Stockholm - the most beautiful Nordic capital

I spent this weekend in Stockholm, Sweden with some more exchange students. It was real fun, we took the night train both ways, of course no beds but seats... The departure was advenrureous: the others came to the train station by bus and suddenly the bus driver switched off the engine and started a discussion with somebody on the bus who was occupying 2 seats and didn't want to put his leggs down from a seat. And the driver said he wouldn't continue driving until the idiot doesn't put his leggs down :) So we almost missed the train because of that "idiota"...
We arrived to Stockholm at 5:45 am. Completely dark, everything closed... So we decided to have breakfast at the station and then we went for a sightseeing. As it was freezing and snowing and we were all very sleepy because of the trip, we took a combined bus and boat tour in Stockholm. The city is really beautiful!! And now that I have already been to all the 5 Nordic capitals, I can tell that this is the most beautiful one. The city lies on 14 irelands that provides a unique atmosphere. Architecture is very similar to Copenhagen, but everything is bigger. You can feel and "smell" the rich history behind this country. Ok, before you fall asleep, let's go for the sightseeing :)

This "beautiful" blue building is the where the Nobel Ceremony takes place, I was expecting something nicer, I have to tell...
