Mosque of Mohammad Ali

posted by bcarter on 11 August 2010 at 17:23

This mosque is absolutely vast and perches magnificently over the city. It's incredible-especially at sunset. There are Dervish performances for toursits near the mosque which are energetic and fascinating

Norwegian folk museum

posted by pmang on 11 August 2010 at 17:12

The Norwegian folk museum is a lovely boat trip across the fjord of Oslo from the city. It is situated within extensive grounds and is an evocation of the living conditions in Norway since the 16th century. Also on the site is a 13th century church which looks more like a Chinese pagoda than any christian building I'd seen.

Gamla Stan

posted by qlaurenzi on 11 August 2010 at 16:07

Gamla Stan is the old town of Stockholm and is a really beautiful area. The stringent building restrictions mean that the traditional architecture of the area is maintained in tact. It gets very expensive around here with shops geared almost soley towards tourists and restaurants serving bland international fare. Much better to just get lost in the back streets where you can really appreciate the old fashioned ambiance of the place.

Radhuspladsen

posted by xweldy on 11 August 2010 at 15:53

The Radhuspladsen is the town hall square and is the traditional heart of the town. There are several sizable buildings in the square, the palace hotel amongst them and there are quite a few sculptures. The most overwhelming thing about the square though, is the town hall itself which is an enormous building and is architecturally very distinctive- being somewhere between Italian renaissance and gothic. The square is lit up at night with a few neon lights which are very attractive.

Nyhavn

posted by lllora on 11 August 2010 at 15:45

Nyhavn (new port) is a canal area that was built to connect the centre of town with the sea in the 17th century. It is really picturesque with traditional houses painted in a range of colours. There are lots and lots of bars and restaurants here and it is very touristy. Don't let this deter you though, it is still utterly charming.
