An "under-the-covers" investigation of the strong, silent, nordic type
posted by Curiosa at 6:05 PM
Kommissarie F. Curiosa is a female detective in her mid-twenties delving into the baffling yet somehow tantalizing mystery of the Swedish male in Sweden's chilly capital city. She's a modern-day Mata Hari, infiltrating the grisly underworld of dating in a foreign country.
During the course of her investigation, Curiosa discovered that blogs about dating are an excellent way to get dates. Of course, none of her dates were actually with the strong, silent, Nordic type. Her romantic attention was soon captivated to a fellow expat blogger, who took the interesting and unconventional approach of writing odes to Ullrick. Turns out, the way to a girl's heart is through her cat.
This resulted in a suspension of Curiosa's investigation of the strong, silent Nordic type, but not to fear, her new relationship provides plenty of 'blog fodder', much to the dismay of her significant other.

Blow up the German embassy! Do Stockholm like it's 1975.
Hmm... how about "Systembolaget" at Regeringsgatan (or any other large one)? A store for alcoholic beverages only, and the inability to buy them anywhere else, made an australian colleague of mine fashinated enugh to declare it a tourist attraction.
Evening picnic at Långholmen (Or skinnaviksparken) for super sunset views (+ possibility of bathing at Långoholmen)
I would take her on a boat trip to Fjäderholmarna. Have some dinner at the restaurant, sit and watch the sun set from the cliffs, maybe take a bath.
Glasshuset at Medborgeplatsen for 3 scoops, then 1/2-1 hour people watching from the steps or a nearby bench at Medborgeplatsen.
Also good for rainy days (or as in my case old grandmothers who don't walk far) - take one of those sightseeing busses. Plus the parliament has free guided tours in English and is more interesting than I thought it would be.
Skokloster Castle! I's a bit of a trip but absolutely worth it. A castle frozen in time since the owner died in the late 1700, contains the worlds largest collection of muskets..
Not to forget the Gold Room at the Historiska Museet( a really good collection of Viking gold among other things)

OR have dinner at Thaibåten, at the very end of Östgötagatan, v nice food and its own beach!!
fåfängan. fiket högst upp på berget. do it man.
Hmm.. how about:
- Kayaking in the archipielago
- Lunch/Fika at Kaknästornet in Gärdet
- A nice and quiet walk at Skogskyrkogården
Have fun! :)
Afternoon/evening route: Begin at the boat café by Djurgårdsbron, walk beside Galärparken and the jettys on your way to Vasa museum, view Stockholm from any high Gröna Lund attraction, take the ferry to Slussen, have a beer at Debaser and take the the Katarina elevator up to Södra Teatern and Mosebacketerassen to get the late views and mingle with people there, or later on at Medborgarplatsen.
Hmmm I wanna know if you used any of the suggestions!!!!
