Smultronställen i Stockholm.

Vi är 27 elever i årskurs 5 på Storkyrkoskolan i Gamla stan.

På bilden på framsidan är vi i Junotäppan. Det är en liten lekpark i anslutning till vår skolgård. Men vi har många andra platser som vi gillar i Stockholm.

I den här boken ska vi berätta om några av dem. Vi har plockat ut de godaste russinen ur kakan och beskrivit de platser i Stockholm som vi tycker allra bäst om.

Vi tänkte att den här boken skulle kunna vara något som ett barn som besöker Stockholm och som kommer från ett annat land skulle kunna tycka vara roligt att läsa. Därför valde vi att skriva vår bok på engelska.

Här finns någonting för alla, både trevliga museum, affärscentrum, parker och sevärdheter. Hoppas att ni ska bli sugna på att besöka dem!

The City library

If you like to read books, you should go to the City Library in Stockholm.

The City Library is located near Odenplan.

In the City Library you can find books for all ages and all genres.

There are two sections. First there is one for children and youths and then they have one more section for all people but mostly for adults.

You can find fantasy books there, poetry, scary books and a lot more.

Sometimes in the evening you can listen to authors reading from their books.

I recommend the City Library for all people!

The Royal Dramatic Theatre, known as Dramaten.

Dramaten is 100% owned by the Swedish state.

On the big stage tickets cost between 100-390 crowns. In outer scenes it costs 290 SEK. Stefan Larsson is a director at Dramaten. He began as an actor but since 2002 he is the director.

On the outside there are golden decorations and it looks very luxourus.

Drottningholm

Drottningholm´s castle is located at Lovön in Mälaren and belongs to the Ekerö municipality. Ekerö is located in the west of Stockholm.

Drottningholm’s castle has many beautiful parks and Sweden’s oldest sculpture park.

About where the parking space is today the fruit garden used to be. The fruit garden gave them fruit and vegetables. Today there are only a pear tree and broadleaf plants left.

Drottningholms’ castle has around 700000 visitors a year.

When you are at Drottningholm’s castle you can go to the theater and look at the sculpture park. You can also visit the beautiful parks .

Eriksdalsbadet

I would really recommend a visit to Eriksdalsbadet if you like to go swimming. There are 3 outdoor pools and 5 pools inside but one of them is an adventure pool. The pools outdoor were built in 1929 and the new indoor pools are from 1999. And in the adventure pool you can swim out through a sort of door and you come out to a small outdoor pool.

The Fortress of Vaxholm

The construction of the Fortress of Vaxholm, started in around the beginning of the 15th century, when the country started to realize the strategic meaning of the island of Vaxholm.

Therefore regent Svante Nilsson decided to raise a blockhouse on the island of Vaxholm.

Gustav Vasa, the king of Sweden at the time, announced a defensive plan on the parliament of Västerås. That plan included a permanent fortification on Vaxholm, which would serve for two different things: one, to protect the inlet of Sweden, and two, to take out customs from passersby. 1604 and 1612, the “House on Vaxholm” received further additions, and more was built on it. 1833 a big reconstruction started, which would give the fortress its current form.

Today the fortress is a popular tourist attraction, mainly the museum inside with the same name, with things mainly from the second world war. Also, there is actually a family who lives there. They are called Himmelstrand.

Friends arena

Friends Arena is a big arena in the area Arenastaden in Solna, Stockholm, Sweden's new national stadium for national teams. And there is room for 50,000 seated spectators.

The stadium was built by Arenabolaget AB in Solna.

Friends Arena is the largest soccer and indoor arena in the Nordic countries.

The soccer team AIK has Friends Arena as their home arena since 2013.

But Sweden’s national team played their inaugural match at the Friends arena November 14, 2012 when they won against England 4-2. I recommend you to watch a match in the Friends Arena.

Gallerian

Gallerian is a place where people go shopping.

Gallerian was created in 1976 and today it is 39 years.

Gallerian is in Hamngatan in Stockholm.

The owner of Gallerian is AMF fastigheter.

My favourite shop was Gamestop but now it`s closed.

I go there every month but it`s not much to do there.

Kรถpmangatan, Old Town

Kรถpmangatan is the oldest street of Stockholm.

In the Middle Ages the merchants had their market stalls there.

Kรถpmangatan is the earliest paved street in Stockholm.

Today there are many shops and restaurants on Kรถpmangatan.

Shops at Kรถpmangatan are mighty small but there are many fine things.

There used to be an antique shop with gold, cutlery and old lamps etc.

About three months ago there was a fire in the antique shop.

I lived in the apartment above the antique shop, it became damaged by smoke but everyone survived.

Stortorget

In the 1500s , when the Bloodbath took place on Stortorget, Kristian the second was king of Sweden.

Kristian the second was from Denmark and he was an evil king so he got the name Kristian Tyrant.

It was called the Bloodbath because so many were beheaded, blood ran between the cobbles.

Stortorget is an old square where lots of things have happened.

Stortorget is located in the Old Town and it´s an old part of Stockholm.

On Stortorget ,there is a museum called the Nobel museum where you can make a lot of different experiments.

For example , you can make slime, there is also an exhibition where you can read about lots of different discoveries. The Nobel museum is named after Alfred Nobel , who was a very famous man.

He was the one who created the dynamite.

There are also lots of cafées for example Grillska huset , they have many different delicious pastries, bread and buns and more …..

On Stortorget there are lots to do , eat and hear just on the little square.

