Notes on Visit:
|
With no car, this was a bit of a trek from the city
centre and so certainly not a place to get a good
birdseye view of it (the best option for this I found
was to climb the steps of the City Hall). Away from the
city, there is a great view to the east of the Stockholm
archipelago, the second-largest archipelago in the
Baltic Sea. If you like trees, then there are lots of
them to see from the observation deck. If you don't like
trees, Sweden was probably a bad choice of destination
in the first place. I do indeed suspect the website for
Kaknästornet is somewhat misleading as the photos appear
to be taken some distance from the tower with a high
zoom, to give the effect of it appearing closer to the
city centre as one might find once there. Anyway, I have
little of interest to say about the Kaknästornet. Not in
my opinion as good as the the ABBA exhibition closer to
town.
