"The Skyview"

After all of my travels my feet needed a rest from walking (those cobblestones are murder!) so nothing of note happened on Wednesday, hence today's post is about something that we did last week.

This is "the skyview" - a ride in a glass gondola up the outside of the largest spherical building in the world. 

The building itself is "the globe" - a massive arena that hosts some of Stockholm's biggest concerts and events. The building is so important that the train station and adjacent shopping centre are name after it (Globen).

The ride takes you up the curve of the building right to the top which is 130m above ground level. You get to stop here for a bit and look around at the horizon.

It's a nice little ride that takes about 20 minutes. It's next to a sports stadium where there was a soccer game on the night we went - you could hear the fans quite clearly up where we were!
