Sergels Torg office blocks |
First, the domino-row of office blocks between Sergelgatan and Sveavägen, seen from the window of Coppola Caffé, on Sergels Torg. We spent a lot of time there, making the most of the free refills, which seem to be fairly standard in Copenhagen and Stockholm. The café is in on of the big shopping centres overlooking Sergels Torg, which a big junction and plaza, and one of the hubs of the city. There is street entertainment and stalls, surrounded by modern blocks and grand department stores.
Karlaplan |
Karlaplan is a round park at the head of a smart boulevard, with a fountain at the centre. It was quietly busy on a Sunday morning. Here is the view, in slices, from the pinnacles of buildings above the ring of trees to the benches around the water.
The boats around Skeppsholmen |
There's a completely different impression of the city from the waterfront - and there's a lot of waterfront, as Stockholm spreads over a number of islands. We crossed the bridge to Skeppsholmen and walked right around, looking at the boats in their berths and watching ferries zip back and forth, interspersed with a few Baltic cruise ships.

Finally some café sketches. I enjoyed sitting still at the centre of a busy city - but with more time in Stockholm I could have kept myself very busy.
