Kungsgatan


An even busier city centre street is Kungsgatan.

Bridges, strewn with flags and banners, cross from the upper storeys of department stores.

Peace Angel



A little later, I venture out on my own.

First I walk down to the end of Langelinje Pier. It has a few eating places, an information kiosk and bus shelter but is fairly uninspiring. I take the elevated road back. This goes over the top of the rows of shops and comes out near the Peace Angel.

This statue, overlooking a small yacht basin, is, if I recall correctly what our guide told us earlier, a memorial to the Second World War. Around it are the flags of the Scandinavian countries.
