Do to the raging success and glut of useful information garnered in my [What should I do in Alaska?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=58046) thread, I’ve decided to seek Doper help again. I plan to be in Stockholm for about a week during the tail end of November. I’m going primarily because I can. A friend is there for work for a few months, so I have a place to stay and all that good stuff. On the agenda so far are the Vasa Museum (which is of particular interest to me) and consumption of better-than-American Guinness. That leaves me with a fair amount of time to fill. Ideas? Thanks!

Find a nice girl named Inga, please to help her with her rucksack, eat some meatballs, and find out what the throes of passion sound like with a Svedish accent? ---

You could express affection towards your kidnappers. ---

The [Moderna Museet](http://www.modernamuseet.se/) is nice. Carl Milles is one of my favorite sculptors, and his [sculpture garden](http://www.photo.net/sweden/stockholm/milles) in Stockholm is worth a visit, though I don’t know if it’ll be closed for winter when you’re there or not. ---

I’ll ask my better-half (aka Stockholm-born **Anniz** ) to post some things, but the Vasa is definitely a place to go to. The National Museet is pretty sweet, too, as is an afternoon spent in Gamla Stan, the old town. ---

I agree with every suggestion here. One more thing is to see the castle too, if you find that interstening of course. And if you have time, take a cruse to helsinki, that is a lot of fun. Also go to Skansen, it’s a place with animals and old houses and farmsteads. A bit of Swedens culture there. [Skansen](http://213.131.156.72/skansen_ny/eng/) Have a good time in Stockholm.🙂 ---

I’m told that even if you’re not a metro freak like me, their metro stations are FABULOUS. In fact, when I finally end up in Europe I intend to make a stockholmward jaunt just for the metro. ---

Great suggestions so far! Keep 'em coming. Just a couple of questions for Turbo Dog: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Turbo Dog \* > \*\*Find a nice girl named Inga, please to help her with her rucksack, eat some meatballs, and find out what the throes of passion sound like with a Svedish accent? \*\* Does it have to be an Inga? Would an Ursala or a Lena do as well? I’d hate to narrow the field unnecessarily. Also, what’s a “rucksack”? Maybe that wasn’t supposed to be an “r”, and you left out the space in the middle…?
