Huge escalator / Alby Station

Alby tunnelbanestation has a set of huge escalators leading to the northern exit and riding them can easily take over 2 minutes. During the fall of 2014 the SL started changing them thus you could only use them, thankfully, to go up, imagine if you would have to climb those stairs every day? Well, at least you'd save in gym fares due to the amount of cardio you'd be doing daily.

Rainy day at Hötorget

Hötorget is a public square in downtown Stockholm, you can visit it via T-centralen or Hötorget tunnelbana stations (a piece of trivia: in both stations Madonna recorded part of her «Ray of light» video). The square is fairly big, it has one of the biggest open-air public fruit/vegetables market in the whole Greater Stockholm area. There it is also a major cultural hub with hundreds of bars, pubs, restaurants, stores and many many events through out the year. A must-visit location if you are ever in the City.

Tvärbanan

Have I already told you I love rail transportation? If not, well, I LOVE trams, trains, subways, etc. This is Stockholm's tramway, very comfortable and reliable. Something I like about our månadskort (monthly transport card) is that you can ride all buses, subway/tramway lines and a few ferries since they are all included in your monthly fare. Tourists can also benefit of the 1, 3 or 7 days all-included cards and, believe me, it worth it to get one of those if you are visiting Stockholm.

Balloon over Gamla Stan

During Summer it is common to see balloons over Stockholm and its surroundings. This particular ballon was spotted over Gamla Stan in early August 2014.
