Skyview At Globen

SkyView
I did it! I'm non the best soul when it comes to heights too enclosed spaces, therefore I've been a fiddling leery nearly trying i of Stockholm's newest attractions... SkyView. Fortunately, I was given the chance during an educational seminar led yesteryear the Stockholm Visitors Board final week. SkyView is a especially designed drinking glass gondola that takes you lot 130 meters upwards to the top of the Ericsson Globe Arena.
Going up...
Called Globen for curt (the globe), it is the largest indoor arena inwards Stockholm alongside a capacity of upwards to 16,000 people too is the venue for most large concerts (Lady Gaga, Paul Simon, Tom Petty this summer) too indoor sporting events (ice hockey globe championships this May) inwards Stockholm. The edifice itself is quite odd & spectacular. Shaped similar a large white ball (some country it looks similar a golf game ball), it is the largest spherical edifice inwards the globe too a famous business office of the Stockholm skyline.
and up...
SkyView is a funicular railway on the outside of the edifice alongside ii gondolas that accept upwards to xvi passengers at a fourth dimension to the top of the arena. At the top of Globen, visitors stimulate got an unobstructed 360 marking persuasion of the southern business office of Stockholm. Each ride takes twenty minutes too the gondolas depart half dozen times an hour. Tickets toll 130 SEK (100 for children too seniors) too includes a x infinitesimal data video nearly Globen too SkyView). Tickets tin flaming travel purchased in that location or on their website. At the base of operations you lot stimulate got a squeamish café too gift store (great Swedish H2O ice hockey souvenirs). To travel honest, spell it is an amazing view... it is non an amazing persuasion of Stockholm city. Globen is located S of the key business office of the city, therefore the persuasion is mainly of the southern suburbs. I definitely recommend SkyView for the sense itself. It's non every solar daytime you lot ride inwards a drinking glass ball on the exterior of a giant white globe! But if it is views of downtown Stockholm that you lot are interested in, therefore I recommend Kaknästornet, Monteliusvägen, Fjällgatan, Gondolen or Skrapan. Click here for my tips regarding this. To instruct to Globen/SkyView from the Rival Hotel, accept the underground (green line) from Slussen south, inwards the administration Hagsätra, for iv stations.
