... down to minus 40 some days ago

[@nicolekubecka]

really nice vlog, loved all of the beautiful shots of my hometown

[@shamcra]

This gave me a rather "what-ever" feeling. Some of your research are quite lazy. It's very easy to obtain basic knowledge of the city you visit if you put some effort into it. You seem like a nice couple though, Just try harder. :)

[@JGJustsayyes]

Thank you for your feedback! I admit, I'm RUBBISH with facts. I'll read something and then 10 seconds later I'll forget it (blame the ADHD!) so it's mainly enthusiasm 😂 we take on all feedback so promise to get better :) Thanks for watching though!

[@nikke8058]

You should visit Gothenburg in the summer😊.

[@PastramiStaven]

It's not cold.

[@JGJustsayyes]

HAHA I'm learning that more and more from the comments... :)

[@PMMagro]

Glad you enjoyed my hometown :) There is a lot of nice nature in Sweden, mainly not in Stockholm though.

The next time you are in Stockholm. Head to restaurant AG and tell the staff that you are Johan, the CEO. They would probably believe you and you could dine for free.

[@JGJustsayyes]

Ooooh! Does George look like the CEO?? He also looks like Canelo Alvarez (a Mexican professional Boxer) a taxi driver in Vegas kept looking at George during the journey and when we stopped, showed us and actually took a picture with him to show his friends!

[@Acceoss]

@@JGJustsayyes That's funny. We all seem to have some doubles around the world. George is almost identical to the CEO. Google Johan Jureskog

[@PeterSweden-qw8dy]

I grew up and lived in Stockholm for 30years. 10years ago i moved up the north. Best move i’ve made - so beautiful up here. Just insane! Should really do a trip to the real north.

[@kristofferhellstrom]

And finally you experience real winters :D I live dooooooown south and this is the best winter we've had since I can remember. Har kunnat ha mitt fönster öppet i sovrummet året om typ.
