I am really glad (and impressed) with your sauna-experience. You not only did the usual "this is steamy, hot and awkward", but you actually took your time to find out how special it is with a cool bath after a hot sauna. And it gets better with every dip... The feeling you have in your whole body after having hot sauna and cool baths is very special. And can't be achieved in any other way. I think .
Love this!! The heartbeat in Odenplan is actually the heartbeat of his unborn child who died, the artist have one more of the heartbeat in the town I live in!
Awww that’s heartbreaking 💔 I didn’t realise that his child was unborn. What a lovely way to commemorate his lost child 🥹. Thanks so much for watching 🙌🏼❤️
Thank you so much Anders 😁🙌. We are officially HOOKED on sauna life, we've even joined the London sauna club haha! Hope you're having a cracking new year!🥳
@@LaurenCotter Hahhaha... That´s great!! 🙂Probably some viking-blood in ya! 😉Speaking about that, maybe one should to the ancestry thing...? To really find out. All the best to you and wishes of a really Happy New 2023!
You’re so lucky to live in a such a beautiful place! Loved Lake Sickla, it was so peaceful 🥰 🏊🏽♀️ fingers crossed I get to experience it during winter one day 🤞🏼 thanks for watching. 😁
Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed video about stockholm! We ate at Moms Kitchen and it was absolutely the best meal in Sweden! Meatballs and Wallenbergare 10 out of 10!
We went to Mom’s Kitchen for meatballs today after watching your video before we came to Stockholm. Thanks for the recommendation. Our lunch was really nice
Most of the statues and pieces of masonry/stucco at the Kungsträdgården Metro Station are salvaged from "The Klara tear-down" i.e. when the old quarters of central Stockholm was demolished to make room for Sergels Torg, the metro, car parks and fall-out shelters (it was the hight of the Cold War). Being part of the Blue Line Metro it has a lot of nice artworks, though I think the Red Line deserves some credit for its more "understated" look, especially Östermalmstorg with concrete 'drawings' by Siri Derkert, and Mariatorget with ceramic tiles by Karin Björquist (famous for making the Nobel Dinner porcelain)
That's so cool, I didn't know that information. Also agree the red line is beautiful! Definitely the nicest underground subway I've ever been on. So much cool art work to see & admire!! 🙌💖
@@LaurenCotter Personally, I kind of hate the cold in my othervise belowed town, but you are welcome! :) I find the light decorations and general atmosphere during jul nice though. The food too. However, when I was young and visited 'foreign' cities, say Budapest, Prague, Vienna, Tunis, Istanbul, etc., I usually opted for a week or so, if possible. Even when it was work involved, not just for pleasure. I needed to be a little "bored" from time to time, so I could relax and take long walks or strolls in non touristy areas, parks and districts, before trying out some local restaurant or café that I'd never heard about. I loved that, or we did. (Long before mobile phones ;)
Thanks for video, but you have two mistakes: 1. On 3:18 is not Odenplan green line metro station, it's Odenplan commuter train station. Green line metro station is slightly upstairs of commuter train station. :) 2. T-Centralen station of blue line on 6:28 was built in 1975, not in 1957. But in 1957 was built T-Centralen stations on green and red lines and they are too upstairs of blue line station. PS. Sorry for my bad English. :)
What have you missed the strongest reason for going to Stockholm? Wasa museum, the largest warship that existed in the entire world in 1628, and it is not a copy but the real ship in all its glory. The cannons have been test-fired on a modern cannon firing range and it turned out that his cannons could cut right through and come out the other side on warships from that time. Then there is a round-trip boat trip that is worth traveling with and you see things that are not found in other capitals, it is called "under 7 bridges", but it should be in the middle of summer.
Wow I never even knew about this! That would’ve been cool to see in person. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll be sure to check it out on my next visit to Stockholm 🇸🇪
Planning a strip to Stockholm and this is SO useful! Can I ask Lauren - was it difficult to get from Stockholm to Sickla Sauna out in Nacka? How did you get there?
Thanks Ella!! Yeah it was super easy for us to get there, it was a 30 min walk straight through a forest. We were staying in Sodermalm. If you book an evening slot you’ll need to use your phone for a torch because there’s no lights for half the trail. I hope you’ve a fab time in Stockholm 😁🙌🏼🇸🇪
I live nearby, and if you don't want to walk you can take a bus 401 from Slussen which is centrally located close to the Old Town. Bus stop is Nackanäs. :-)
Nice visit! Were you able to swing by the sculpture park of Millesgården? :) It's a little hop North of Stockholm on an island called Lidingö, almost like a well-kept secret.
Omggg what an amazing video! You included so many beautiful places of my home city! LOVED the rather "in depth" review. Subscribed, Come back one day guys :))
Hi Guys! Sorry only replying now been a SUPER busy January haha. Ahh fantastic, Stockholm's a really cool city. If you like a little alcoholic bevvy, I would deffo say to visit Peppars for the atmosphere. Experiencing Halloween & Christmas consecutively is a blast haha! Have fun 🙌😁
i have never heard about that place there is ALOT better place and cheaper... nexttime you have 48 hours in sweden sthlm.. hook me up and i will make your stay 25 years :)
1. Yeah, I definitely want to avoid Sweden because who needs beautiful landscapes, friendly people, and delicious meatballs anyway? 🙄 #NotMissingOut 2. Why would anyone want to visit Sweden when they can just stay home and stare at a blank wall instead? Sounds way more exciting... 🤦♂️ #Sarcasm 3. Avoiding Sweden at all costs because who needs stunning architecture, vibrant cities, and rich history when you could just sit on your couch and watch paint dry? 🤷♀️ #BigMistake 4. Sweden is totally overrated. I mean, who wants to enjoy clean air, efficient public transport, and picturesque coastal villages? Not me! 🙅♂️ #SarcasticMuch 5. Yeah, I'll pass on Sweden. I prefer to never experience stunning Northern Lights, charming Christmas markets, or enchanting fairytale forests. Sounds like a real snooze fest... 😴 #RegretsNotGoing
" fika " is not a real thing well it used to be but todays youth have miss used the word and think its a Swedish fenomenon infact coffe or tea with something to eat is very common all over the world, " fika" is just a made up name deriving from the Turkish word kafi that means coffe , ka fi , fi ka , " fika "
True, I 'fika' all the time in London but just call it 'coffee with friends' 😂. Cool fact though, I never knew it came from the word Kafi. Thanks for watching 🙌
