on a sunny day back in june, when the air was warmer, i ventured a little north in the city into vasastan to find one of the world's beautiful libraries. stockholms stadbibiotek - stockholm's public library - has a gorgeous dome central reading room. take one of the two winding stairs up to the circular balcony to browse, sit with a book down below, or scout out the english section. all the while marvelling at such a beautiful place. it was created in the swedish grace style by the architect gunnar asplund.
stockholms stadbibiotek sits next to a leafy park with a view of the neighbourhood and apparently the cafe up on the hill serves the best waffles... i think i will have to return with my boys ;)
how i love wandering the streets finding treasures in stockholm.
