Sweden - Stockholm





The Royal Palace


Finally, on my 3rd trip to Sweden I'm able to make some time to visit inside the Palace.  It's quite an old and nice building. I didn't find it as great as castles in France, but still very worth the visit. Also, something unique I found, is that they have a lot of information about the Knight Orders in Sweden, and how the system worked, including uniforms, weapons, signs, and others. Very interesting.

Army Museum

The most interesting thing I found on this museum is the 3rd floor, describing a good part of the history of Sweden, and giving a pretty good idea of how noblemen, and peasants used to live and think during the different periods.



The museum isn't that big, actually just 2 and 1/2 floor. But I spent a few hours reading the history of the country. This is the most valuable part of the visit.

On the 2nd floor, they have an older Swedish drone plane on exposition.
