Copenhagen To Stockholm: Stockholm by air, for it runs the restaurant in Bromma Airport.
Traveler, What of the Night? If Stockholm matches copenhagen to stockholm as a city of gourmetry it certainly does not do so as a night-life city. I have mentioned the 700 Club and that's about all there is to say about Stockholm nightclubs, if, indeed, even that proves permanent, for the city has seemed to think nightclubs more or less "unnecessary." There are, however, very pleasant diners dansants in the leading hotels and these are conspicuously advertised in the daily papers.After a short visit to Harnosand, a town with a Skansen-like outdoor museum, the train rolls on to Sundsuall, where a Farewell Dinner is served in the excellent Hotel Knaust. This is a climactic event, followed by dancing, quite comparable to the Captain's Dinner on a luxury liner. And so—from midnight until 10 next morning—the Dollar Train rolls down to Stockholm. In no country that I have ever visited is there a land cruise at all comparable to this eight-day tour of Sweden's north. 1. Music and Drama Festivals The Stockholm Festival of Music, Drama and Ballet, coming early in June, is tied in with the other big Scandinavian festivals (Bergen, copenhagen to stockholm, Helsinki) in such a way that the traveler may take them all in as a chain of glamorous events. Stockholm's fine Opera House and its modernistic Concert Hall are settings for most of the events, but some are staged in the quaint little 18th-century Court Theater of Drottningholm Palace, the only Swedish theater of its era that is left completely intact.
Stockholm's industries include iron and steel, shipbuilding, textiles,leather, brewing, tobacco and processed foodstuffs. Stockholm, known as 'the Venice of the North', is picturesquely located on 13 islands and several peninsulas near the junction of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia.The population of Stockholm is 674,452 (1991 census), about the same as it was in 1945. |
