Skyview — On Top on the Globe

Want an unobstructed view over Stockholm and a unique trip there? The Ericsson Globe is the way to go. Skyview is a funicular railway that takes you to the very top of the worlds largest hemispherical building. The Globe has hosted a lot of events over the years, so it’s kind of funny to find yourself on top of it for the first time. If you’re into hockey you might remember the World Cup of Hockey that took place here in ’96 and ’04. A hockey fan or not—the view was just great. At first you’re at bit confused over directions and then you find some of the landmarks like The Stockholm City Hall. Let alone the weather (we’re been spoiled with an early summer lately) and a somewhat cloudy sky, the scant 20 minutes were gone in the blink of an eye. I managed to shoot a panoramic film clip and took some pictures. Enjoy!

The fact that you read this means that you have found your way to Sweden.se and our blog portal. This is where we dwell. On the Internet that is. So what about the physical location of your favorite staff? Where do we drink our coffee and come up with all those great ideas? Conveniently we’re located in the very center of Stockholm, at The Swedish Institute. I’m not really one of those all-things-google-kind-of-guys, but I just couldn’t resist the Google street view of our office above. See that open window on the 3rd floor? From there I have my everyday view of Stockholm. Not that bad, eh? So this is where we are right now. And keep yourself posted—next week Sweden.se will blog from China(!).
