May 4, 2025 3:58 PM EDT<a href="https://www.mensjournal.com/entertainment/holly-madison-new-video-clips">Holly Madison</a> rose to fame as Hugh Hefner&#x2019;s girlfriend&#x2014;well, one of them&#x2014;on the E! reality series The Girls Next Door, which ran for six seasons beginning in 2005. Now she&#x2019;s pulling back the curtain on the reality of her relationship with the&#xA0;<a href="https://www.mensjournal.com/health-fitness/the-new-old-playboy">Playboy</a> publisher
and it&#x2019;s not all movie nights and theme parties
In an exclusive video interview with the&#xA0;<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/02/entertainment/holly-madison-slams-ex-hugh-hefner-as-a-master-manipulator-i-didnt-know-him/" rel="noopener" onclick="return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);" target="_blank">New York Post</a>
Madison is telling a much darker story about the notorious ladies man
&#x201C;I just didn&#x2019;t know him well,&#x201D; Madison admitted
despite having dated him for seven years between 2001 and 2008
&#x201C;I had this mindset of being in love,&#x201D; she added
&#x201C;and it was kind of tinged with a little bit of Stockholm syndrome.&#x201D;
when really I was just somebody who had trouble connecting with people my whole life,&#x201D; Madison
&#x201C;And I&#x2019;d met somebody who was like a master manipulator.&#x201D;
Unlike most romantic relationships, Madison has the ability to go back and look at it from the outside&#x2014;not just from the hundreds of paparazzi photos that exist from their courtship, but from the five years she spent filming a TV show alongside Hef&#x2019;s other main squeezes, Bridget Marquardt and&#xA0;<a href="https://www.mensjournal.com/news/playboy-kendra-wilkinson-claps-back-trolls">Kendra Wilkinson</a>
Madison was 26 years old while Hefner was 79
&#x201C;I look back and I just see somebody who was young and impressionable and just kind of in a fog almost,&#x201D; Madison told the Post
In 2022, Marquardt&#x2014;Madison&#x2019;s The Girls Next Door co-star&#x2014;<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/bridget-marquardt-wasnt-read-sleep-hugh-hefner-pressure-podcast-1734477" rel="noopener" onclick="return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);" target="_blank">spoke out</a> about how she felt &#x201C;pressure&#x201D; to sleep with the Playboy founder
&#x201C;I was thinking I could get out of this a little while,&#x201D; she said of being intimate with Hef
I&#x2019;m not going to do anything I don&#x2019;t want to do.&#x2019;&#x201D; Though she added that
&#x201C;It&#x2019;s not like I never would have done that with him
but I wasn&#x2019;t ready in the moment.&#x201D; 
When Madison, who in 2023 shared that she had been diagnosed with high-functioning autism, was pressed on the &#x201C;fog&#x201D; she described and whether it could be related to her autism, she said no. 
&#x201C;I think the fog was more just having such a warped mindset,&#x201D; she noted, describing it as &#x201C;Cognitive dissonance. Thinking I&#x2019;m in love with somebody, and realizing I got in way over my head and made a bad decision&#x2014;but always trying to justify that. Or trying to say, &#x2018;Okay, well, I&#x2019;m here [at the Playboy Mansion], and it&#x2019;s affected this part of my life. It&#x2019;s affected my reputation. How do I make it okay?&#x2019;&#x201D;
While Madison still seems to be processing her relationship with Hef, she is still very much associated with the Playboy brand. She currently hosts a true crime series for ID called The Playboy Murders, which looks back at various crimes with links to Hefner and those in the Playboy orbit. The Playboy Murders&#x2019; third season kicks off on Monday at 9 p.m.

Following goals from <a href="/en/teams/profile/jadon-sancho">Jadon Sancho</a> and <a href="/en/teams/profile/noni-madueke">Noni Madueke</a> during the opening period
Nico came off the bench to score twice in a dazzling second-half display
helping us take a giant step towards our first European final since 2021
the forward praised the team’s mentality and felt the Blues were extremely composed considering the lively home support
‘I’m very happy we won and now we’re one step closer to the final,’ Jackson reflected
‘They were good goals and confident finishes
but the most important thing is that we won
Especially when you come to a pitch and a stadium like this which you’re not used to playing
attacked very good and defended very good.’
Jackson revealed that he had studied the Djurgarden goalkeeper’s positioning before coming on
which helped inspire his impressive effort to double his tally
‘[For my first] I knew they were in two minds so I just ran
tried to put my leg and the ball came to me,’ he said
I saw the goalkeeper from the bench and he was always out
Jackson has now shifted his attention to Liverpool
where we will face the recently-crowned Premier League champions on Sunday at the Bridge
‘We will prepare like always – recover good and listen to the coach,’ Jackson added
‘It’s about moving to the next one on Sunday against Liverpool and then we will see after that
We’ll just fight for more and try to win the next one.’
Community player ratings from Chelsea’s easy win in the UEFA Conference League semifinal
The third Man of the Match for the season from Nico
 He of course missed several weeks with an injury
but he’s coming out of his scoring drought just at the right time
 He’s always had a reputation for being a streaky scorer — though he’s reached double figures both overall and in the league for three straight seasons — so hopefully he keeps up his current form in the last few weeks of the season
Madueke is into those for the first time in his career as well: this was his 11th goal in all competitions in fact
he remains the most likely to do something game-changing
hopefully he can make a telling contribution or seven in the remaining games
Having recently made his 100th Chelsea appearance in a little under 2.5 seasons
He picked up two assists in 45 minutes of work in this one

Chelsea took a big step toward advancing to the UEFA Conference League final by beating Swedish club Djurg&aring;rden 4-1 in the first leg of their semifinal on Thursday

