Spread across 14 islands on Lake Mälaren, Stockholm’s very environment encourages you to rove and see where you’ll end up. There are around 50 bridges in the centre alone, while ferries are a fun way to get about. When it comes to fashion, design and music Stockholm is well ahead of the curve, and many of the coolest places to shop and go out are on the island of Södermalm south of the centre. The lion’s share of the museums and family days out are on Djurgården, a wooded island where the city goes for rest, culture and fun. Let’s explore the best thing to do in Stockholm: © Copyright Smile of Europe – Destination Management Company – 2019 / 2020 2 SWEDEN « Northern Lights Explorer » 06 Days / 05 Nights • Stockholm – tours & sightseeing & activities : 1) Canal Trip - so much of Stockholm’s charm lies in its waterways that you’d be remiss not to see the city from the water. You could even say it’s the first thing to do in the city, as you’ll get your bearings and see the parts you’d like to explore deeper later on. A favourite trip is to head east on the Djurgårdsbrunnskanalen, a canal on the side of Djurgården. This was dug during the reign of Charles XIV in 1825. On the way out there are lush views of palaces and gardens, and as you loop back you’ll see the city in all its majesty. You could also take a bridges, which takes around two hours if you want to dig a bit deeper. 2) Gamla Stan – Begin by going back to Stockholm’s roots at one of Europe’s great medieval centres, spread over three islands. You’ll be in the midst of a true Hanseatic trading city, where gabled shops and warehouses are painted various shades of gold. These now host all manner of restaurants, many garnering international awards, as well as museums, studios, bijou boutiques, cafes and bars. On the eastern side of the old town there’s a long sequence of parallel cobblestone lanes leading in from the water and dipping under passageways. Come here to squeeze through Mårten Trotzigs Gränd, an alley that tapers to just 90 centimetres across. 3) Royal Palace - with more than 600 rooms Stockholm’s Royal Palace is up there with the largest palaces in Europe. There are five museums in this mostly 18th-century complex, which isn’t just a historical relic: The King of Sweden still lives here, most royal events and receptions happen at the palace and all the various departments associated with the royal family operate in these plush environs. Just a brief run-down of the must-sees includes the reception rooms, the royal apartments, the Rikssalen (Hall of State) and the Ordenssalarna (Halls of the Orders of Chivalry). Of the five museums, the Treasury is predictably lavish and Gustav III’s Museum of Antiquities has ancient Greek and Roman sculptures bought by the king during his trip to Italy in 1783-84. 4) The City Hall - one of the buildings that makes Stockholm, well, Stockholm is the City Hall, unmistakeable for its 106-metre tower and spire. Composed of eight million bricks it’s the perfect expression of the Nordic National Romantic style and was inaugurated in June 1923 400 years to the day after Gustav Vasa’s arrival in the city. The dimensions of the spaces inside are spellbinding, most of all the Blue Hall where the Nobel Banquet is held every December. After dinner, there’s a dance in the Golden Hall, which is adorned with 18 million gold mosaic tiles. An integral part of any visit is scaling the tower and gazing over Stockholm. 5) Strandvägen - beside the water on Östermalm is one of the most exclusive addresses in the city: A boulevard and esplanade with views to Gamla Stan and Skeppsholmen, and tying Djurgården to the centre of the city. Strandvägen was plotted in the late 19th century and completed in 1897 for the Stockholm World’s Fair. The long row of palatial apartment buildings is in the Revivalist style, epitomised by Isak Gustaf Clason’s Bünsow Building, which looks like a Loire Valley chateau. Stockholm’s tour boats and water taxis converge on Strandvägen, and the esplanade has scores of cafes and bars for a quick refreshment before carrying on your way. 6) Monteliusvägen - before or after a trip to Fotografista, mosey across to the wood and cobblestone path above the north coast of Södermalm. In a city that has a replete with scenic views, this may be the finest of them all: You’ll get your best shots of the City Hall and Gamla Stan from this 500-metre trail, and the light at sunrise and sunset is dreamy. Over Lake Mälaren you’ll watch the big ships hoving into view and the smaller launches darting back and forth. There’s also an old-time feel about this residential neighbourhood, and lots of places close by to grab a cold drink in summer or warm up with “fika” in winter. 7) Nordic Museum - Artur Hazelius, founder of the Skansen Museum, also conceived this ethnographical attraction a few moments away on Djurgården. The Nordic Museum spells out the cultural history of Sweden from about the 16th century onwards, showcasing its traditional costume and textiles, ceramics, jewellery, furniture and folk art. You can also get a handle on the Sami, Sweden’s only indigenous culture, and dip into their history, beliefs and way of life. Isak Gustaf Clason was hired to design the building and came up with an extraordinary Neo-Renaissance palace that was finished in 1907 after a 19-year construction and would be worth the visit alone. 8) Stortorget - a mandatory stop in Gamla Stan is the oldest square in the city at the highest point of the island. Stockholm’s expansion in the High Middle Ages began at this very point, and you can be sure that Stortorget has seen some drama in its time. One was the Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520 when up to 90 people were executed in the square by Danish forces. The cannonball in the wall at the corner where Skomakargatan joins the square is said to go back to this time. Stortorget’s beauty is in its gabled houses from the 1600s and 1700s, and the Christmas market in December when treats like ginger snaps (pepparkakor) and mulled wine (glögg) bring plenty of cheer. 9) Drottningholm Palace - one of Sweden’s three World Heritage Sites is on the western outskirts of Stockholm. Drottningholm is in the French style and was conceived in 17th century. Refinements were made over the next few hundred years when each successive monarch left his or her own mark on the palace. There are opulent salons from the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s, but one of the remarkable details is the Palace Theatre, which dates to the 1700s and continues to stage performances to this day, unchanged. The Chinese Pavilion, finished in 1769, is another marvel in an oriental-infused Rococo style and with interiors enriched with decorative works like porcelain and lacquered furniture gathered by the Swedish East India Company in the 18th century.

