We found some more backstreets in Gamla Stan, always more surprises.

The suburb of Åkersberga is at the end of the Roslagsbanan, there are signs toward a borgruin, but when I tried to follow them I couldn’t find it.

Further up the road toward Östersund is the Big Moose motel, with the smallest railway station I’ve ever seen.

There is a river running through the centre of Uppsala.

I went back to Uppsala.

The small town of Sigtuna is situated on the shores of the lake to the north west of Stockholm, was at one time an important city, albeit a small one. Its population has grown significantly in recent years with the arrival of the nearby Arlanda airport.

On the way back from Fredricksborg ruin I stopped at Gustavsberg, the home of toilet manufacturing in Sweden.

The town of Enköping is just over half an hours drive west from here, it is a small old town with a lot of history both in and around.

We visited Norrtälje, a small industrial town to the north east of Stockholm.

On the island of Skeppsholmen is some art outside the modern art museum.
