I spent 2.5 hrs in Swedish History Museum to get my Viking fix with fun interactive events, yet walked via the Army Museum quickly since the lighting was too low to read and my eyes were tired. “Vikings worshipped their gods out in the elements. There were many gods, but the gods of most importance were Odin, the god of knowledge, Freya, the goddess of fertility, and Thor, the god of thunder and a symbol of strength and metalwork. The people of the Viking age are thought to have seen the world like a kind of round plate or disc, at the middle of which stood an enormous tree – Yggdrasil, the tree of life.”
After a quick stop at Östermalms Saluhall “The world's 7th best food hall" (didn’t like the pricing), I walked to Mariatorget park to take free walking tour of Södermalm, the south-island of Stockholm evolved from the industrial area of the city to a cultural mix of art, environmental development, religious acceptance and social awareness. We visited the Monteliusvägen view point, Hornsgatan, Maria Magdalena’s Church, etc.
Saturday must be a popular weeding day in Sweden, since I ran into two in different churches.
