When we arrived in downtown Stockholm and got settled in to our hotel, we took to the streets for a late afternoon walk. The first site was a magnificent, modern bus station across the street from the main train station. We viewed the Royal Palace across the water and were cut off from returning to our hotel by the largest Gay Pride parade we've ever seen. Lasted over three hours and was miles long. Finally found a street to get around the route. The Royal Palace is really quite amazing. You can learn about it here.
