Stockholm Cathedral, aka St. Nicholas Church, aka Big Church - Storkyrkan. The oldest church in the historic center of Stockholm.
For a long time, the Cathedral was the site of the coronation of Swedish kings.For all its grandeur, the impression of the building of the Cathedral is strange, like that of the Issakivsky Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Mixing several styles ... Although, perhaps, such an eclecticism gives an additional "charm". Well, inside ... I, a Petersburger, is no stranger to beautiful decorations, but .... In general, judge for yourself))
5 hours to explore Stockholm is nothing at all ... It's just a run. Colleagues took a tour of the Russian-speaking guide "Stockholm through the eyes of local residents". We were very satisfied. We went down the subway, raced on the tram, went by the steamer. We went to see everything for ourselves and this was probably not the best decision. One conclusion - 7 or 8 days for inspection. However, in Stockholm there is neither heat nor frost. You can call in on February 23, or March 8. Nevertheless, we watched the opening of the guard at the royal palace, with a demonstration of signals. We saw in the Cathedral the unique figure of St. George the Victorious piercing a snake made of animal horns. We drank a cup of coffee in an establishment named after the hero of the struggle against the Kalmar Union "Sten Sture".
