So what's to do in Sweden?

Raymond Chen

Here is where Raymond gets to abuse his power as a blogger to get some free travel advice. I will likely travel to Sweden in mid-March, with a whopping total of five months of Swedish under my belt. I’m sure I will embarrass myself horribly, but that’s sort of the point, after all. The question is, “So what’s to do in Sweden?” I was thinking of flying in to Stockholm, spending the first day recovering from jet lag, then spending maybe a week exploring whatever there is to see there. (Well, I’ll actually be staying with a friend in Uppsala, but there appears to be regular train service to/from Stockholm.) Definitely hit Vasamuseet, Nobelmuseet, and Gamla Stan. I’m sure there’s other stuff too. Then I figure I’d hop a train to Göteborg and spend the remaining three days there doing, um, I have no idea. But I’m told it’s a nice city. Yes, this plan means that I miss out on Gotland, Skåne, the -Köppings, and all the northern bits. But then again, you can’t see a whole country in just ten days.

So am I nuts?
