Attractions
Drottningholm Palace is the summer palace of the royal family located out on one of the islands of the archipeligo which forms Stockholm. Although a very popular tourist attraction it is difficult to reach in a wheelchair and is not at all accessible.

Food
Fika is a Swedish traditional which has a basic meaning of "have a coffee". Generally it is stoping to have a coffee and a pastry, though the modern interpretations allow for tea, soft drinks, sandwiches and other snacks. Pastries in Sweden are referred to as fikabröd (fika bread) of which the most popular is the kanelbulle (cinnamon bun) which is celebrated on kanelbullens dag (Cinnamon Roll Day), 4 October. Skansen also has a number of places to eat including a tavern which does a nice plate of meatballs.
