Stockholm

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | Sweden's capital, confident and self-assured, glitters with souvenirs from the day when it ruled as a superpower.

I am just obsessed with these TRADITIONAL style vlogs. Please just keep making many more.

[@paolosantiago3163]

Actually I loved it more in comparison with the today's vlog standards. ❤

[@explorerelka]

Love the ' old style" TV travelogues.With an Anchor who has done his homework and knows how to present facts compellingly. Such a respite from those dizzying handheld gimbal mounted cameras that just zoom past everything- both literally and figuratively. A place needs to be savoured, taken in with all senses to get to the core. This takes time and a static camera :)

[@ryanbishop4981]

He’s the o.g. He’s not “old style” lol

I love how these European cities have large squares and gardens for people to just hang out and socialize. Just meeting new people all the time would be fun.

[@mountaindew7190]

Steves always seems to visit these Northern European cities on their rare sunny days.

[@astronemir]

I mean Stockholm has several months of sun per year concentrated in the summer. The summer is a good bet for sun. It's not like it's Belgium where you would beg to see the sky.. :P

[@chalphon4907]

Actually if you come here in the summer it will be long sunny days for most of the time

[@boreinouchiha8323]

Last summer it was around 30 degrees celsius in Stockholm several weeks

7 out of 10 days are sunny.

[@kylewit924]

I think that's on purpose

[@phoenixrising2268]

Stockholm is absolutely beautiful. I think it is the most underrated city in Europe. The streets are so clean you could (almost) eat off them. The people are friendly and speak better English than most Americans. I've been there twice and look forward to going back one day.

[@kennethhall7141]

Stockholm is very beautiful and friendly city. We stayed at Scandic hotel directly across the street from central Station. This allowed easy access to all the museums. Walking the city was very fun and great access for walkers, bikers, and often electric autos.

I lived in Uppsala, the neighbouring city of Stockholm for 2 months. Man, the people of Sweden are the best friendly people I met.

[@lilpenny1982]

I agree 100%

[@Thomassina1]

Rick Steves' travel shows are excellent, almost ageless; professionally written, produced and filmed, no cutsie inane small talk or look-at-me moments. Some YT vloggers are good however the lack of training, writing skills and professionalism weighs on the nerves, are winging it and it shows.

Did you visited ? It already been 7 years

[@ruthiruthhausen5912]

Was there this summer! Wonderful and free!

[@joyl7842]

What I notice most is the similarity between Stockholm and Amsterdam buildings, and the difference being that Stockholm's houses have colourful plaster as a top layer.

[@m00rtin4]

After you visit Stockholm, you should make a trip to Gotland. Its a very unique island in the middle of the baltic sea where u find a great medieval festival in the beginning of August, every year! it has a big city wall and wonderful unique landscape. It is also possibly the orgin lands of the Goths.

[@m00rtin4]

Stockholm is wonderful - I am here now at places he describes. Clean city, great food. Prices seem “city” but not New York $$$. The men are gorgeous - young and old! Lots of “green conscientiousness which is great. Bikes and bike lanes....ferries....buses...Great food.....

[@princehamdan3966]

Hello how are you

[@ToastedCigar]

Stockholm is great. Awesome restaurants, bars, shopping, nice and stylish people. The only downside is that Stockholm is quite expensive, but I'm used to it because I live in Finland and some things are even more expensive here.

[@ToastedCigar]

***** Definetly, if you are prepared for the prices.

I've been to Sweden. My friend lives on the southern shores in a small town looking out at Denmark. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. But gosh, looking at Stockholm in this video, I must visit again!

[@denilsonmarcos8863]

My first time ever in Sweden was so espetacular! I had a plenty of good expriences. probably, I will go back as soon as possible. Although I live in Rio de Janeiro, which is considered one of the most beautiful city in the globe, I would live in Sweden forever! Congratulations for the so organized video!

[@gaboltl]

Rio de Janeiro is a great city, I used to live in Brazil so I have a very special feeling towards your country, I got to spend a weekeng in RJ and I really liked however it wasn't as impressive as I was expecting it to be, I like SP better and as for Stockholm I went there in 2013 and it's beautiful, I would live there forever too.

[@denilsonmarcos8863]

James Johansson You're right! It is hard to accept but I have to agree with you!

[@CarlH08]

Denilson Marcos Rio the most beautiful city in the globe? hahahaha you must be joking! Tokyo, Singapore and Paris are the most beautiful cities in the world!

[@denilsonmarcos8863]

ItsMeKarl Scorpio I did not say Rio is the most beautiful. I said Rio is one of the most beautiful. It means that there are a lot of beaultiful cities in the world. I must agree that the level of crime and poverty here is a big concern. See you man!!

I enjoy these videos so much I get a little bummed when they are over. Fortunately, I can just go on to the next one. Steve is quite poetic in his descriptions. I wish I had known about him in the 80's.

[@carmenvillamajor6907]

What a nice video of my new hometown! It´s not as big as my native hometown of Buenos Aires, but it´s way cleaner and more stylish. It´s by far my favorite european city, and not only because my husband is from there, but also because of the relaxed but orderly atmosphere, the clean air and water (You can actually take a swim in the middle of the city without geting sick if you want) and the general friendliness of the citizens! Viva Estocolmo carajoooo!

[@Fistfury42]

+Carmen Villamajor I'm glad you like it! I'm originally from Stockholm, but currently living in Gothenburg. Have you ever visited Gothenburg/Göteborg? I would really reacommend it. If you think the people in Stockholm is friendly, then you would be blown away by the hospitality and generosity of the citizens of GBG (common as short for Gothenburg, just as STHLM is commonly used for Stockholm).Although i hate to say it, but Gothenburg especially has become alot more unsafe to live in. I live in Biskopsgården ('The Bishops Yard' in English), an area made famous, or notorious is more like it, due to all the murders and people going postal with AK47s. Who would have thought Sweden would be the place to get an AK47 for a few quid less then £1000 (don't ask me how i know the price-range lol). Unthinkable just 20 years ago, sadly. All thanks to the cheerished multi-culturalism we all embrace, or face charges of racism and hatred towards people of color (in Sweden Islam is a skin-color and therefore it's racist). I bet if they just changed the name of the area to 'The Imam Yard' instead things would work sort itself out eventually. Jokes aside, you should really pay a visit to Gothenburg if not for the beauty of the city, then just for the hospitality of the inhabitants alone., Cheers!
