Stockholm, You must try the water

The quality of the water in sweden is top-notch

I love that you actually tried and speak swedish. That's something people in Sweden aprichiate. Hearing butcherd swedish is something we are quite used to.

Just a small correction. Gamla Stan (Old Town) was previously known as "City between the bridges", hence some confusion. However, most of the building dates back to the 13th century, and consists of medieval alleyways, cobbled streets, and archaic architecture. North German architecture has had a strong influence in the Old Town's construction. "Stortorget" (Grand square) is the name of the scenic large square in the centre of Gamla Stan, which is surrounded by old merchants' houses including the Stockholm Stock Exchange Building. The square was the site of the Stockholm Bloodbath, where Swedish noblemen were massacred by the Danish King Christian II in November, 1520. The following revolt and civil war led to the dissolution of the Kalmar Union and the subsequent election of King Gustav I.

Really refreshing vlog mate, love your energy 👍 But I gotta correct you mate, the Old Town of Stockholm (Gamla Stan) has certainly not just been around since the 1700-1800s. It’s quite literally the old town of Stockholm, from which Stockholm as a whole spawned. Many of the buildings were built in the medieval period and has been maintained ever since. The area is like 800-900 years old, and officially founded as a city in 1252 ℹ️

Now, I wanna go to Sweden one day... 😂

"af" is the Swedish equivalent of the German "von".

Gustavus Adolphus or Gustav Adolph, not Adolph Gustaf. He's credited as the father of modern warfare. As for the changing of guards, the horse cavalery are also done daily, just an hour later. Same thing, same route, just with horses. Stockholm has so many historic and beatiful places to visit. Just bring comfortable shoes.

The small stream of water that now flows from Stortorgsbrunnen and Tyska brunnen during the summer is meant to give the impression that they are still functioning, but the water comes from Stockholm's water supply network.

In april-may those beatiful cherry trees at the Kings garden (Kungsträdgården) are blooming, full with pink flowers. Many people go there for taking photos. 🌸🌸

Gamla stan has been around since the 11-1200s haha, but great video! Loving the energy and spontaneity 🤩

Hey Codey, nice video! 🙋‍♀️ Do you know that you can travel with some ferrys with your ”busticket” or Tube ticket. The boats are included in the public transport system by SL. Storstockholms Lokaltrafik. Within a certain time limit you can use the same ticket. For example one line goes between Gamla Stan and the island of Djurgården. You can also travel by your SL-ticket to Nacka Strand and Lidingö. You depart the boat in the city from Nybrokajen, by Berzelii Park.

The military band is actually from the Swedish homeguard or what you guys call TA's. And the guards are from the Swedish military tech School, conscripts and cadetts that gonna serve as mechanics and it specialists.

The manouver where the band kind of folds in on itself and emerges marching in the opposite direction is called "Rättvänd genomgång". I think it's called a "carousel turn" in English. Done those a couple of times there.

Nice to see that you are enjoying my hometown.

If you want to go by boat, tgere are several boatlines in Stockholm that takes the same app/tickets as the buses/tram/subway.

I've lived in Stockholm for 15 years and never seen that military music parade... Guess I don't go out that much! :D

We do have great water in Sweden for sure:) Glad you seemed to enjoy your time in the capital.

2:29 This blue building is the Stockholm concert hall. It's the place where the Nobel Prizes are handed out every year on December 10th (all of the prizes except the peace prize, that one is handed out in Oslo). 2:58 The pink building on the opposite side is PUB, which used to be a department store 1912-2016. Now it's a hotel. Fun fact. Actress Greta Garbo used to work there before she went to Hollywood and became famous. 5:01 This building by Gustaf Adolf's square is the Royal Opera house. 5:57 That Ocean bus is a fun tourist sight seeing tour, since it goes both on both land and in the sea! 9:04 It's not at this palace the Swedish King and Queen lives though, that's at Drottningholm Palace, about 20 km west of Stockholm. It's well worth a visit too.

If you are short on cash don’t go to Starbucks. If you are rich, definitely don’t go to Starbucks. If you are visiting, try something local.

What you tried to say was: Hötorget = The hay square What you actually said was: Hörtåget = The hear train 😂
