We love your videos! We have decided to stay there for a month next summer because of this one. We always appreciate your great information and sense of humor!
Oh wow, that's so nice to hear! Thank you, and I really hope that you're going to enjoy Sweden :D Let's hope for good weather next year! It's always a gamble, if you get 28 degrees and sun...or 16 degrees and rain...
I'm happy I saw your video today. I never heard about Sigtuna before. I wonder if Sweden puts on fresh red paint on those runestones? It's impressive that the color is still visible. I really enjoy history about Sweden. Another great video you have presented. Thanks from North Carolina, U.S.A.
Thank you so much! And I'm sorry to say, but the paint is indeed painted on in modern times. They're basing the choice of paint on traces of old paint though, to make it authentic.
Great town to visit to see an old place, you can spend a good few hours there. Be sure to walk around and see the ruins and lake/surrounds. Really liked it.
Looks so relaxing and also much history! I just moved to Vallsta outside of Bollnas. I am an American but Sweden is my home now. I have enjoyed learning of Sweden and its towns and history so Sigtuna is on my list to visit! After seeing the Gs 13 Runestone in Gavle 2 weekends ago I know I have to see the ones in Sigtuna!
Hope you enjoy it up there in Vallsta! I'm actually planning on checking out Gävle a bit more soon as well - mostly just passed by it so far. Sigtuna is really amazing to see, and if you go there by car make sure to check out Vallentuna as well. You can google "Runriket" to see a list of many more runestones in that area :)
@@ThreeStarVagabond Thanks! I will have to check out Vallentuna also when I get down to Stockholm area. Next runestone on my list to check out is Hs6 in Jarvso when I get the chance to do so! Really enjoy your videos as they help me learn about Sweden in a concise way. If you ever make it up to this area let me know maybe we can meet up for fika!
@@sverigeismyhjarta7830 Nice! I like the area around Järvsö (and I like the weird little zoo they have as well at JärvZoo). And thank you so much! :) Well, if you have nothing planned for July 10 or 11, that's when I was thinking of a short trip up there. A fika would be fun!
@@ThreeStarVagabond I have not been to Jarvso yet, so yes I was planning on a trip to see things up there. Jarvso is very close to Vallsta so I think July 10 or 11th would be doable. Hmm add me on facebook Felicia Oni Steemer and we can plan to say hello!
Aw, I would love to visit!!!! Sigh..it’ll be awhile before I can! At least I can see how beautiful this is through your videos!! Thank you! :) Keep the videos coming!!! The candy store is so cute and pretty! I love the narrative too, interesting information to go with the beautiful footage!
Thank you so much! :D I loved the place, and I really like reading up on the history of different places before I visit. The candy store really was one of the highlights, lol! :)
Sigtuna is beautiful little town remote to north of Stockholm also close to airport right?❤ I feel pity for those who claim that Sweden dont have any history & nothing to see here
@@ThreeStarVagabond yeah it’s all good, it’s a nice place to go to if you maybe just wanna check out some historical things. I suggest going on either a hot and warm or fall day, especially if you wanna look at even more Vendel things like Valsgärde.
@@langskeppet9887 Oh yeah! I haven't been up there yet actually. I think it'll be a perfect day trip - maybe combine it with a picnic. I've been thinking about checking out the graves but never got around to it.

Tack! So glad you dropped by Tant Brun. It is very cozy in there in the winter. One of my favorite places.
It really is nice! I love the decor and the old house :D

It's really small and cozy, isn't it? I'm planning on going there for a Christmas market this year - I think that's going to be really fun
This summer want to visit it, when I go to Sweden. I love your nation
I hope you'll get to visit and that you'll have a great time then :D

Interesting video my friend! I love hearing about the history and seeing historical buildings, great work! Have a nice day my friend 👍😊💖
Thank you so much! :D Really happy to hear that. Have a great day you too!
Love Sweden ! My best friend is there during Sigtuna Market festivals
Really? That's so cool - I've actually just been to the Christmas market once, but it's really amazing with all the stalls
This town remind me another beautiful little town called Jakriborg near LUND south of Sweden skane country! I wish if you film 🎥 their . May be❤
Oh wow that sounds interesting - I've never been there but I'd love to explore small places like that :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond sure !
Very nice! Love the old history. This is very interesting to me. Nice ruins. Thanks for sharing!
Really happy you enjoyed it! Thank you so much - it was a great place to explore as well :D
Great find. Such a beautiful area

@@LifewithMiu Couldn't agree more :D Cheers!
Nice and interesting video. Great job 👍
Really happy to hear that! Thank you so much :D
Great video. Sigtuna is such a beautiful little town.
Thanks! :D And yeah, it really is... I had just been there for the Christmas market before this, and there was lots more to see.
@@ThreeStarVagabond we drove by it every week when I was in the army. Definitely worth defending.
@@Maydeus I think TH-cam censored my response... Probably because I promoted hate speech against Skåne :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond ooops.
I want to go there now, definitely 🤩
It's really nice, and just an hour from Stockholm! There's no excuse not to go there actually, when in town :D
🌷 Hi my friend!
this awesome video.
Perfect upload, super like 👍👍👍
All the best!
Stay Connected
Thank you so much for those kind words! :D Much appreciated, and have a great day!
beautiful town.
Thanks! :D It really was a nice place to visit!
Sigtuna is beautiful little town remote to north of Stockholm also close to airport right?❤
I feel pity for those who claim that Sweden dont have any history & nothing to see here
Yeah it's relatively close - but it's a bit to the west and a bit off in general. But worth a detour for! ^_^
Actually you can almost call Vendel older then Sigtuna. It doesn’t look like it did during the Vendel age at all, but you should check it out. :)
Oh nice! Thanks for the hint - something to add to my ever-growing todo list :D
@@ThreeStarVagabond there is a small little Museum there, maybe isn’t that interesting tho it shows some cool facts of Swedens pre-Viking history.
@@langskeppet9887 Nice! Well, maybe I won't record anything there but it sounds like a great place to visit just for personal interest :)
@@ThreeStarVagabond yeah it’s all good, it’s a nice place to go to if you maybe just wanna check out some historical things. I suggest going on either a hot and warm or fall day, especially if you wanna look at even more Vendel things like Valsgärde.

Wait a minute...I live there
Haha! And what a great place you live in, in that case :D
Samma här
Fantastic lesson about this great historic town!... I wonder how many people can trace their DNA back to that town?. Somehow could i be part Viking?
All of the UK is part Viking! Vikings spread their DNA quite well over there... But I would imagine that there's a fair share of inbred townspeople around there, who could trace their lineage back quite a bit.
@@ThreeStarVagabond Cool… So I’m probably a bit Viking, a bit Roman and a bit of strange mud collecting peasant.
@@DanOnPlanetEarth "There's some lovely filth down here Dennis", to stick with Terry Jones. Well, I'm half Finnish and half Yugoslavian, so I guess there's no Viking DNA at all in me really... But I typically say that I'm half Finnish, half Yugoslavian and half Swedish

Well, he also had "I Like Chinese". It's good that his humour wasn't inhibited by such cumbersome concepts as taste :D
Heey can we explore town on foot?
Yeah absolutely, it's a small town. And you could even go there by public transport.
