Not far from Strasbourg is the ridiculously small Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden airport, however quite renowned for Ryanair: cheap tickets for broke students. 3 of that sort, including me, went to Stockholm that way in February 2010 for some amazing four days.
I have a soft spot for Nordic countries and Sweden means to me childhood memories of Astrid Lindgren books, red wooden houses and amazing baked things. Going there in this year's rough winter meant cold feet, a constant need of coffee and nights not spent out clubbing but trying to get warmer at the hostel. But eating baked things was included, as the cold made us crave for comfort food.
We visited the historic center, a beautiful place with many small houses and tiny paths between them, shops with curiosities and cafés in which we warmed up again. The red wooden house is from Skansen, the open air museum on another island, showing historic houses from every corner of Sweden which they rebuilt there. I would love to come back in the summer to see everything in green. The historic center being an island among others, we walked a lot around on the shores and within the various districts. Other main sights were the Nordiska museet, a museum on Nordic history and art with many temporary art projects.