Stockholm: Chelsea strolled to a comfortable 4-1 win at Djurgarden in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League semi-final on Thursday to all but book their spot in the final
Spain´s Real Betis take a 2-1 lead into the return fixture against two-time runners-up Fiorentina
First-half goals from Jadon Sancho and Noni Madueke put Chelsea in control in Sweden
before Nicolas Jackson grabbed a brace midway through the second period
an important semi-final,” Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca told TNT Sports
but we have the experience from the Legia Warsaw game
where we won 3-0 there and we struggled a little bit (Chelsea´s only loss in the tournament came at home in the return fixture)
so we need to be focused on the second leg.”
Maresca´s side have one foot in the final of the Conference League in their debut campaign in the third-tier European competition
Lifting the trophy in the Polish city of Wroclaw on May 28 would add another continental title to the London club´s haul of two Champions Leagues
a pair of Europa Leagues and two UEFA Cup Winners´ Cups
don´t quite boast the same European pedigree
and in making the last four became the first Swedish side to play a semi-final in Europe since 1986/87
To further add to Djurgarden´s underdog status
coach Jani Honkavaara only had 14 senior players fit to call upon for the visit of the Premier League giants
Chelsea took the lead via Sancho on 12 minutes as the winger collected a lofted pass in the box and slotted the ball past the goalkeeper before the retreating Marcus Danielson sliced his attempted clearance against his own arm and into the goal
who slowly got more accustomed to the artificial surface in Stockholm and began to dominate Djurgarden
Madueke made that dominance pay two minutes prior to half-time when he opened up his body to feint a cross-goal shot with his left foot
before sweeping a first-time finish inside the near post
Djurgarden nearly caught Chelsea with a sucker-punch
only for the English club´s Swedish-born ´keeper Filip Jorgensen to readjust brilliantly and tip Tokmac Nguen´s deflected strike behind for a corner
Jackson put Chelsea three goals to the good one minute before the hour as he tapped in from close range following a defensive mix-up
The Senegalese striker doubled up six minutes later
unleashing a fizzing shot with his left foot from the edge of the box
Teenager Isak Alemayehu Mulugeta snatched a consolation for Djurgarden in the 68th minute with a powerful downward header for his first senior goal
It is one step forward and we hope to reach the final,” said Jackson
Betis had a dream start when Abde Ezzalzouli smashed the ball in off the crossbar on six minutes following battling centre-forward play by the in-form Cedric Bakambu
Fiorentina came within a whisker of equalising midway through the first half
but Rolando Mandragora´s powerful header zipped inches wide of goalkeeper Fran Vieites´ upright
Former Barcelona centre-half Marc Bartra had a chance to double Betis´ lead at the end of the first period but blasted over from a corner
Manchester United loanee Antony then did get a second for the hosts with a fierce right-footed effort from outside the box which flew beyond David de Gea´s reach and into the top corner in the 64th minute
Fiorentina halved the lead against the run of play with 17 minutes remaining as Luca Ranieri slotted home after being teed up by Robin Gosens

Stockholm and its archipelago offer just the right mood boat
As the Stromma ferry to Fjäderholmarna pulled away from the terminal
Stockholm’s landmarks receded into the distance
I closed my eyes and let the sun warm my skin
imagining the season as a destination in its own right
Though Sweden’s capital city spans 14 islands
Stockholm’s archipelago is a smattering of some 30,000 islands
islets and outcroppings that unfurl into the Baltic Sea
It seems possible to spend years exploring the rocky
many peppered with red buildings that pop against the pines
It’s the stuff of vintage-shop postcards: traditional wood boats tethered to sun-bleached docks
my friend and I dropped by the 19th-century Östermalm food market
filling a bag with creamy hushållsost cheese
made our way to a windswept promontory and were picnicking within the hour
While rising temperatures have made summers unbearable in so many popular summertime destinations
Before steam-powered ships and electric ferries
islands such as Fjäderholmarna were accessible by a water-taxi system helmed by the so-called rowing women of Stockholm
is small enough to circumnavigate in an hour on foot—even while stopping to shop at Rock the Forge
a metalsmith with an array of handmade jewelry
and perusing the eclectic mix of glasswares and ceramics at the seasonal Art Village
You could easily fill a day working your way through the cafés and restaurants
or taking a running jump from the craggy shore into cool
The archipelago offers a dizzying array of destinations
including Sandhamn and the 70 islands of Vaxholm
connected by public ferries and private boat operators
Whether you tackle it over multiple trips or spend two weeks seeing it end to end
languid days and seemingly endless light to explore the islands—from Arholma
and most of which is covered with a nature reserve
Spanning nearly two dozen islands and some 170 miles
the newly opened Stockholm Archipelago Trail encourages travelers to venture beyond Sweden’s busy marinas and crowded town squares
It’s a sentiment deeply enshrined in Swedish culture; their right-to-roam policy
permits people unfettered access to nature—even privately owned land—for recreational activities
you can also backpack and camp anywhere you’d like along the trail
B&amp;Bs and other types of accommodations are also available
Even travelers who choose to stay in the city can spend their days on the water
Stockholm’s Söderström river offers self-service kayak rentals and sightseeing tours
we rotated between sweat sessions and refreshing bay swims
the members-only Tanto Bastu has drop-in hours for visitors
This sauna floats on a wooden pontoon—perfect for quick river dips
Consider these hotels your Stockholm home base.&nbsp;Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers earn 3 points per dollar and receive premium benefits when booking through members of The Edit by Chase Travel
an eight-foot-tall marble sculpture of a head emerges from the grand staircase
Many such artworks lend the property a connoisseur’s feel
Breakfast includes European classics and matcha overnight oats
The Cadier Bar at the Grand Hotel Stockholm
Overlooking Stockholm’s old town and waterfront
this historic 19th-century property hosted the first-ever Nobel Prize banquet
this hotel has a courtyard garden that’s perfect for an afternoon fika
The kitchen serves both guests and visitors if an overnight stay isn’t possible
Spring and summer in Sweden are replete with celebrations
(Plan accordingly: crowds and closures during certain holidays could affect travel plans.) Here’s what’s on the calendar during those sun-soaked midyear months—and how you can get in on the fun
many Swedes send off spring and usher in summer with singing
The first of May has been a national holiday since 1939
Few places celebrate summer’s arrival with as much zeal as Sweden
which marks the longest day of the year (in late June) with a Midsommar national holiday
the solstice is observed with yard games and an extensive smorgasbord (best devoured in a flower crown)
plus bonfires that keep the party going past dusk
crayfish harvesting season is celebrated with raucous outdoor parties

