Oooh, I was looking for this thread before & couldn't find it. I wanted to ask.... I love checking off the touristy things when I go to new places & so when I'm in Stockholm, where do I get the best Swedish meatballs(just noticed comment on that in 1st post) & I've read about Pelikan old fashioned beer halls & is it good to wander around Gamla Stan(oh, I see there's info about that in page 1 too) + the midday changing of the guard at the royal palace sounds worth checking out.

I'm definitely going to try & make the most of my 2'ish days in Stockholm.

Coming here all the way from NZ, thats awesome! The meatballs place is good for a quick lunch, if youre looking for more of a restaurant for dinner, this is the place many consider have the best meatballs:
Restaurant: Prinsen, its in central Stockholm, warning, it can be pricey, but meatballs would be on the cheaper end on the menu. But youll prob pay 15-20 Euro for a meatball dish. This restaurants is one of Stockholms real classic ones. Address: Mäster Samuelsgatan 4

Pelican that you mentioned is a beer hall, ate there not too long ago, its cheaper than the one I mentioned, and the food is good! Meatballs here are recommended as well!

So now you got three really good meatball options

Cool. Thank-you!! I spent a few days in Malmo a few years ago, so my 2nd time in Scandinavia. Very much looking forward to it, even if it will all be rushing around to concerts etc.

Anyone else miss out on Oslo tix so goin Stockholm - Copenhagen? Travel tips?

I usually use flybe.com when booking flights between Sthlm and Copenhagen. They fly from Bromma and it's actually closer to Sthlm city (8km) than Arlanda, which is the major airport (35km) . There are buses going from Stockholm Central to Bromma and it's only a 20 minute ride. I wouldn't recommend taking the train during the summer time as they tend to be crowded and more expensive than flying.

Thanks Suzi. I was kind of thinking train would be good to see the countryside as well & also seeing I'm not in so much of a hurry but I'll check out flights. Thnx.