  • The Blend of Normative Uncertainty and Commercial Immaturity in Swedish Ice Hockey
    The Blend of Normative Uncertainty and Commercial Immaturity in Swedish Ice Hockey Re-submitted for publication in Sport in Society (February 2014). By describing and analysing normative uncertainties and the commercial immaturity in Swedish ice hockey (SHL/SIHA), this article focuses on the tension and dialectics in Swedish sport; increasingly greater commercial attempts (i.e., entrepreneurship, ‘Americanisation’, multi-arenas, innovations and public limited companies (plcs)) have to be mixed with a generally non-profit making organisation (e.g., the Swedish Sports Confederation) and its traditional values of health, democracy and youth sports and fosterage. In this respect, the elite ice hockey clubs are situated in a legal culture of two parallel norm systems: the tradition of self-regulation in sport and in civil law (e.g., commercial law). Indeed, the incoherent blend of idealism and commercialism in Swedish elite hockey appears to be fertile ground for hazardous (sports) management and indebtedness. This mix of ‘uncertainty’ and ’immaturity’ has given rise to various financial trickeries and negligence, which have subsequently developed into legal matters. Consequently, the legal system appears to have become a playground for Swedish ice hockey. This article reflects on the reasons and the rationale in this frictional development by focusing on a legal case that comes under the Business Reorganisation Act. The analysis reveals support for a ‘soft’ juridification process in Swedish ice hockey in order to handle the charging tension of the two parallel norm systems. Keywords: entrepreneurship, public limited company (plc.), non-profit-organisation, bankruptcy, business reorganisation, juridification. Introduction Swedish ice hockey, and particularly SHL, the premier league, is claimed to be the most commercially developed Swedish sport in terms of financial turnovers1 and commercial magnetism.

  • Talent Recruitment and Development in Hockey a Multiple-Case Study Involving Four Swedish Ice Hockey Clubs
    Talent recruitment and development in hockey A multiple-case study involving four Swedish ice hockey clubs Elina Hämäläinen 40487 STOCKHOLM SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS December 2015 Master’s Thesis Supervisor: Pernilla Bolander Part of the examination for MSc in Business and Economics Word count: 19969 Specialization in Management Abstract Even though talent management has received more and more attention in the recent years, the research around it is still young and lacking especially in empirical research in different kinds of organizational environments. The aim of this study is to broaden the scope of talent management research by examining how talent is managed, acquired and developed in professional ice hockey organizations in Sweden. In order to do this, an explorative multiple-case study was planned. Four Swedish ice hockey clubs playing in SHL, the highest ice hockey league in Sweden, were included in the study. Altogether 19 people were interviewed in these clubs with the intention of getting an understanding of the talent management practices applied. The results of the study show that variety of talent management activities are undertaken by these organizations and that the clubs themselves exhibit approaches very similar to each other in identifying, selecting and developing talent. Keywords: Talent management, Talent identification, Talent development, Talent management in sports 1 Acknowledgments I would like to extend my gratitude to Djurgården IF Hockey, Färjestad BK, Luleå Hockey and Linköping HC for their participation in the study and for all the warm welcomes received when conducting the interviews. I would also like to thank my supervisor Pernilla Bolander for the invaluable support, help and patience in both organizing the empirical study, and in the process of writing this thesis.

  • Is Financial Health a Determinant of Sport Success?
    Is financial health a determinant of sport success? A study which examines how the financial health of professional ice hockey clubs in Sweden explains the sport success in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). MASTER THESIS WITHIN: Business Administration NUMBER OF CREDITS: 30 ECTS PROGRAMME OF STUDY: Civilekonom AUTHOR: Marcus Hammarström & Albin Malmqvist JÖNKÖPING May 2019 Master Thesis in Business Administration Title: Is financial health a determinant of sport success? Authors: Marcus Hammarström & Albin Malmqvist Tutor: Argyris Argyrou Date: 2019-05-20 Key terms: Benchmarking, Financial benchmarking, Financial health, Ice hockey, Sport success, Grey Relational Analysis, Logistic Regression model. Abstract The purpose of this study is to find the relationship between financial health in an ice hockey club and its sport success. The study answers the research question: How can financial health of Swedish ice hockey clubs be able to explain the sport success in the Swedish Hockey League? Based on the research question, the study uses the theory Benchmarking and a more specific benchmarking terminology called Financial benchmarking. The study selects eight financial variables in order to benchmark the ice hockey clubs in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). A particular methodology within financial benchmarking, called Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), is used in order to determine the financial health of the clubs in relation to each other and therefore be able to rank the clubs based on each individual variable. The same financial variables, with the addition of four non-financial variables and exclusion of two financial variables, are used in a selected Logistic Regression model to explain how the variables contribute to the sport success of the clubs.

