Stockholm Travel Guide

Sweden's beautiful capital has a picturesque setting that makes the city unique. The difference between seasons is quite large, the summers green with mild nights, and the winters dark, cold, rainy, sometimes snowy, and with millions of Christmas candles in the windows.

 m3.jpgLocated in Hagaparken, in the northern part of Stockholm, you will find Fjäril och Fågelshuset (the Butterfly and Bird House). This is an interesting place for people of all ages. Once inside, your first visit would be through a greenhouse garden with a beautiful collection of plants, trees, and fish. From there you can enter the exciting bird house. The constant stream of humans has not deterred the birds or forced them into the reclusion of their trees and shrubs. Rather, they are bold and loud, shrieking and flying about, or they walk around on the ground, sometimes forcing people to walk around them. Then there is the Butterfly Room; it is magical. Butterflies are everywhere, they land on your shoulders, your head and your eyelashes. They are lovely, that is until you reach the cocoon and larva display, where you realise they haven’t always been that beautiful. On the other side of the gallery and cafe, is a Japanese garden filled with hummingbirds. The best time to visit would be during the colder, darker months.
