a cup of coffee, please

I'm not sure how many people know there is an outside part of this very famous café. I didn't until just recently. I'll keep it in mind when the temperature rises again and it's enjoyable to sit outside. Right now I guess the coffee turns cold quickly.

I shouldn't bore you yet again with the "Venice of the North" slogan. Still, there's no getting around the fact that Stockholm consists of islands and water. Consequently, we need quite a few bridges to keep it all together.

Sankt Eriksbron ("St Eric Bridge") is a 227 meter steel construction inaugurated in 1937 and it'll bring you, your bike, your car, bus or subway train safely from Kungsholmen to Norrmalm. Or, on special occasions, the other way...