Slussen

If you come to Stockholm you should go to Slussen. Under the ground you can find a lock.

The lock is a junction for public transport erected in 1935 in Stockholm. You can take the subway, the SaltsjÜbanan or the bus from Slussen. On one side you can find the Salt Lake and on the other side Lake Mälaren. Now Slussen is going to be restored but many people don't like the idea.

The Butterfly museum

The butterfly house is a very nice museum. The butterfly house is in Haga park in Solna.

It´s fun for all ages. I like it a lot. The butterfly house was founded in 1989 by Stephen and Marie Fried. In Haga parken the crownprincess and her family live.

If you´re going to the butterfly house you don’t have to wear something hot because it´s 25 degrees.

In the butterfly house they have white sharks and other marine animals too.

In the butterfly house they have butterflies flying around freely. The butterflies come from all over the world.

I really recommend the butterfly house. So when you´re in Stockholm go to the butterfly house. Its great fun!!!

Kungsträdgården

Kungsträdgården (Swedish for "King's Garden") is a park in the central of Stockholm. In Sweden we often call it Kungsan.

The park's central location and its outdoor cafés make it into one of the most popular hangouts and meeting places in Stockholm. It also hosts open-air concerts and events in the summer, while offering an ice rink during winters. Additionally, First of May demonstrations held by the Left Party and other communist and leftwing parties usually take place here each year. There is also a number of cafés, art galleries and restaurants; for example Galleri Doktor Glas, a name taken from the novel Doctor Glas by Hjalmar Söderberg published in 1905.

The Globe

In Sweden we have a globe. It’s half a globe. The Globe is used, among other things, to football matches and concerts. It is located close to Johanneshovsbron in Stockholm. The Globe was built in 19 February 1989. The Globetop is onehundred and thirty meters over the water. In the middle there is a line that is called the equator and it looks like an equator. You can go with the little cabin on the outside of the Globe up to the top. At hockey matches there could be nineteen thousand people in the Globe.

Grand Hotel

Grand Hotel is located in Stockholm (the capital of Sweden) and it is very luxurous but expensive to live there. Grand Hotel has five stars and Grand Hotel has also been a home for many celebrities since 1874. Grand Hotel also has one of the best spas in Sweden. Grand Hotel is very great since it´s near GrÜna Lund (Green Grove) and Gallerian (The Mall). I love their drinks and I go there every New Year and if you want to live luxurous for some days then this is definitely a recommendation from me.

Joel

Kastellholmen

Kastellholmen is a small island in �SaltsjÜn� in the central of Stockholm.

There is the fortress as the island is named after.

The fortress was owned in the past by the Stockholm defense and there are still gunner cabins under the ground there.

The current fortress was designed by the architect Fredrik Blom, it has been there since June 21st, 1845 when the old fortress that was used as the powder magazine blew up.

Nowadays however, there is no gunpowder there anymore!

Outside the fortress there are some nice cliffs with awesome view over the Gamlastan (old town) .

A perfect sunny picnic spot!

Nordiska kompaniet

The Nordic Company or Nordiska Kompaniet is one of Stockholm´s most popular shopping malls.

Josef Sachs founded NK in 1902 and the main door to the luxery departement on Hamngatan opened in 1915, now you can even find one mall in the town Gothenburg.

Have you ever been to Harrods in London? NK is like the Swedes´ version of it, just a bit smaller.

In NK you can find clothes like a piké t-shirt, accesserories like a purse and interiors like a sofa, but I recommend you to go to IKEA if you want to buy a sofa.

NK has two very special things, number one is Sweden´s oldest escalators and number two they don’t have any more but they had a golf course on the roof around 80 years ago.

The grand opening of the golf course was held by Sigvard Bernadotte, a swedish prince, who was an golf enthusiast.

In NK you can find stores like Tommy Hilfiger and Polo Ralph Lauren, They have also the store ICA which is a Swedish grossery store.

If you can’t find NK you can look for a big spinning clock with the NK-sign in the air around you, if you find your way to the spinning clock you will see NK. NK is connected with the PK-house which is a very very small shoppingcentre.

If I were a tourist who was going to Sweden, visiting NK should be one thing on a to-do list.

Skansen

Skansen is a place where animals live. There are bears, mooses and other Swedish animals. It is located on the island DjurgĂĽrden in Stockholm. Every year thousands of people come to see the animals at Skansen. You can bring food , and have a little picnic on the grass, but you can also buy food at the little cafĂŠ.

It is the only zoo park in Stockholm, and it is really big. There are peacocks and small chickens walking around free. There is actually a tunnel so you can see some animals under water. I like it at Skansen, and every word I say is true!

Sava

Skeppsholmen

There is a lot of nature on Skeppsholmen.

If I have homework to do, I often go to Skeppsholmen, I can relax there and the air is fresh.

It is a little island.

On Skeppsholmen there are lots of museums and one of them is The Modern museum.

If you want to go for a walk you can go to Skeppsholmen.

Me and my family go there sometimes and have a picnic by the water.

You can go along the water.

If you don’t want to walk you go by the ferry of Djurgürden.

I really recommend this place because it feels special for me.

Stockholm City Hall is a famous place.

In the City Hall, you can have parties and many people work there. It´s pretty big.

The City Hall is located at Hantverkargatan 1. There is a room in the City Hall where all the walls are in gold. You can visit the City Hall if you want to, but you have to pay. It took 15 years to finish.
