well u should def. check out the helsinki pics on this forum !LOMO said:I don't find Stockholm beautiful. Think it looks a little ugly. Copenhagen and Oslo is far nicer than Stockholm. I don't know about Helsinki, never seen it.
Nice pics from sthlm but these don't show the best side of the city !!!
Talking about New York... yes, I can see one similarity between Stockholm city (the area in the pics, around Hötorgscity) and Manhattan. The flow of people is quite even from all directions in many streets. In Göteborg it's always one street that leads the people mainly in one direction. I don't know about Copenhagen, their Ströget maybe gives that effect too. But maybe there is a center where many busy street crosses too? I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
I like Stockholm city, ugly or not, it's busy and that's good. It gives a nice contrast to other more mellow areas in a city.
But they should try to do something about the many boring facades from the 60s, 70s. It's mystery to me that our capital has a collection of really poor architecture in the city center. Why not fill them with neon signs, that would be a step up.

To be completely honest, i don't think it's fair comparing Scandinavia's 2nd largest city () Stockholm to New York City
In architecture, density, population, culture/diversity, skyscrapers, they don't compare AT ALL, unfortunately (in some ways...)
That doesn't make Stockholm any less beautiful though, IMO.
It reminds me a lot of Copenhagen, which is obviously a good thing, for me atleast

It just when I'm in downtown Stockholm, it reminds me of new york a bit. Many of the buildings are inspired by New york, and the streets are big with quit big sidewalks too..It has a new yorkish feeling no doubt.
Of course Stockhom can't compete with New york, but downtown Stockholm city feels a bit like manhatten, a very small version though

Accoding to that site, forbes Danske Bank is the biggest company in Scandinavia, I don't know about that though, but it's no doubt the biggest Bank.Mr_Denmark said:Great pics - the place looks lovely!

maybe they are the reason sthlm reminds you of new york..?
