"Life Line", by David Svensson (2017).The work is based upon the pulse of the artist's son before his birth, curiously similar to the radio pulsar graphic by Peter Saville that became the cover of Joy Division's "Unkwnown Pleasures".

4. Getting ice cream on Fjällgatan Fjällgatan is located on Stockholm’s southern isle high above the water and offers the best view of the city. You can see the different islands and the water. It also has AMAZING ice cream. Ignore the café in glas and go for the small yellow house on the corner for some stunning hazelnut ice cream that tastes like nutella.

5. Vasa museum This is the most visited museum in Scandinavia and holds the worlds only perserved 17th century ship that was fished out of the water just outside of Stockholm after having been at the bottom for over 300 years. Loads of history and a very beautiful ship.

6. Drottningholm palace 30-40 minutes outside of the city centre you can find the home of the royal family. And while the official castle in the old town is interesting it is ostly offices and museums but drottningholm is where the king and queen lives. It is a place of beauty. Located by the water the castle has a massive garden, a few shops, a café, and a second smaller castle called Kina. 

7. Stadsbiblioteket This is Stockholm public library and should be of interest for those interested in cool and beautiful architecture. The main hall is completely round, with books decorating the walls. Maybe you won’t want to read during your vacation but walking up to the highest bookshelves in the dome will make you feel very cultured. It is also nicely located between the metro stations Odenplan and Rådmansgatan.
