  • Stunning church. A must in Stockholm- top object is St George fighting the dragon sculpture. Very unique, medieval masterpiece. Church also contains an image of Stockholm from XV century.
  • A must see when you visit Stockholm! The cathedral is beautiful and you can find many important pieces of religious art. One of the most important one here is Saint George fighting a dragon!
  • Stunning church with leaflets in lots of languages. The famous St George statue does not disappoint! Definitely worth a visit.
  • Had the opportunity to attend the Lucia concert as well. Two birds with one stone! There are still renovations being done outside but the inside is okay, I think. Keep on wearing your jackets inside if it's like -6. You'll get cold.
  • There was a new year’s concert and I was able to get a ticket on the day. Inspirational.