“The museum is now entering a phase of architectural transformation,” the museum said in a release.During its first seven years in operation
the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris has welcomed nearly a million visitors and displayed more than 2,000 works
Located in the former couture house at 5 Avenue Marceau
the museum safeguards the great couturier’s studio
bearing witness to the creative genius of Yves Saint Laurent
It also regularly mounts one-of-a-kind thematic exhibitions
featuring many themes in the wide-ranging creativity of Saint Laurent
Madison Cox, president of the Fondation <a  class="fnwAddLinks" href="/tags-pierre-berge" title="Pierre Bergé">Pierre Bergé</a>–Yves Saint Laurent
has appointed New York-based Selldorf Architects and Paris’s Studio La Boétie to lead the museum’s renovation
celebrating 40 years since its initial debut
With a stunning 96 new pieces in the collection – its largest yet – all are thoughtfully designed to consider the confluence of high quality and affordability that put IKEA on the map
each in keeping with current design wants and needs of the time
STOCKHOLM gets a refreshing update this year with a return to natural fibers
Included in the launch are a range of furniture
created by three Swedish designers with varied but complementary design languages to form a cohesive collection
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-57/" rel="attachment wp-att-575259" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>
The new patterns represent tasteful design style with clear mid-century influences
fused with the color palette of a vibrant city
the designers also looked to the natural features of the Swedish landscape
working with local suppliers to ensure the highest grade of Swedish pine would be used in the collection
“The purpose of the STOCKHOLM collections has always been to prove that high quality doesn&#8217;t need to come at an intimidating cost,” says Karin Gustavsson
“We have worked to create a no-compromise kind of collection where every piece tells a story
Craftsmanship is at the heart of this project
where traditional techniques and hands-on methods have resulted in durable and beautiful design pieces that stand the test of time.”
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-56/" rel="attachment wp-att-575258" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>
At the heart of the collection is a quiet celebration of craftsmanship
and dining tables are pared back to their purest forms
The standout bentwood chairs give nod to traditional Scandinavian technique – hand-shaped beech wood arches that cradle the body with soft curves
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-58/" rel="attachment wp-att-575260" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>

The latest STOCKHOLM iteration began with two distinct sofa designs that jumpstarted the rest of the collection
modular sofa by Swedish designer Ola Wihlborg that comes in four colors
making a statement with or without the matching ottoman
“I wanted to create a high-quality sofa that maintains its shape and looks the same even after you stand up from sitting in it,&#8221; says Wihlborg
&#8220;Something that prioritizes comfort without needing extra pillows.” After more than 30 prototypes
the final design exhibits a refined sense of style
emblematic of the STOCKHOLM iterations of the past
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-60/" rel="attachment wp-att-575262" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>
whimsical color-blocked throw pillows dot the sofa
a felted wool look adding to the personality of the collection
Handmade details are more and more prevalent in recent years
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-61/" rel="attachment wp-att-575263" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>

The second new sofa comes from Nike Karlsson featuring a solid pine wood frame topped with cozy white cushions
The timeless design is made using natural materials in the for of woven fabric
This allowed us to lean into the Scandinavian materials
including working with a Swedish pine supplier to source the highest-quality pine
People often think of pine as a budget material
but when you go for the best and apply smart
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-63/" rel="attachment wp-att-575265" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>
Rounding out the collection with more natural influences
elegant casing and a beautiful transition between the panels
Rattan can also be found as the backrest of one of the dining chairs
as well as a lounge chair with a rattan frame
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-64/" rel="attachment wp-att-575266" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>
Nature flows through the textile work of designer Paulin Machado
whose forest-inspired motifs add narrative depth to everyday items
Lampshades bloom with leaves and mushrooms in palettes drawn straight from the Swedish landscape – greens
echo the birch trees of the north in colorways ranging from deep forest green to stark black-and-white
Merino wool blankets and pillowcases in multi-hued patterns punctuate the collection with warmth and vibrance
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-65/" rel="attachment wp-att-575267" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>

Ceramic and porcelain tableware in glazed stone finishes bring subtle texture to the table
while a curated glassware range keeps things minimal and elegant
The vases – two mouth-blown and one in bold
black ceramic – serve as sculptural statements
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-72/" rel="attachment wp-att-575274" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>
creating precedents for many other furniture brands to follow suit
some may even say a lifestyle – IKEA&#8217;s iconic blue bag continues to carry much more than just our items
<a href="https://design-milk.com/the-stockholm-2025-collection-from-ikea-celebrates-swedish-design/ikea-stockholm-2025-furnishings-collection-73/" rel="attachment wp-att-575275" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>

