MY DAYS IN SWEDEN
One of my favourite countries
I've always loved the Scandinavian culture, and especially Sweden. I've always loved all about this country (music, literature, movies, football...).
In 2011 I decided to go there to visit one friend who I met in Valencia, who was studying there... I went to Västerås from Alicante with Ryanair. Flight at 15:30.
I was there for a week and I was able to visit Stockholm, one of the most beautiful European cities that I recommend to everyone. But I stayed in Västerås, a small city compared to Stockholm and Goteborg, but nice.
Västerås has preserved a selection of older buildings, both by the creek and around (and north of) the city's small Cathedral. They all give the town a bit of a small town atmosphere. Unfortunately hundreds of old houses were demolished, roughly between 1950 and 1975, during one of the country's most thorough city modernization projects. There are however several modern buildings of some architectural interest. The downtown area is generally considered to have an "urban" feel, especially around Stora Gatan, mainly because of the skyscraper (cordially nicknamed "Skrapan") with surrounding business, commerce and residential buildings.
I hope going back sometime...BECAUSE I LOVE SWEDEN!!! I enjoyed the surrounding nature, the environment clean and pure, the culture, the good citizenship, etc. I visited the University of Västerås, I met new people and I had fun visiting the Vallby Open Air Museum, one of Sweden’s largest with around 40 buildings from the county of Västmanland.
