Stockholm, Sweden

Stockholm was a lovely place to end the trip. I wandered around the old streets of Gamla Stan under crisp blue skies and passed the time in outdoor bars, where I plotted my return to Scandinavia someday.

Masons?

Being a small town, there's not much to see but it does have a nice castle, cozy streets along a river, and a nice waterfront promenade, all of which my friend Elin showed me.

Hotel has a vintage car collection.

Room has a lovely view

Göteborg, Sweden

My time in Gothenburg was mostly spent in cozy vegan cafes and bars with local craft beer with my host Sarali. There's no famous sights, but I enjoyed the character of the city. I also explored the newly developed area of Lindholmen, where I stayed and which is filled with modern office buildings and condos

Construction everywhere

After rainy Warsaw, I arrived in Copenhagen to spectacular spring daysr with flowers blooming under deep blue skies. For two days, I hit all the main sights and especially enjoyed hanging out in the free town of Christiania.

Warszawa, Poland

Arriving in the evening, I spent my first night in Warsaw on a whirlwind walk at the magic hour snapping photos in the old town with my host Joanna. The next day was rainy, but We managed to see the Lazienki palace and contemporary art at the Ujazdowski castle. In between it all were delicious vegan cafes and bars with great Polish craft brews

Wrocław, Poland

My first night in Wroclaw, I hung out in various places around the main square, which, like much of the city, was under construction. My favorite place was the outdoor beer garden at Spiz, which has a brewery right in the square. The next day I ventured further afield and wandered around the cathedral island

Kraków

Arriving late and leaving early, I had only one full day in Krakow. I spent it taking several laps around the old town from castle to square, taking photos and sitting in cafes. In the evenings I went with my host Lydia and her friends to bars that had salsa dancing to music that unfortunately sounded like it came from a karaoke machine

Found a cool bar, only mass produced pilsners though
