Stockholm, Sweden’s capital city is a great place.   Like Bergen in Norway and Helsinki Finland which I have visited before, I think all Scandinavian cities are on a archipelago, an urban mesh of highways and buildings seated on top of a collection of islands and rivers separating land.  The Swedish government’s buildings straddle these rivers.

Christianity has been a great foundational part of Scandinavian life, even if the country is mostly secular these days.   The Johannes Klockstapel is an old church from 1692.
