Venice of the North (1936) - Remastered 4K 60fps

A travel documentary produced by the Van Beuren Corporation in 1936 as part of the World on Parade series.
Our guide comes to Stockholm via the sea on a foggy morning. In a poetic way he present the city while we visit many familiar sites. The canal, a view over the city, Kungsgatan and the city hall. After that we visit the old town and the Gröna Lund amusement park. Many of these locations looks very much like it does today, so it still serves a purpose for the curious tourist.

Tysand tack for having posted this wonderful document which shows us how truly lovely Stockholm still was in the 1930's . I've been there several times myself, and it looks nothing like that anymore ... too much of what we behold here is gone for ever ... ❤ "Oh, det var sjön när mitt Stockolm var sa° grön", ❤
