It takes about 65,438+00 hours to fly from Beijing to Stockholm, Sweden and transfer at Copenhagen. Don't worry, even if your English is not good, we find that the Chinese signs here are very clear. You can enter the country and transfer.
This was taken at a vending machine at Copenhagen airport in Denmark. A bottle of coke is 20 kronor, which is about RMB 24 yuan. It seems that prices in Europe are really not cheap. By the way, several Nordic countries such as Denmark and Sweden are not members of the euro zone. In the referendum held in Sweden in 2003, most citizens opposed joining the euro zone. So in Sweden, people use krones. Although many tour guides say that euros can also be used, from the actual observation, almost no one uses euros, and the price tag of shops also uses krona.
Fortunately, the exchange rate between the Swedish krona and RMB is almost 1: 1, so you don't have to calculate it silently in your mind when you consume. The price you see is equivalent to the selling price of RMB. When we arrived in Stockholm, it was already 10: 30 in the evening. We got off the plane and rushed to the city to find a restaurant and had a comfortable meal. This is an ordinary fast food restaurant. It is said that the owner is Kuwaiti. A plate of fried rice with beef and vegetables, 59 yuan, feels a little expensive, but it's really a big plate. I didn't eat it all anyway.
This is the hotel we stayed in during our stay in Stockholm, named Scandic. Later, when we went out to visit, we often saw hotels with the same name, only to know that they are large chain hotels in Sweden, and the brand is definitely not cheap. An average room1.One night in 600 yuan is enough for a five-star hotel in China.
This is the interior of the guest room. Although small, it is neat and comfortable. The hardness of the bed is moderate, the ground is wooden floor, and the window is a square. The scenery is pleasant. Hotel waiters are all handsome men with shiny hair, but they only serve at the front desk. The elevator to the guest room can only be opened by guests with room cards. Is it troublesome?
I was surprised to find Chinese on the wall of the guest room. I don't know if it's specially arranged for us three China guests, haha.
Taxis in Sweden are all good cars, and the public is average. Volvo and Mercedes-Benz taxis can be seen everywhere at the same price. See the 520 on the back window? This is not the unit price. According to local friends, it is a uniform price for taking a taxi from downtown to the airport. 520 yuan, though a little expensive, seems acceptable compared with 149 yuan/person when we got off the plane and took the bus. But it turned out that we had made a big mistake.
This is our treasure bag in Sweden. The most important thing is the key-shaped card on the left and the blue photo on it and the white magnetic card on the bottom. These are all necessary for tourists. The former can enter almost all museums and tourist attractions in Stockholm, including the city hall, the palace and the famous Vasa shipwreck museum. The latter can take the bus, subway and light rail for unlimited times, which is your baby. 1 bus ticket 100 yuan, 3 days bus ticket to 200 yuan. You should know that it takes 15 yuan to buy a ticket and take the subway once, so buying a card is very cost-effective.
Swedish buses do not sell tickets. According to local friends, it is because drivers were robbed before, so if you take the bus now, you have to buy tickets at the ticket vending machine at the station. You can also swipe your credit card here.
Moving on to the price, what is the most famous tourist souvenir in Sweden? It is this small wooden horse that is said to be a symbol of wealth and happiness. Authentic Trojans are hand-carved and carefully drawn, so they are all unique. Of course, the price is high. I want to bring one back, but have you seen the price? The lower row of Trojans with a height of about 10cm is 305 yuan/piece, and the slightly larger black Trojans are 1.305 yuan/piece.
Stockholm has a small population, so whether it is bus, subway or light rail, it is basically free. And the subway is open until 2 o'clock in the morning, and many buses operate 24 hours a day. The people here are very kind and the crime rate is very low. The above-mentioned incidents of robbing drivers have not happened for many years. We often go shopping until midnight without any trouble. There are few tramps on the street.
The biggest problem when going out may be that you can't get used to it, but will you worry that China's stomach can't stand it when you see such delicious food? I have never been greedy for Chinese food in Sweden anyway. The food here is very fresh. Although the price is high, it is worth the money. You don't have to worry about eating the substances found in the chemistry lab on your plate.
This is the price of vegetables bought in a Swedish supermarket. The prices of fruits and vegetables in China have risen sharply recently. What about the Nordic countries? The price tags are all in kilograms, and you will know after calculation: tomato 15 yuan/kg, cucumber 20 yuan/kg, persimmon pepper 20 yuan/kg, cauliflower 13 yuan/kg, and various leafy vegetables 8 yuan/kg. Compared with other products, is it reasonable? You should know that the Swedish krona and RMB are basically equivalent, but Swedes earn more. Because income is private, we didn't ask much. We only know that the salary of local university graduates in the first year is about 20 thousand kronor/month. Although the tax is about 5,000 yuan, the disposable income is still relatively high, almost equivalent to 10 times that of domestic graduates.
