Three weeks ago we decided to spend our vacation in St. Petersburg and offered our friends to join us. The friends agreed but said, that they have been at St. Pit many times and offered us to add Helsinki to our trip because it not far from St. Pit and we going to drive by cars. We said ok, booked a hotel in Helsinki and request for visa in Visa Centre of Finland. But four days ago one guy who have been in Finland many times said that there is nothing interesting to do in Finland and recommend us correct our trip and visit Stockholm. So our trip have been corrected and now we have three days to acquaint us with the Capital of Sweden:).Guys could you advise me what places by our own opinion everyone have to visit in Stockholm and Helsinki and why?

Just to get it clear, are you looking for advice from gays only?

Hi buddy,
I've been to Stockholm twice and can say it is a nice place to visit.

I'm going to start with sightseeing. First of all go to Gamla Stan (Old City), there is the Royal Palace etc. You have to visit the famous City Hall of Stockholm. The celebration of the Nobel Prize takes place there in the garden. Next place to see is Djurgården. It is an island of museums: Vasa museum is the must!

Museum of Modern Art (Moderna Museet) is located on another island - Skeppshomen. Both of the islands are connected with the mainland by the bridges. The Drottningholm Palace (Drottningholms slott) is the private residence of the Swedish royal family. You can reach Drottningholm by the ferry which goes from City Hall Square.
~~2 misused articles~~
To eat. I can recommend "Pontus By The Sea" - a nice fish restaurant at Gamla Stan. The Gondolen restaurant has a panoramic view to the city. "Josefina" is located on Djurgården and has a nice terrace. ~~Remember, if it's a title, every word is capitalized~~.
Where to stay. I was staying at Sheraton and Radisson Blue at the city center. I liked the Sheraton more.
1 or 2 missing articles, depending on how you look at it (?)
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Have a nice trip!

Herman
