i’m stopping by this ‘cute’ city on the way to stockholm for a couple nights. it’s below below freezing during the day and night now so the snow stays. Finally the answer to the question – “Why would you go to [Norway / sweden / Denmark] in the middle of winter for vacation?” – that i tell people if i know i’m not going to be talking for them long will be fulfilled: “i celebrated Christmas in shorts so i’m looking for snow!”
this is a picture from a mini-balcony in the tallest building in Örebro. pretty sweet in my opinion.
another cool aspect though are the city layouts. Cities were built before cars so you can survive without a car in a majority of the greater Oslo – Copenhagen – stockholm area by using trains, buses, trams, and subways. Lots of people bike too!