Check out our guide to the very best things to do in Stockholm
Spring 2025:&nbsp;As the k&ouml;rsb&auml;rstr&auml;d (cherry blossom trees) in Kungstr&auml;dg&aring;rden begin to bloom
Stockholmers are desperate for sunlight and the outdoors
The clack of joiners&rsquo; hammers building new uteserveringar seasonal terraces in front of bars
cafes and restaurants is the soundtrack to spring
events such as Valborg Fire festival (April 30)
Stockholm Art Week (May 13-18) and the start of open-air concert season at Gr&ouml;na Lund amusement park (May 9-September 11
gronalund.com) are all great excuses to get out and explore.&nbsp;
IMy love affair with <a href="https://www.timeout.com/stockholm">Stockholm</a>&nbsp;stretches back two decades (even though I&rsquo;ve lived here only two years) &ndash; as long as I&rsquo;ve had a Swedish significant other in my life
my relationship with the city has evolved and deepened in all sorts of interesting ways.&nbsp;As a young man I remember feeling dumbstruck by how cool and beautiful everything in&nbsp;Stockholm&nbsp;seemed to be
from its seemingly endless waterfront and elegant architecture to its abundance of hip design shops
I&rsquo;m simply grateful for the excellent standard of living the Swedish capital supports
Here are the best things to do in Stockholm
Start your perfect day in Stockholm with posh eggs on bread at one of the city&rsquo;s most popular breakfast cafes Pom &amp; Flora (branches in Vasastan
From there take public transport to the city&rsquo;s lush green park island Djurg&aring;rden and enjoy a winding walk along the water
before pausing for lunch in the magical garden caf&eacute; at Rosendals Tr&auml;dg&aring;rd
Hop on the commuter ferry from Allm&auml;nna grand to Gamla Stan and walk to Pet Sounds Bar
for evening drinks and dinner with a great soundtrack and an even better view
pop over to Kollektivet Livet and finish up with a gig or clubnight
🏨 Planning your stay? Discover Stockholm&rsquo;s best <a href="https://www.timeout.com/stockholm/hotels/the-best-airbnbs-in-stockholm" target="_blank">best Airbnbs</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.timeout.com/stockholm/hotels/best-hotels-in-stockholm" target="_blank">hotels</a> 
Time Out tip:&nbsp;Food options in Djurg&aring;rden are pricey
so pack a picnic and tuck in on the waterfront behind the Vasa Museum
or find a spot off one of the grassy trails
galleries and long stretches of sandy beaches
Time Out tip: Some of the islands you can reach using SL commuter ferries, and travel with your metro card. Others you can travel to via private operators such as <a href="https://waxholmsbolaget.se/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Waxholmsbolaget</a>.&nbsp;See company websites for details and timetables.&nbsp;
In an old waterfront red-brick building that once belonged to the customs department
you&rsquo;ll find a photography gallery with wall upon wall of striking images
Fotografiska has late-opening hours all week and broad rotating exhibitions on everything from feminism to global politics
You&rsquo;ll also find one of the sleekest bars and best caf&eacute;s in the city
with panoramic waterside views across Stockholm&rsquo;s central islands
Time Out tip:&nbsp;If you&rsquo;re in Stockholm visiting a friend
ask if they have a Fotografiska membership &ndash; it could bag you free entry
Photograph: CandelaFurther enhancing Stockholm&rsquo;s claim to be the most eco-friendly capital in the world, during spring and summer 2025 a&nbsp;Candela P-12&nbsp;<a href="https://sl.se/artikel/barplansbaten-nova" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">state-of-the-art electric hydrofoil ferry called Nova</a>
will shuttle passengers between Klara M&auml;larstrand in the city centre and Tappstr&ouml;m on Eker&ouml; island
the futuristic-looking vessel is the world&rsquo;s first electric passenger ship with a hydrofoil to be tested in everyday public transport circulation
Nova uses just 20 percent of the energy of a traditional ship of the same size
which is great for nature and wildlife and makes for a comfortable and fun journey.&nbsp;
Time Out tip: Just tap on to the ferry with a regular SL public transport pass or even with a bank card
Nova sails from Eker&ouml; to Klara M&auml;larstrand three times a day seven days a week May-August; a single crossing takes about 30 minutes.&nbsp;
Among the very best of&nbsp;Stockholm&rsquo;s state-owned museums is the <a href="https://historiska.se/home/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Swedish History Museum</a>
From a candid exhibit exploring Sweden&rsquo;s heinous treatment of its indigenous minorities to another exploring the links between the Vikings and Nazism
this place challenges the very notion of a history museum &ndash; and history itself.&nbsp;
Time Out tip: Take Tram 7 from Central Station to the museum along opulent Strandv&auml;gen
and between April and June they run vintage trams along the route
Traditional swedish falun red wooden houses and piers on Fjaderholmarna (Feather Islands), nearest archipelago islands from Stockholm) at sunny autumn evening.Throw an unlikely spot of downill into your city break, by hopping on public transport to <a href="https://www.skistar.com/en/hammarbybacken/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Hammarbybacken</a> only about 40 minutes&rsquo; travel from Central Station
A mostly man-made hill built up over the last century using among other things earth excavated during construction of the nearby Globe entertainment venue (now known as Avicii Arena)
it&rsquo;s a winter wonderland not far from the heart of the city
and snow machines to keep the pistes fresh season long
You can hire everything you need for skiing or snowboarding from the shop right at the foot of the hill (book online in advance)
pause at the top to take in breathtaking views of the glittering city lights from 93.5 metres above sea level
Summertime activities include mountain biking
and a mountain coaster (a single-rail solo rollercoaster)
the area &lsquo;south of Folkungatan&rsquo; on S&ouml;dermalm island
has become a hotbed of trendy coffee shops
The baked goods of choice here include cinnamon and cardamom buns (plus saffron in winter)
there&rsquo;ll often be rye open sandwiches or small rolls filled with cheese
and you can expect popular cafes to often be busy
especially at weekends when queues snake out the door
get your coffee and cake to go and enjoy it by the waterfront or in one of S&ouml;der&rsquo;s many lovely parks.&nbsp;
Stockholm&rsquo;s metro network is often dubbed the world&rsquo;s longest art gallery for a good reason; most stations have art in some form or other
many retain the feel of a newly discovered cave
vividly brought to life through rainbow colours
words (the university stop has the Swedish human rights declaration tiled like a crossword) and futuristic patterns
The blue line hosts some of the most daring designs
which feels like some post-apocalyptic archaeological discovery.&nbsp;
Time Out tip:&nbsp;The SL metro card covers a vast public transport network in the Stockholm region
Photograph: Henrik TryggLaunched in autumn 2024, the <a href="https://stockholmarchipelagotrail.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stockholm Archipelago Trail</a> is a unique 270km hiking network knitting together walks across 20 islands in the Stockholm archipelago
from Arholma in the north to Landsort in the south
But how to cross between islands without getting wet
Every section of the trail can be reached cheaply and easily using Stockholm&rsquo;s excellent public ferry transportation system
Most stages are suitable for a single day&rsquo;s walk
but if you want to go on a longer trek then you can combine several stages at your choosing
See the website for suggested itineraries and more info.&nbsp;
hostels or bed and breakfasts for overnight stays
as long as you follow some important rules (do not disturb people or wildlife
Be sure to round off your sightseeing by watching the sun go down over the shimmering surface of Lake M&auml;laren
The best spot to do this would be Norr M&auml;larstrand
a leafy trail that provides views of the Old Town and its characterful spires
Time Out tip:&nbsp;Don&rsquo;t forget to pack an evening picnic to help you stay warm while sunset-watching
Nearby Slussen boasts many independent coffee shops
Just a 15-minute stroll from urban Hornstull&rsquo;s bustling coffee shops and bars is L&aring;ngholmen island
home to a former prison that is now a hotel
The island is surrounded by coastal paths and greenery
making this an oasis within the city centre
L&aring;ngholmen beach is surrounded by flat rocks and a grassy bank where locals flock for picnics
this is one of the Swedish capital&rsquo;s most frequented swimming spots
Time Out tip:&nbsp;L&aring;ngholmen&rsquo;s bathing spots offer good-quality cold outdoor showers if you need to freshen up before heading back into the city.&nbsp;
this industrial wasteland-turned-urban eco-district is worth a trip to check out its impressive energy-saving modern architecture (designed to reduce heat consumption) or bike along its pristine waterfront cycle lanes
drop by craft beer bar Nya Carnegiebryggeriet
Run by a team trained at the legendary Brooklyn Brewery in New York
it specialises in seasonal releases and limited-edition experiments.&nbsp;
Time Out tip: If you want to buy Nya Carnegiebryggeriet beers to take home with you
you&rsquo;ll find a selection on sale at the Swedish state off-license Systembolaget
There&rsquo;s a branch nearby in Hammarby Sj&ouml;stad
Time Out tip:&nbsp;This is a prime swimming spot
but taking a dip here is only for the (extremely!) brave &ndash; until June at least
Some warmer water can be found at Brunnsviken
A bonding ritual and coping mechanism in the long winters
the sauna is an integral part of the Nordic culture &ndash; a must-do activity while you&rsquo;re here
Sweat out your stress at Hellasg&aring;rden
a recreation area inside Nacka nature reserve
a short bus ride from Stockholm&rsquo;s Slussen station
Expect to strip off completely in their gender-separated saunas and find locals braving a dip in the icy lake
even when the temperatures are well into the minuses.&nbsp;
Time Out tip:&nbsp;It&rsquo;s worth combining a trip to Hellasg&aring;rden&rsquo;s sauna with one of the hiking trails around the lake
Check the giant map at the main entrance for inspiration
There are also plenty of barbecue spots for public use
You can visit <a href="https://www.modernamuseet.se/stockholm/en/visit-the-museum/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Moderna Museet</a>&rsquo;s fantastic modern and contemporary art exhibitions any day of the week
but if you&rsquo;re strapped for cash there&rsquo;s free entry on Fridays from&nbsp;6-8pm
It&rsquo;s also home to a bookshop and caf&eacute; with a terrace overlooking the water across towards &Ouml;stermalm&rsquo;s lavish fa&ccedil;ades
You can reach the museum by footbridge from Kungstr&auml;dg&aring;rden or by commuter ferry with your metro card.&nbsp;
Time Out tip:&nbsp;As one of the smallest central islands
Skeppsholmen makes for a beautiful brisk evening walk (with panoramic city-centre views)
One of the best ways to tackle a weekend hangover in Stockholm is to nestle into the soft red velvet seats at the iconic 1940s cinema Bio Rio in Hornstull
where you can catch a retro or newly-released indie film while snacking on a simple sm&ouml;rg&aring;sbord of yoghurt
knocking back as much coffee as you like.&nbsp;

