Features tours of  major sights such as the Royal Palace, Kungliga Slottet, the Vasamuseet, several museums, and the fabulous, luxury food market, Ostermalmshallen, for reindeer and smoked fish. Detailed neighborhood walks cover the oldest part of Stockholm,  the green spaces of Djurgarden, and the ultra trendy, formerly working class area of Sodermalm and Langholmen. Special interest tours include 20th century Swedish architecture; Swedish design, Kid’s Stockholm, Artistic Stockholm, and Gourmet Stockholm.. Outdoor Stockholm featuers parks and sea side walks not found elsewhere in the book. Day trips are offered to the Island of Fjadeerhollmarna, as well as Sigtuna to the north of Stockholm, and the island of Birka, which is a living Viking excavation. About the Author After co-writing learned volumes on Japanese prints and guitars, Mary Anne Evans turned to her more immediate surroundings and became one of the leading travel writers on London and Britain, particularly on restaurants. Several guide books and many magazine articles later, Europe beckoned. Stockholm has always been close to her heart as she is married to a Finn and has spent many happy holidays in Stockholm and Finland
