Along the green line
A trip along the "green line" at the metro. The green line, stretching from the suburb Hässelby in the north to the suburb Farsta in the south, is 41 kilometer long. During this line you will find a lot of different kinds of areas, representing different eras in the history of Stockholm. They have also different architectonic as well as social character and by visiting them you can learn about the the diversity of Stockholm. We go by metro along the green line and do some stops during the way. Of course we see the city centre. At the stations we also take a look at the paintings that decorates some of the walls. (Above Farsta centrum.)

Swedish habits and traditions
You might have read in books about how Swedes celebrate different holidays and what we like (and do not like so much). It could be ”everybody sings that crazy song about small frogs at midsummer” and ”nobody visits religious services expect for Christmas”. None of this is true. On this tour at the outdoor museum Skansen we discuss Swedish traditions and habits. As we see the old historical houses and the Nordic animals, we explore the true behind the sayings and hear about the Swedish way of life from inside. Tips are served. As even though there is usually nothing ”wrong”, it could be nice to do almost all the others do…

Sweden by music
Why not take a look at the Swedish music? You must of course listen to pop artists such as ABBA and Roxette. And you should listen to classical compositors such as Wilhelm Stenhammar and Hugo Alfvén. But you should not forget the Swedish folk music. It says a lot about our mentality and soul. During this program we go through some of the most well known folk music pieces from different parts of Sweden. We do it with help of the traditional instrument nyckelharpa. We will explain some folk dances and try to sing some easy songs. And hand on hart, do you really know our national hymn...? Don´t worry. We´ll take it as well.
