I went to explore Stockholm Old Town one morning in April. I wanted pictures of Old Town with the sunlight coming in from the east. A walk through Old Town is a significant part of the Stockholm Inner City Tour I am offering this summer. I wanted more pictures to promote the tour. Plus maybe … Continue reading Old Town in the morning light

Cherry blossoms at the Royal Garden
Spring has arrived in Stockholm and one of the attractions is to go see the cherry blossoms at the Royal Garden. I did yesterday. As the otherwise venerated old elms trees withered away, they were replaced by Japanese cherry trees. For a week or two in late April they bloom with bright pink flowers and … Continue reading Cherry blossoms at the Royal Garden
Guided tours by Thoughtful Dane
This summer I offer guided tours of Greater Stockholm in Danish and English. Stockholm Old Town with many spectacular views. I moved to Stockholm in 2017 and have enjoyed exploring what this beautiful city has to offer. From the scenic Old Town in the city centre to Bronze Age petroglyphs carved on the suburb bedrock, … Continue reading Guided tours by Thoughtful Dane
Exploring the caves of Stockholm
I'm on a mission to visit more stations of the Stockholm Metro. The Stockholm Metro is the world's longest art exhibition. Most of its more than 100 stations feature art prominently and have their own unique identity. I'm particular fond of the cave stations -- the underground stations where colourful and decorated concrete walls surround … Continue reading Exploring the caves of Stockholm
Playtime
One sunny weekday in March, I took a detour to visit Thorildsplan, a metro station on the Green line six stops north from T-Centralen. The Stockholm metro is the world's longest art exhibition with most of its 100 or so station featuring art more or less prominently. I have an ambition to visit more stations … Continue reading Playtime
Stadion
My quest to visit more stations of Stockholm’s metro in 2026 brought me to Stadion, two stops north of T-centralen on the red line towards Mörby Centrum. Named after Stockholm Stadion, built for the 1912 Olympics, and with the Music Academy also near by, the art of the station reflects these themes. I love how … Continue reading Stadion
Kungsträdgården
In my project to visit more stations of the Stockholm Metro in 2026, I made a detour to visit Kungsträdgården on my latest trip to Stockholm City. Kungsträdgården is perhaps the most exquisite of them all. To submerge your senses to the art of Kungsträdgården is like entering an ancient temple of a forgotten civilisation. … Continue reading Kungsträdgården
The longest art exhibition
One of my ideas for 2026 is to visit more stations of the Stockholm Metro. They brand themselves as the longest art exhibition in the world and rightfully so. According to a 2016 book I picked up at my local library, more than 90 out of 100 stations feature art installations and some are truly … Continue reading The longest art exhibition

Targeting 60 000 visitors over three days (and two nights for those who come to play all night), the event is huge and with an international audience. … Continue reading Dreamhack Stockholm 2025
An oasis of calm close to the city
I had finished my business early and had a long sunny day ahead of me. So I decided to walk home. I had taken the commuter train to Liljeholmen, half way to the centre of Stockholm. Google suggested a route along the freeway. I aimed for a scenic detour along the Mälaren shoreline to get … Continue reading An oasis of calm close to the city
