Our next stop, Stockholm, is a handsome city spread out on fourteen islands, and is called the Venice of the North. Didn't we hear St Petersburg called that? On our own we left the ship, walked down the pier and clambered on a ferry that stopped at some of Stockholm's leading tourist attractions, among them the local Tivoli, and the museum where a seventeenth century warship the Vasa is housed. The ship sank in 1628 on her maiden voyage, was salvaged, and now a building is built around the well-preserved ship. We got off the ferry near the royal palace and old town and sauntered along the waterfront.

Gamla Stan, or Old Town, ought to be at the top of your list. This is a place of Old World charm, with brightly painted buildings and medieval streets, which in the mid-13th century constituted the entire city of Stockholm. And since Gamla Stan is all about atmosphere, walking around is the best way to soak it up. The main street of interest here is Vasterlanggatan, liberally punctuated with shops and restaurants. Besides which, several 'must-see' attractions of the city are also to be found here, including the Royal Palace, the Parliament building, and Stortorget, the main square in the old town center, where all those picturesque, colorful houses are located.

The spacious, 120 seats RBG Bar and Grill restaurant, their restaurant on site, offer a wide variety of delectable international dishes. Choices of gourmet burgers, a long list of soups, salads and signature dishes from the grill have never failed to satisfy every customer. They also serve local dishes that tourist from all over the world need to try before they leave Stockholm. The bar creates a very relaxing and secure ambiance as guests enjoy a fine array of cocktails. It is one of the top choices of business owners and companies as venues for their meetings, major conferences and corporate events. This is because of their 5 huge meeting rooms that contain the latest audiovisual equipments necessary for all sorts of events.
