While in Stockholm I went on a day trip to Tyresta National Park and absolutely loved it! There are a variety of trails of different lengths that are well marked and suitable for people of varying abilities/fitness. If you can I would definitely recommend seeing Lake Årsjön within the park. It is a beautiful lake and a perfect place to take a little break.

The Old Town, unsurprisingly, is the oldest part of Stockholm. It's certainly the tourist's go-to destination, but that doesn’t detract from its architectural and otherwise urban beauty.

Cobble streets, quirky nooks and crannies, good mix of shops bars, cafes and beautiful buildings and museums, we stayed within Gamla Stan and very glad we did, easy access from there to everywhere and lots of museums worth walking to nearby. Definitely worth trying to stay within Gamla Stan area. We stayed in small scandic hotel which was located just at one end of Gamla Stan.

The Vasa ship capsized and sank in Stockholm 1628. After 333 years on the seabed the mighty warship was salvaged and the voyage could continue. Today Vasa is the world's only preserved 17th century ship.

This excellent free museum is located under the Stockholm Parliament & is accessible via steps & a lift off Norrbro, one of the bridges to Gamla Stan. It tells the story of early Stockholm amongst the ruins found when a proposed car park was excavated. It's very well thought out with both the history & day to day life of the cities residents explained in both Swedish & English. Given the early sunset at this time of year, combined with the cold, we found this a wonderful place to spend an hour late in the day. It's wonderful that it's completely free as this is one of the more interesting museums I have visited.

With limited daylight and limited hours in November, Skansen was nevertheless a great experience. We were told at the beginning which areas were "open" but in fact all of it was open as far as we could tell. The "open" areas were the ones with period correct persons that you could speak with and get a better sense of the times. Make sure to go to those - was fun and informative and gave depth. We spent a few hours and didn't see half of what was available, even though most areas didn't have persons to talk to. In the zoo area we enjoyed the playful otters and wolves the most.
