The Royal Palace

If it is royalty and palaces that peak your interest I would strongly recommend visiting here, it is one of the world’s largest palaces, it has so much to
offer and explore that you will want to return after your first visit.

The Royal Palace

A stunning Palace which was built in the eighteenth century is home to the king

The Nobel Museum

The Museum is directly in the middle of the old town which is full of history. I have a question for you, Do you enjoy Literature, Economics, Chemistry and Physics and want peace for all? If that is a yes there are free tours Stockholm
has in the Novel Prize Museum.

The Nobel Museum

Everyone who have chosen to study and explore these professions and many more people have heard of the prestigious Nobel Prize awards, it is one of the greater honours in these fields someone could obtain.

The Award can be won by anyone in the world. A fun fact is that the museum was founded in the year 2001, which is also when the Nobel Prize
celebrated 100 years.

From 1901 to 2019 the Nobel peace prize has only been awarded 99 times to the amazing work of 133 Novel Laureates, an absolutely amazing achievement.

In the museum there are exhibitions about the amazing Marie Curie, Winston Churchill and the great Nelson Mandela.

You will be able to experience the walkthrough timeline of all the triumph since 1901 and see many have accomplished so much helping us grow in many industries and in health. For those who enjoy short films the Museum plays some based on these brilliant minds.

Currently, they do have a great exhibition on Martin Luther King Junior about the right to Freedom but this will only until mid-September 2019.

If you are not able to make this exhibition the Nobel Museum runs many exhibitions and other lectures throughout the year giving people many opportunities to see, learn and explore more.

For Facilities there is a restaurant to satisfy any hunger or thirst and if you wish for something to remember your trip you could visit their gift shop.

There is a saying that great minds think alike, you could never know if you come and visit the Museum there could be am idea or creation there that may spark something inside you or someone you know which with dedication, hard work and creativity may land you a brilliant idea which could change the world and you could land
yourself a Nobel Prize.

To some this sounds like just a dream but everything was made better or invented by a dream of creating a better world for all, a dream to stop all illnesses, a dream to have world peace, a dream to make the impossible possible.

I could talk on and on about this Museum but it will not compare to visiting it in real life and experiencing it all for yourself.

Riddarholm Church

This church combines so much for a tourists with the benefits of great design and the history of many rulers.

Many come to admire the beautiful church, some to pay there respects to those that lay there and added so much to the country through many years, and others visit to explore some amazing history of
this church and all who are laid to rest within.

Apart from special arrangements and requests the church arranges walk in tours during spring all the way through to autumn only and in the summer weekends it hosts Gregorian music festivals.

An interesting fact is that on the walls of the church hang some of the knights of Seraphim’s armour, whenever a knight of order passes away his coats arms will be hung in respect with the Bells ringing constantly between 12.00-13.00 when the funerals take place.

Churches mean a lot to many people some through spirituality and others through art.
