Drottningholm Palace
Drottningholm Palace is located on the island of Lovön in Lake Mälaren, in the western suburbs of Stockholm. It is the residence still used by the royal family of Sweden today. Walking into this "living palace," one can feel a sense of warmth and vitality rarely found in ordinary palaces. The Gallery of Charles XI was modeled after the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, and the grand staircase hall and the Queen Dowager's bedchamber were also designed by the Tessin family. In the mid-18th century, Queen Louisa Ulrika infused the palace with Rococo decorations, and during the reign of Gustav III, the English landscape gardens surrounding the palace were completed, creating the rich blend of Baroque and Rococo, French and English styles seen today. The Chinese Pavilion was a birthday surprise from King Adolf Frederick to Louisa Ulrika. Its pink and yellow Rococo facade, paired with Chinese-style furnishings, is a vivid testament to the 18th-century European craze for Chinoiserie. The Court Theater has preserved its original ropes, pulleys, and scene-changing machinery almost intact, and they are still operational today. The garden is also dotted with bronze statues by Renaissance sculptor Adriaen de Vries, which are worth seeking out as you follow the French-style flower beds.Drottningholm · 48.8 km from Strangnas

Baltic Sea
Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed sea in Northern Europe, located between the Scandinavian Peninsula and the European continent, and connects to the North Sea via the Danish Straits. It is a young inland sea formed by water accumulation after glaciers retreated. Its salinity is far lower than that of the open ocean, making it a typical brackish sea. The average water depth is only tens of meters, with only the deep trenches near the coast of Sweden reaching over 400 m. Shallow waters, small waves, and salinity stratification make it more like a vast inland lake. Departing from Stockholm by boat, you can sail into the Stockholm archipelago, which features tens of thousands of islands and reefs. Sailing and island-hopping by ferry are classic local leisure activities. To the southeast, Gotland Island features uniquely shaped limestone rocky coasts and the well-preserved medieval town of Visby. The Åland Islands have flat terrain, suitable for slow travel by bike and ferry from island to island. This area was once a major shipping route during the Viking Age; a large number of Viking silver artifacts have been unearthed on Gotland Island, and many port towns along the coast still retain traces of the maritime era. In summer, the white sandy beaches stretching along the southern coast are suitable for sunbathing and water activities. Kayaking, diving, and coastal hiking are all popular, and many visitors swim once the water warms up. In the fall and spring, coastal wetlands and bays welcome flocks of migratory birds, attracting many birdwatchers who come specifically for this. The low-salinity environment nurtures fishery resources such as herring and cod, and many places along the coast have preserved traditional flavors featuring herring.Sweden · Stockholm

Storkyrkan
Storkyrkan is located in the heart of the Old Town, nestled between the Royal Palace and the square housing the Nobel Prize Museum. Built of brick, it has undergone numerous renovations and expansions, resulting in a unique appearance that combines a medieval framework with a Baroque exterior. The church's signature highlight is the late 15th-century wood carving "Saint George and the Dragon," created by the Lubeck sculptor Bernt Notke. It was commissioned by Regent Sten Sture to commemorate the victory over the Danish army. The sculpture depicts Saint George on horseback, sword drawn, striking the dragon, with the rescued princess standing nearby. The figures of the man and horse are larger than life-size, and the dragon's fangs are even made of moose antlers, making the work full of dramatic tension. The church also displays the "Sun Dog Painting," which depicts the sun dog phenomenon over Stockholm. The painting captures the streets of the Old Town and the castle, serving as an early color depiction of the city.Stockholm · 59.1 km from Strangnas

Drottningholm Palace, located near Stockholm, is a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site and the private residence of the Swedish royal family. Built in the 17th century, it’s often called the “Versailles of Sweden” for its grand architecture, lavish interiors, and beautifully landscaped gardens. Visitors can explore the opulent palace rooms, the historic Court Theatre, and the charming Chinese Pavilion. The palace gardens, with their fountains and tree-lined avenues, are perfect for leisurely walks and photos. Easily accessible by boat or metro, Drottningholm offers a fascinating glimpse into royal history and elegant Swedish culture—a must-visit for history and architecture lovers.

The Baltic Sea is very beautiful, and the water is particularly clear. We arrived here in the evening. There were not many people and it was a little cold, but the scenery was very good. It was also a very good scenery to enjoy the Baltic Sea under the sunset.

The official name should be St. Nicholas Church. It is one of the oldest churches in the Old Town of Stockholm and was built in the 13th century. The cathedral is located on the island opposite the Riddarholmen, north of the Stock Exchange Building and close to the Grand Palace. It is the main access to the palace and the western apex of the palace slope. The cathedral slope, the main guard balcony and the narrow channel are located on its north and west sides respectively. The church displays the emblems of the royal knights of all dynasties and a famous wooden sculpture of St. George slaying the dragon, which is the largest wooden sculpture in Northern Europe. There is a statue in front of the church. I will study this later.
