Peter Greenberg Worldwide – Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden – September 15, 2018

Locations in this article:  Stockholm, Sweden

This week Peter Greenberg Worldwide travels to the legendary Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden. Writer Doug Lansky joins the program with a report on the critical situation of overtourism in some of the world’s most popular cities and what some destinations are doing–or not doing–about it. Then we’ll talk about one of Peter’s favorite museums in the world–the Vasa, and the remarkable story of the sinking–and the raising–nearly 400 years later, of an intact warship right in the Stockholm harbor. Olov Amelin, Director at the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, demystifies the Nobel Prize’s nomination process and also dispels some common misconceptions about the prize. Then, Michelin star chef Niklas Ekstedt speaks about the traditional and surprisingly analog methods behind his kitchen at Ekstedt: no electricity, no gas, just wood. There’s all this and more as Peter Greenberg Worldwide comes from the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden.
