Artipelag is not just a meeting place for exciting art, beautiful nature and great food. The building is one of Sweden’s largest exhibition institutions. Even so, architect Johan Nyrén managed to create a close-to-nature building clad in waney-edge pitched pine timber, located on a carefully chosen spot amongst the pines and boulders with a view over Baggen’s Bay. One of his fundamental ideas was that the visitor would be met immediately in the entrance hall by the four elements: fire, that crackles in the large open fireplace; earth and mountain that the structure rests upon;  the clear air and the glittering water that surrounds and frames Artipelag. Many believe that with this work, that remains as his last, Johan Nyrén will have written international architectural history.

 

Day 6:

6 hour private guided tour of Stockholm 

Stockholm. 14 islands, two bodies of water and 57 bridges. In six hours we will cover the city districts of Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Norrmalm, Östermalm, and Djurgården, each with its own special character.
Södermalm. This trendy and bohemian area of the city, offers both small wooden houses from the 1700s and a fantastic view of the city.
Gamla Stan. Or Old Town as we would say in English. Where every- thing once began. Small alleyways, cobbled streets, this island is home to the Royal Palace. As we wander the streets the history we will listen to stories and legends that make the Old Town come alive! We will also visit the Royal Palace, the King’s official residence. With 608 rooms it is the setting for most of the monarchy’s official receptions.
Norrmalm. Also known as the City Centre. Great shopping opportunities and the focal point of modern Stockholm. In the back drop see the City Hall, venue for the Nobel Prize Banquet. Why is the Blue Hall not blue? How tall is the tower? How many bricks was used to put the building together? This is one fascinating building!
Östermalm. The city’s most fashionable neighbourhood with stately apartment buildings, fantastic architecture and scenic walkways.
Djurgården. Better known as the outdoor recreation centre for the city locals. The island is home to the Vasa Museum. Imagine a ship from the 1600s which took three years to build, she takes of on her maiden voy- ages only to sail for 20 minutes before going to the bottom of the sea. Today she lies before us 98 % intact. This is a WOW experience!.
