- It took us one day cruising to reach Stockholm from Kiel. Stockholm was first inhabited in the third millennium BC when several communities established settlements on the coast of what would be the future capital, after the glaciers retreated. The city began to take shape from the 11th century onward with the arrival of Christianity. From the 17th century, Stockholm grew exponentially, becoming a very important center for culture in the space of two centuries. At one point, Swedish were a force to reckon with. Even Russia had trouble defending itself from the Swedish, and therefore, Peter the Great envisioned a port city and made it a capital - St. Petersburg. - We took buses (Zone A 36 SEK tickets) to and from the port, and walked around the rest of the way. Our primary attractions were Golden Hall in the City Hall (100 SEK), Nobel Museum (100 SEK), Royal Palace 0, Vasa Museum (130 SEK - free Wifi)