Ikea’s Stockholm 2025 collection brings together natural materials
BY <a href="/user/lily-mcdonald" class="underline underline-offset-4 text-black">Lily McDonald</a>
Ikea unveiled the latest edition of its iconic Stockholm 2025 collection
marking 40 years since the original collection was released in 1985
The 96-item lineup includes a range of pieces, like bold statement sofas, side tables, and elegant chandeliers. The designs are keeping with the brand’s signature Scandi aesthetic, but with a twist: inspiration from the natural world. The collection is now available in stores and <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat/stockholm-collection-11989/">on the Ikea website</a>
At the core of the collection is a thoughtful focus on materials
Solid wood is paired with tactile surfaces and natural fibers like mouth-blown glass and rattan to create a variety of pieces
The designers selected these materials not just for their beauty
but for how they age and interact over time
“The purpose of the Stockholm collections has always been to prove that high quality doesn’t need to come at an intimidating cost,” says Karin Gustavsson, creative leader for Stockholm, in a <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/newsroom/range-news/stockholm-2025-pubf3b68b50/">press release</a>
where traditional techniques and hands-on methods have resulted in durable and beautiful design pieces that stands the test of time.”
and Paulin Machado developed the collection
which was deeply rooted in its namesake city of Stockholm
Two noticeably different sofas serve as the foundational centerpieces of Ikea’s Stockholm 2025 collection. One of them is a wide modular <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/stockholm-2025-3-seat-sofa-alhamn-dark-turquoise-s79574302/#content">sofa</a> that was designed by Wihlborg and is available in four colors
His frustration with sofas that constantly require cushion fluffing sparked the design concept
“I wanted to create a high-quality sofa that maintains its shape and looks the same even after you stand up from sitting in it
Something that prioritizes comfort without needing extra pillows,” he explains
After developing more than 30 prototypes to refine the balance between structure and softness
Its modular design allows each piece to stand alone or be connected to fit a variety of spaces and lifestyles
Karlsson took a different route with his creation. His <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/stockholm-2025-sofa-sundhamn-beige-00586096/">sofa</a>
constructed with a solid pine wood frame and soft white cushions
embraces a foam-free design made entirely from natural materials
Nature was the main source of inspiration for textile designer Paulin Machado’s pieces. The collection’s <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/stockholm-2025-table-lamp-black-multicolor-textile-30585948/">lampshades</a> have delicate leaf and mushroom motifs
and color palettes drawn from the shifting tones of Scandinavian seasons

