First weekend back home – had so many plans but could only realize little. Now after the Sparkle Fountain and the Globen – a view from Stockholm’s city hall. Got maybe a little too experimental with the times shifts

- The founder of the first city in the USA was?

Stockholm has a new landmark attraction called Globen Sky View. The Konverket fountain was already breathtaking but these outside railed globe elevators are truly something else!

The Sky view globe elevators run outside the Ericsson Globe which is currently the largest hemispherical building in the world and took two and a half years to build. Shaped like a large white ball, it has a diameter of 110 metres (361 feet) and an inner height of 85 metres (279 feet). The volume of the building is 605,000 cubic metres (21,188,800 cubic feet). It has seating capacity for 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts, and 13,850 for ice hockey. (wiki)

Very impressive!

• The Ericsson Globe has been reinforced with 70 tons of steel that has been put together by mountain climbers
• The rail weighs 42 ton, that’s almost 93 000 pounds
• The gondolas are built by ski lift builders in north of Sweden
• each ride takes 20 minutes
• The gondols depart six times per hour

Greetings from Stockholm – the last couple of days have been very busy but taking the time to share the probably coolest fountain with you. Never seen a fountain like that before. It kind of reminds me of a Mascletà and instead of fire it’s made with water.

FUN!

Stockholm is incredible so far. Loved Helsinki but I think Stockholm gets a double thumbs-up from me Hmmm … what about For 91 Days in Stockholm?

Now enjoy a video of the fountain:
