Eric Fornell, vice chairman of investment banking at Wells Fargo Securities in New York City, enjoys spending time with family and traveling abroad. In the past, Eric Fornell has visited Sweden and enjoyed the exciting and immersive attractions the capital city of Stockholm has to offer.
1. The Vasa Museum. There are not many opportunities to see a fully intact 17th century warship in its original glory, but the Vasa Museum offers a prime example. After 333 years, the massive structure was recovered and pieced back together, making this museum one of the most popular in Europe.
2. Gamla Stan. This medieval center of the city is where Stockholm was founded in 1282. Looking like something from a fairy tale when covered in snow, it is the perfect place to stroll through a piece of history.
3. The Absolut Icebar. Located in the Nordic Sea Hotel, this bar stays at a chilly negative 5 degrees Celsius all year. Grab a drink in a glass made of ice, and you just might warm up to one of the most unique bar experiences in the world.
4. The Royal Palace. Home of the King of Sweden and one of the most expansive palaces in Europe, the Royal Palace offers a tour of the armory, coaches from the stables, and a daily changing of the guard. It is possible to spend a whole day exploring this memorable structure.
