Thetraveljunkie.org – When we last visited Jakarta, we stayed at the Alila Jakarta, a few metres away from Monumen Nasional, and the hotel is well located and adorned with overtones of museum-worthy abstract art. What we loved the most about the Alila Jakarta is the interior design. As soon as you set foot in the door, you are transported into a perfect world of colour, simple lines, and wood. Can life get better than suite room service, wood and Alila?
Thetraveljunkie.org – We love Stockholm so much and Meatballs for the People has quickly become a must in every meatballs lover’s radar. It’s one of our favourite places in Stockholm and after visiting its restaurant a few streets away. The interior is lovely, the atmosphere great and meatballs is to die for. It’s totally worth a visit. If you do go, don’t forget to go to the bathroom to wash your hands before eating!
Thetraveljunkie.org – “Where are you going on holiday this season?” You’ve probably heard this question about a hundred times already. We don’t really plan our holiday out in advance as we prefer to be spontaneous, but if you’re after a special and magical trip, Stockholm will not disappoint. And, the Stockholm subway system is said to be the world’s longest art exhibit – 110 kilometers long. Travelling by subway is like traveling through an exciting story that extends from the artistic pioneers of the 1950s to the art experiments of today.
Thetraveljunkie.org – The best thing to start off the morning is to have a cup of coffee (especially when it’s 3 degrees outside) in Bredang. A few weeks ago we went to Norsborg for the very first time. We had been wanting to visit Stockholm for ages and the truth is that it didn’t disappoint. In today’s post we wanted to take you around the Norsborg station.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Travel photography is my passion. The more I travel, the more I’m influenced creatively. It inspires me to photograph the beauty and diversity of the world. My bojo and I took a gondola-tour with SkyView and see Stockholm from 130 meters (426 feet) above the sea.
Thetraveljunkie.org – While some people struggle to find a pair of socks that match in Stockholm, this coordinated couple blogger from Australia–Indonesia effortlessly match their clothes, and as you can see from these pictures, the resulting outfits are eye-catchingly awesome. They go by the name thebojoku on Instagram. Which outfit do you like the best? Let us know in the comments below, and don’t forget to vote for the best!
Thetraveljunkie.org – Stockholm is a lovly city to explore. We have never been to a place like the National Library of Sweden (Kongliga Biblioteket), in Humlegården Park, has been collecting virtually everything printed in Sweden or in Swedish since 1661. They also collect TV and radio programs, movies and videos distributed in Sweden, Swedish music and computer games. Their collection consists of 18 million objects and close to 10 million hours of audio and video!
Thetraveljunkie.org – The best thing about Stockholm is that there’s plenty of new things to see and do. A few months ago we came across Gondolen, Stockholm’s most spectacular views because it is suspended high above the entrance of Stockholm’s port. The restaurant features a large dining room with classy Swedish, and international, cuisine, and has a very popular cocktail lounge. It’s totally worth a visit. If you do go, don’t forget to go to the rooftop with views!
Thetraveljunkie.org – The City Hall of Stockholm is a living symbol of the city and the venue for the annual Nobel Banquet. The tower of City Hall, with its three golden crowns on top, is the most significant building on the Stockholm skyline. Apart from being the city’s administrative centre where hundreds of people work. Make sure you don’t miss the Golden Hall adorned with 18.5 million gold mosaic pieces. Stockholm is a thousand light years from any place we’ve ever seen.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Italians may claim to have perfected the skill of coffee making, and the best flat whites in the world arguably come from Australia, but if there’s a paradise for coffee addicts, it must be Stockholm. Fika. As with so many of the good things in life, the Swedes have really got this right. Fika is a Swedish tradition which means having a break. Going for a fika at a fik is a very Swedish thing.