China has "garlic you are malicious", and the price of garlic in Sweden is also very firm. How about 40 yuan/Jin? Not cheap. My buddy and I calculated that the local price is about four times that of China. Even so, the price of garlic is not cheap. I'm afraid it's hard for tourists to measure prices with the mentality of local people, because no matter how much money local people earn, tourists still spend RMB. Compared with garlic, many other products are not much higher than domestic ones. For example, the bare-metal iPhone 4 of 16G costs 5999 yuan, which is only a little more expensive than that in China. 2L ice cream in the supermarket is only 10 yuan. There is also a pair of 149 yuan 5-seat car seat covers, which are almost or even cheaper than those in China. In contrast, is the price of garlic a bit "outrageous"?
There are crystal vessels for royalty in this cabinet, a 460 yuan goblet and a 1 190 yuan water bottle, which I think most people can't afford.
Having said so much about prices, there is one price that cannot be ignored, that is, house price ~ local house price has become one of the three major problems of China tourists, and of course it cannot be exempted from customs. Although everything is expensive in Sweden, and the price of any commodity is 4-6 times that of China, the house price is similar to that of China. Look at the house above. It was shot in a small town called Sigtuna in northern Sweden. The house price of 43 square meters is 1.57 million, and the monthly rent is 204 1 yuan. It is close to the airport and has beautiful scenery. There is also a five-star hotel in the town, which is one of the few in Sweden. The town is about half an hour's drive from Stockholm, and there is no charge for taking the expressway. This price should also include decoration, which is more fair.
Not interested in houses in small towns? Then let's take a look at downtown Stockholm. The picture is a little small after compression. Let me explain something to you. The yellow house in the upper left corner is * * * 3 10 m2, of which the room area is 12 1 m2. Built in 197 1 year and 1984, including the atrium garden, it has permanent property rights. * * * There are five rooms with big fireplaces, three or four. 2.59 million. This should be a villa.
There is a round table under the yellow house, which is a 60-square-meter apartment with two rooms and two balconies. 1980 room, the price is 995,000, and the monthly rent is 2,439 yuan. The average price per square meter of this house is only 16666 yuan/square meter. Houses in Sweden are all usable areas. If the construction area is calculated in China, the average price will be cheaper.
The address of the house will not be written in the middle price of the house in Sweden, but the location I took was the commercial street in the center of the city, 500 meters away from Sluseen, the big station where three subways meet, which is equivalent to Dongdan in Beijing. I believe the location of the house will not be too far away.
This is the night view of Stockholm. Stockholm is located in 14 islands and a peninsula, so it enjoys the reputation of "Venice in the North". Fortunately, we live not far from the seaside, and we can often come out to enjoy this beautiful city at night. Do you remember the steak dinner we had on it? 666 yuan for three dishes is also a lucky number.
After five unforgettable days and four nights, we reluctantly left Sweden and returned to Beijing. This is my first time in a big plane with four engines. SAS aircraft may be designed for Europeans, and the seat spacing is relatively large. My height 180+ I can't kick in economy class. It is not difficult to spend 10 hours. The price of air tickets to Sweden varies greatly. When we go back and forth, there is only one day's difference in air tickets, that is, the difference between 13000 and less than 3000, so we can find a discount opportunity if we are not in a hurry.
Finally, back to the taxi, 520 at the back of the car refers to the price from downtown to the airport. Later, when we came back from Stockholm, we had to take a taxi to the airport in a hurry because we remembered the wrong time. The taxi meter in Stockholm jumps very fast, almost once every second. Just out of the city, I jumped to more than 200 yuan. On the way, it jumped to 500 yuan. The three of us panicked and asked the driver what the price would be. The driver said, sure, press the meter. I was sweating like a pig at that time, but it was useless to say anything about catching a plane. Run. Arriving at the airport, only 25 minutes before take-off, the meter jumps to 1 100 yuan. I didn't have time to waste my breath, so I paid by credit card and ran to the airport. Luckily, I didn't miss the plane. Ask an expert when you come back. People say that 520 yuan may really be the price to the airport, but you must make a reservation in advance. Temporary taxis are all metered. Friends who go to Stockholm again, remember our lessons.