  • Folkhemmet På Is Folkhemmet 1920-1972 Identitet I Sverige Stark Tobias
    Folkhemmet på is Folkhemmet re Kronor har kallats ”Sveriges mest folk- kära landslag”. Under ett antal år framstod det svenska herrlandslaget i ishockey rent av som landets största publikmagnet över huvud T taget. Beräkningar av tittarsiffror från VM på hemmaplan 1970 säger att Sveriges matcher då sågs av över två tredjedelar av landets vuxna befolkning med en topp på hela 82 procent vid Tre Kronors dust mot Sovjet i turneringens finalomgång. Detta innebar en rekordnote- ring för alla typer av TV-evenemang som stod sig en bit in på 1980-talet. Sverige stannade, medan ishockeysporten seglade i medvind! På senare tid har ishockeysporten i stort kommit i gungning. Svarta rubriker rörande alltifrån svidande ne- derlag, och urvattnade VM-turneringar, till landslagsmän inblandade i sex- och fylleskandaler har följts av diskus- sioner om Tre Kronors devalvering. Ändå finns det otaliga uppgifter som pekar på att ishockeyn idag står starkare än på länge, ja kanske någonsin. Vad beror detta väldiga is- hockeyintresse på? Hur har det skapats? Vad är det som har gjort att Tre Kronor kunnat samla nästan hela den svenska nationell identitet i Sverige 1920-1972 nationell identitet i Sverige modernisering och på is: Ishockey, Folkhemmet Stark Tobias befolkningen vid sina matcher? I Folkhemmet på is söker Tobias Stark bringa större klarhet i hur ishockeys framskjutande nationella ställning i Sverige har skapats. Mer precist handlar det om att belysa hur det i praktiken gick till när ishockeyn inom loppet av ett drygt halvsekel förvandlades från en oansenlig norda- merikansk importvara till en av landets mest omhuldade idrottsgrenar med ett landslag som lockade till närmast mangrann nationell samling.

    Sports arenas in Sweden: An economic analysis A study investigating the impact of sports arenas on net migration and amenity premiums. MASTER THESIS WITHIN: Economics NUMBER OF CREDITS: 30 credits PROGRAMME OF STUDY: Urban, Regional & International Economics AUTHOR: Andrew Gambina JÖNKÖPING May 2018 Master Thesis in Economics Title: Sports arenas in Sweden: An economic analysis Authors: Andrew Gambina Tutor: Charlotta Mellander Date: 2018 – 05 – 21 Key terms: sports arenas, net migration, amenity premiums, Swedish, municipalities, fixed effects, feasible generalised linear squares Abstract This paper examines the impact of the building or renovation of a sports arena on net migration and amenity premiums. Swedish municipal data is collected for 289 municipalities over the period 1999 to 2016. The econometric analysis makes use of fixed effects (FE) and feasible generalised linear squares (FGLS) estimation techniques. This study builds on the growing literature of the intangible benefits of sports arenas and is one of the few Swedish studies of its kind. The results show that a sports arena built in year t, realises a 3.458% increase in net migration in year t + 5, for those sports arenas being used by football and ice hockey teams in the highest and second highest leagues.

  • “An NHL Touch”: Transnationalizing Ice Hockey in Sweden, 1994–2013
    UC Santa Barbara Journal of Transnational American Studies Title “An NHL Touch”: Transnationalizing Ice Hockey in Sweden, 1994–2013 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/50f358h4 Journal Journal of Transnational American Studies, 7(1) Author Björk, Ulf Jonas Publication Date 2016 DOI 10.5070/T871030642 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California SPECIAL FORUM “An NHL Touch”: Transnationalizing Ice Hockey in Sweden, 1994–2013 ULF JONAS BJÖRK For several years in the mid-2000s, the small-town ice hockey club in Leksand, Sweden, found itself the target of a trademark complaint filed by the National Hockey League club the Dallas Stars. The issue was that the Swedish team had taken to calling itself the Leksand Stars (in English), and Patentbesvärsrätten, the Swedish court charged with ruling on trademark disputes, eventually agreed with the American team that the Swedish name could potentially be associated with the trademark-protected moniker of the NHL.1 That a professional American team would monitor a national league in a small country across the Atlantic for signs of trademark infringement was evidence of the increasingly transnational nature of ice hockey. It was a development visible on both sides of the Atlantic, beginning in the late twentieth century. In North America, the growing number of professional players from Sweden and other European nations in the National Hockey League contributed to making the game and the league less Canadian and American. In Sweden, increased interest in trans-Atlantic hockey produced substantial changes in the way the Swedish national league was marketed.