“Nature is the best designer—every colour matches beautifully in the natural world,” Machado says

three songs into his first full solo show since March 2019
&ldquo;There&rsquo;s been plenty of that already tonight
which explains the sense of expectancy in the air
Tonight&rsquo;s venue is Stockholm&rsquo;s 1600-capacity Cirkus
circular building has the dimensions of a big top
but tonight it feels more like a grand old planetarium &ndash; fitting given The Overview&rsquo;s to-infinity-and-beyond themes
The album itself is a genuine modern classic
a progressive record that actually looks forward rather than back
it&rsquo;s built to be played in its entirety from start to finish
two 20-ish minute tracks one after the other &ndash; a retro notion
but the very definition of to-the-stars modernity in every other respect
during the second part of a show comprising two distinct halves
separated by an intermission (no support act tonight
unlike his four shows at the London Palladium where
his openers will be a different comedian each night)
an hour long &ndash; acts as both a reintroduction and a chance to make up for lost time
The Harmony Codex (from the album of the same name) and King Ghost (from the brilliant yet divisive The Future Bites)
Both are entirely electronic and performed by Wilson standing centre stage
dwarfed by the massive hi-def screen that looms over him
projecting the films that originally accompanied each song
is darker and colder than its recorded counterpart
The rest of the first half is more traditional
even if &lsquo;traditional&rsquo; is relative in this context
Wilson joined by his full band &ndash; guitarist Randy McStine
drummer Craig Blundell and keyboard player Adam Holzman &ndash; as he winds through his solo back catalogue
from Luminol&rsquo;s twisting jazz-prog to the graceful art-pop of What Life Brings to Harmony Korine&rsquo;s exhilarating melodic rush
There&rsquo;s a run of concrete-encased heaviness in the shape of No Part Of Me
Dislocated Day (the sole Porcupine Tree song aired tonight) and Remainder The Black Dog
though it&rsquo;s first-half closer Vermillioncore that sees them go full rock beast
Wilson could have done things differently tonight and started by playing The Overview in its entirety
but that would have stripped away some of the anticipation surrounding the show
As he returns alone to usher in the album&rsquo;s first track
It&rsquo;s an album that demands attention as it drifts and whirls
before taking off for the most distant reaches of the universe
Despite its themes of impermanence and perspective
shifting from rolling piano and stacked vocal harmonies to breezy if existentially heavy pop-rock to McStine&rsquo;s next-level guitar solo across its 23-minute duration
a musical moving camera that pulls away from earth into deep space
a disembodied voice (actually Wilson&rsquo;s wife
Rotem) intoning intergalactic markers along the way
the music is accompanied by a vivid animated film
that runs the gamut of imagery from a little grey alien pulling itself out of a swamp to vast
imagined ring nebulae billions of miles away
the &lsquo;audio&rsquo; part of this audio-visual extravaganza is equally impressive
He finishes by hitting the last remaining bases he hasn&rsquo;t already hit in the shape of the emotive Pariah (from 2017&rsquo;s To The Bone
featuring duet partner Ninet Tayeb singing from the screen behind him) and the contrasting Ancestral (from 2015&rsquo;s Hand Cannot Erase)
the latter an impressive if existentially bleak climax
they&rsquo;re there if anyone is listening out for them
the out-of-tune guitar that Wilson sends back before What Life Brings
They&rsquo;ll surely be ironed out within a few more shows
but they prove that nobody&rsquo;s perfect

The Stockholm Games were a model of efficiency. The Swedish hosts introduced the first Olympic use of automatic timing devices for the track events, the photo finish and a public address system.
If there was an unofficial theme of the 1912 Games, it was endurance. The course for the cycling road race was 320km (199 miles), the longest race of any kind in Olympic history. In Greco-Roman wrestling, the middleweight semi-final match between Russian Martin Klein and Finland’s Alfred Asikainen lasted 11 hours.
For the first time, competitors in the Games came from all five continents. It was also the first time Japan participated. The modern pentathlon, women’s swimming and women’s diving all made their Olympic debuts.
Under the nom de plume of Georges Hohrod and M. Eschbach, Baron de Coubertin was awarded first place for his &quot;Ode to sport&quot; which &quot;praises sport in both a literary and sporting way&quot;. (Illustration: &quot;Les sports d&#x27;hiver&quot; of Carlo Pelligrini, winner of the painting competition of the Concours d’Art.)
With the close of the 1912 Olympics, all eyes turned towards the city of Berlin where the next edition of the Games was scheduled to take place. Although World War I made it impossible for plans to proceed, the Games proved their resilience. The 1916 celebration remained in Olympic history as the Games of the VI Olympiad, and in 1920, the Olympics were once again held, with the Belgian city of Antwerp acting as Olympic host.

