We spent Xmas Day in Stockholm, Sweden. It is the coldest place that we have ever been too, and didn't stop snowing. It also has very limited hours of daylight between 9 and 3 during winter. However, it was still a beautiful city.
The Royal Church
The Royal Palace in the Old Town - until recently, this was the largest lived in royal palace in the world with over 600 rooms...then they moved out.
View looking down from the palace.
This is in Gamla Stan, the old town, with tight narrow strees. The warning sign (which were on nearly every street) was to warn off the risk of snow and icicles falling falling from the rooftops above - we saw one man get hit by falling snow. The drainpipes on the buildings were all frozen as well.
This is the smallest street in Stockholm, its less then a metre wide. Bit scary to walk down given there was large amounts of snow above ready to fall on your head.
This is the town hall, described in the 1920's as a beautiful building reminiscent of Italian renaissance architecture. Just looked like a brick building to us.
