Magnificent City Produced by 4b Johaness skola
Acknowledgement This book is written by grade 4b of Johannes skola. These are students of a bilingual class. This book issues facts about why the students feel that Stockholm is magnificent city and one of the best cities in the world. The students have been inspired to do this after a previous cook book they did that was of a different genre. The choices that the students made have emanated from a reflection of their areas of personal interest and passion. The childrens`insatiable drive and enthusiasm in producing this book is a remarkable effort given the span of time that was available for putting it together.

Gröna Lund Gröna Lund's roots are in the 1880s, making it Sweden's oldest amusement park. In 1883, a German by the name of Jacob Schultheiss rented the area to erect "carousels and other amusements", and until 2001 descendants of Schultheiss ran Gröna Lund. Before the amusement park came into being, Gröna Lund was the name of a small park and later of a restaurant. Gröna Lund features most attractions common to amusement parks, such as the tunnel of love, a funhouse, as well as seven roller coasters. Gröna Lund is also known for its rock and pop music concerts; the capacity record is held by Bob Marley who attracted 32,000 people in 1980 which had been his third performance at the venue, already having played in 1977 and 1978. This record is unbeatable since new regulations prevent such large audiences at Gröna Lund. American rapper Nas performed here with almost 22,000 people in 2010.