The “Stockholm tree pit” method was created to help trees thrive in paved-over urban spaces
When Stockholm’s Traffic Office conducted a general assessment of street traffic in the Swedish capital in 2001
it came to the shocking conclusion that two-thirds of all trees in the city center were dead or dying
City authorities agreed that an urgent response was needed to nurse these leafy urban ecosystem pillars back to health
various technologies and materials were tested in an attempt to create a more suitable living space for trees in the urban environment
“I knew that they could grow if the circumstances were right,” says Embrén
The root of the problem was the fact that many trees in Stockholm were planted in the 19th century
the streets were comparatively underdeveloped
so the trees could grow relatively freely in the space underground
But as Stockholm has developed over the decades
its streets have been increasingly paved over with concrete
internet and beyond — have been laid underneath them
the roots of the trees have often been damaged through disruptive building works and
due to the lack of space and impermeable concrete
they have also been starved of oxygen and water
“It’s like putting a plastic bag over your head and tightening it over your neck,” says Embrén
“That’s what happened to the trees in Stockholm
inspired by railroad embankments — which require only a small amount of organic matter for healthy trees to grow — Embrén concocted what was to become known as the “Stockholm tree pit” model
The design involves digging a pit and constructing a frame underground around the tree’s roots, and then filling said pit with a mixture of soil and stone, sometimes including <a target="_blank" href="https://reasonstobecheerful.world/netzero-coffee-husks-biochar-climate-reduce-emissions/">biochar</a>
These permeable layers are very strong and physically adaptable but also allow stormwater to flow in
meaning the trees are provided with sufficient air and water naturally
They also allow rainwater to be soaked up — a necessity amid more extreme weather brought on by climate change
“We found that the more breathable the materials we used
Proponents say the method has a number of benefits, including the fact that pits can be installed around existing trees, they can bear the weight of heavy-vehicle traffic, they require little topsoil — a resource that is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.weradiate.com/blog/unnews">becoming scarce</a> — and they need less watering than traditionally-planted trees
which allows tree roots to thrive beneath hard surfacing
ergo allowing healthy trees to grow within the modern built environment
is particularly relevant as cities attempt to re-green and reforest in the face of climate change
According to the <a target="_blank" href="https://unece.org/media/news/366653">United Nations Economic Commission for Europe</a>
urban forests can help “future-proof” cities
which are responsible for about 75 percent of global CO2 emissions
and mitigating risks of floods and landslides
“It’s more important now than ever before,” says <a target="_blank" href="https://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/faculty-profiles/ryan-klein/">Ryan Klein</a>
an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Horticulture at the University of Florida
“We have these massive populations in urban areas
And we’re seeing more extreme weather like hurricanes
Trees can help to offset some of these negative effects.”
experts like Klein warn that due to ineffective methods and techniques being used
it’s common to see urban trees in poor health
and trees planted in cities often have very high mortality rates
“We have the understanding of how to grow healthier
more sustainable and resilient forests,” says Klein
money or internal know-how on implementing this.”
A <a target="_blank" href="https://research.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/58772#:~:text=The%201st%2C%202nd%2C%20and%203rd,time%20period%20or%20mortality%20rate).">review</a> of 16 scientific studies on urban tree mortality
found that in the first five years after planting
“Urban soils are not very tree-friendly currently,” says <a target="_blank" href="https://efi.int/staff-list/rik-de-vreese">Rik De Vreese</a>
leader of the Urban Forestry Team at the European Forestry Institute
such as trunks falling over and causing damage or roots warping sidewalks
the Stockholm Tree Pit method — and the way that it’s been implemented in Sweden — is helping urban forests genuinely take root
One of the first locations where Embrén introduced a tree pit was Erik Dahlbergsallén street in Stockholm
not far from the popular Swedish Museum of Natural History
the circumference of a selection of those planted trees increased from 30 to 35 centimeters to 70 to 83 centimeters between 2004 and 2013
even surpassing that of trees without the tree pits that have been there for more than 80 years
The latest figures from 2024 saw them reach between 100 and 136 centimeters
“It’s easy to see how effective the pits have been,” says Embrén
The municipality estimates that 2.3 million liters of rainwater are managed by the trees per year
4,600 square meters of roofs and sidewalks have been disconnected from the sewage system
reducing the burden on water treatment services
This technique has proven so successful that it has become the standard for all other development projects in the public spaces of Stockholm
Embrén says he has been directly involved in constructing more than 3,000 tree pits
there are now three “tree officers” who have taken on the expanding role
estimates that the city now builds between 500 and 1,000 tree pits a year
the tree pits are also in almost every Swedish city — with a few variations
“Some have copied and changed a little bit
like adding pumice to the stone mix,” says Embrén
Stockholm’s tree pits are now spreading across Europe, too. In Budapest, Hungary’s capital, the tree pits can be found all over <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/culture_society/nature_tree-planting_stockholm-system_stp_budapest/">Bartók Béla Boulevard and Arany János Street</a>
Embrén says the Spanish city of Madrid has implemented the method using local materials
And it’s become increasingly popular in the U.K
Ben Rose, the principal arboricultural consultant at U.K. tree service Bosky Trees and the founder of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.stockholmtreepits.co.uk/">Stockholm Tree Pits</a>
a U.K.-based company that produces the equipment required to make tree pits
says that he has planted about 500 trees using the Stockholm model in the U.K
mostly as part of small-scale pilot projects
“The approach is very suitable for use in urban situations
and beside walkways or cycle paths,” says Rose
Yet there are some drawbacks to the system
the pits can require a large amount of space to install
and it is impossible to reuse existing soil
for now there is a relative dearth of professionals who know how to construct tree pits
“Our main concern is the price,” says De Vreese
whose team is currently studying the importance of “structural soils” like those deployed by the tree pits
“Excavating the soil surrounding the tree and refilling it is no small job.”
And while Professor Klein praises the Stockholm Tree Pit’s use of structural soil and how effective it’s proven to be
he notes that the long-term success of urban forestry also relies on other factors such as the supply of high quality nursery stock and proactive tree management such as routine pruning by municipalities
“If we don’t have these we are setting ourselves up for failure,” he says
and they have public officials seriously behind it

Nashville returns to regular-season action overseas for the first time since October 2022
when it swept the San Jose Sharks in a two-game set as part of the 2022 NHL Global Series at the O2 Arena in Prague
The Predators also faced off in an exhibition contest against SC Bern at PostFinance Arena in Bern
Switzerland – Captain Roman Josi’s hometown – during the same trip
It will be the Predators’ third trip to play regular-season games overseas in franchise history – Nashville split a two-game series vs
Pittsburgh at the Saitama Super Arena outside Tokyo
Many talented Swedish-born players have donned the Predators jersey since their inaugural season in 1998-99
including current forward and alternate captain Filip Forsberg
the franchise’s all-time leading goal scorer
Other Sweden natives on the team’s current roster include defensemen Andreas Englund and Adam Wilsby
Hockey Hall of Famer Peter Forsberg skated for the Predators in 2006-07 and is one of 24 Swedish-born players to appear in a game for the franchise
“It will be an incredible honor to play NHL games for the Predators in my home country,” Leksand
but some of my favorite hockey memories are from my time skating for my hometown team in Leksand and representing the Tre Kronor with pride
I’m excited for my teammates and our fans to spend the week in Sweden and see everything it has to offer.”

