Beyond Norrtälje is a small peninsula with a port on the end of it. From here you can catch boats to Helsinki, Turku and various ports in Poland and Estonia.

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

Between Gamla Stan and Djurgården is the royal island of Skeppsholmen, with a number of museums and beautiful views across the water to other parts of the city.

After we finished with the Vikings we stayed in the city of Östersund.

Vikings enjoying the lake at the bottom of the garden. There are beautiful views over the lake to the mountains in the background.

Some views of the sky over Storsjön from Norderön.

The Viking longhouse is situated in a forest leading down to the beach of Norderön.

Some of the vikings at the Longhouse.

There are some statues in the gardens around Stadshuset.

I took a walk along the shore of Kungsholmen, with views across the lake to Långholmen and Södermalm.
