two kings in one

Charles XIII & II (Swedish: Carl XIII) (7 October 1748 - 5 February 1818), was King of Sweden (as Charles XIII) from 1809 and King of Norway (as Charles II) from 1814 until his death. One statue, two kings.

Even though I'm of that age that I had to learn our kings by heart in school, I say what on earth would I do without Wikipedia?

another underground

If you go up you enter the multi-storey car park Parkaden. If you go down you enter Malmfaret, an extensive network of roads and wharfs under the houses.

This is the Winter Garden at the Grand Hotel and a fashion show held by KSSS (Royal Swedish Yacht Club). You could either buy a ticket to just mingle or you could have dinner as well.
