STOCKHOLM - Capital of Sweden

[èđđeůx]

Cities are much more beautiful during winter, and Stockholm is proof.

In Scandinavia, I think most people feel exactly the opposite...

You are so right. Great photos but Winter scenes such as these are beautiful to look at but not to live in. Haven't been to Scandinavia in Winter but I was in Munich last January and it was positively miserable walking about in the sub zero temperatures with cold winds blowing, don't want to do that again.

That's not really true for many swedes though. I happen to love winter and snow, and I know a lot of people who do as well. Of course we can all agree that standing at a buss stop or train platform in -10C can be miserable, but to a lot of swedes, a moderate -5C or so and a good snow cover do a lot to brighten our otherwise very dark winters.

The sense I get is that it's actually November that's the universally loathed month. Dark, damp and depressing (gray skies, gray and brown trees, constantly wet), not the winter months.

Great for looking at from afar, a pain to have to live with every winter.

Summers must feel amazing in Sweden. I'm assuming not too hot and no worries about humidity at all.

Stockholm in summer and winter are two different cities. At least, it feels that you are in a different place, even if you have spent all year round here.
Also, I do agree that autumn and early spring are the most unwelcoming and unpredictable seasons. However, it doesn't feel very different in terms of climate, if the one grew up in higher latidues (like me).

Great pictures. Thank you for sharing!
By the way, the building of 'Scandic hotel' is going to be demolished soon. A new, larger, hotel, together with some apartments and a new commuter train station in one complex will be built there instead.