Turkey has <a href="https://rsf.org/en/country-t%C3%BCrkiye">dropped</a> to 159th out of 180 countries in the 2025 World Press Freedom Index
published Friday by Reporters Without Borders (RSF)
politically motivated arrests and state control over media as key factors in the country’s continued decline in press freedom
The ranking places Turkey in the lowest tier of the index for the second consecutive year
falling one position from its 2024 ranking of 158th
Turkey remains among the world’s most repressive environments for journalists
financial sanctions and violence against reporters
90 percent of Turkey’s national media is under direct or indirect government control
authorities escalated their crackdown on critical journalism
Police violence and mass arrests were used against reporters covering political rallies and street protests
Online censorship politically charged lawsuits
and punitive court decisions have become standard tools of state repression
Journalists are frequently stripped of their press credentials
particularly those working for opposition or independent outlets
Courts acting in line with executive interests regularly order the removal of online articles exposing corruption or government misconduct
A proposed law on “agents of influence” is expected to broaden the state’s power to criminalize dissent and further restrict press freedom
State and pro-government business interests endanger media pluralism by channeling ads and subsidies to media outlets that give them favorable coverage
The Press Advertising Agency (BIK) routinely withholds public ads from news outlets critical of the government
while the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) imposes heavy fines on opposition broadcasters
These tactics contribute to financial instability in independent media; some newspapers shut down due to rising costs
Journalists who criticize government officials
or religious figures often face charges of “insult.” Women journalists who report on domestic violence or abuse are frequently targeted by coordinated hate campaigns on social media
Politicians from the far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP)
a key ally of Erdoğan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP)
have issued threats against reporters covering sensitive issues
including corruption and human rights abuses
Journalists covering anti-government protests
or attacks on secularism face heightened risks of violence and intimidation
According to <a href="https://www.mlsaturkey.com/tr/cezaevindeki-gazeteciler-ve-medya-calisanlari-listesi">data</a> from the Media and Law Studies Association
there are currently 37 journalists and media workers in prison in Turkey
mainly comprising Kurdish journalists and those who worked for media outlets affiliated with the faith-based Gülen movement
inspired the late Muslim cleric Fethullah Gülen
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been targeting followers of the Gülen movement
inspired by the late Muslim cleric Fethullah Gülen
since corruption investigations revealed in December 2013 implicated then-prime minister Erdoğan as well as some members of his family and inner circle
Dismissing the investigations as a Gülenist coup and a conspiracy against his government
Erdoğan designated the movement as a terrorist organization and began to target its members
He intensified the crackdown on the movement following an abortive putsch in 2016 that he accused Gülen of masterminding
The movement strongly denies involvement in the coup attempt or any terrorist activity
The World Press Freedom Index score is calculated on a scale from 0 to 100
with 100 representing the highest level of press freedom
RSF evaluates countries across five indicators: political context
sociocultural pressures and journalist safety
Each indicator contributes equally to a country’s final score
which then determines its ranking on a color-coded map
Turkey is classified in the “very serious” category
Global law firm White &amp; Case LLP has advised Stockholm Exergi on the financing to build one of the world's largest carbon capture facilities
The investment level is 13 billion SEK and
in connection with the investment decision
long-term commitments for unsecured loans have been obtained that secure the financing of the project and provide the company with access to additional working capital
will be built at the bio-combined heat and power plant in Värtahamnen
The facility already produces sustainable electricity and district heating from forestry residues
delivering reliable and dispatchable electricity while keeping Stockholmers warm through a 3,000-kilometer-long district heating network
By adding carbon capture and storage of biogenic CO₂
Stockholm Exergi will create even greater climate benefits
Owned by the City of Stockholm and a consortium of leading European pension funds (APG
Stockholm Exergi is Sweden's leading district heating company and a pioneer in sustainable and circular solutions for heating
The company is working to become the largest provider of permanent negative emissions in the EU

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome
Hundreds marched through central Stockholm on Wednesday to protest Israel's ongoing attacks on Gaza
as part of larger International Workers' Day demonstrations featuring strong messages of solidarity with the Palestinian people
and artists call for urgent humanitarian access to Gaza and accountability for what participants described as acts of genocide carried out by Israel
The march proceeded peacefully toward Segel Torg Square under close police supervision
Protesters carried banners reading &ldquo;Children are being killed in Gaza,&rdquo; &ldquo;Schools and hospitals are being bombed,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Impose a genocide embargo on Israel.&rdquo;
Slogans such as &ldquo;Freedom for Palestine&rdquo; and &ldquo;No to the Trump plan&rdquo; echoed through the streets as demonstrators denounced international inaction in the face of what they called a humanitarian catastrophe
local performers wearing Palestinian scarves dedicated songs to children in Gaza
drawing emotional responses from the crowd
The protest focused not only on solidarity with Palestinians but also on broader issues of human rights and international justice
Swedish activist and academic Roberto Felicetti described the situation in Gaza as a modern-day genocide
&ldquo;Innocent people and children continue to be targeted
Remaining silent means being complicit in genocide,&rdquo; he said
urging international communities not to normalize what he called a massacre
&ldquo;This is not only a violation of human rights &mdash; it&rsquo;s an attack on democracy.&rdquo;

More than 52,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023
Not even a year after winning our first piece of major silverware in a generation
Chelsea had lifted another trophy and were heading for a European final
An epic comeback against Vicenza at Stamford Bridge booked our place in the Stockholm showpiece
where we would try to win the Cup Winners’ Cup for the second time in our history
Joachim Low’s Stuttgart defeated Lokomotiv Moscow 3-1 on aggregate
It would be our first meeting against the German side
who like us were the reigning domestic cup holders and finished the season in fourth place in the league
They gave us this tankard to mark the occasion
The Chelsea team travelled out the day before the game
Gianfranco Zola had torn a groin muscle in a big home win over Liverpool a few weeks earlier
Dennis Wise was returning from a thigh injury
and Graeme Le Saux had suffered a kick to his calf
Player-manager Gianluca Vialli had big decisions to make
Vialli led training sessions on the eve of the game and matchday morning
It was then that he informed Zola he was not prepared to risk him for the full 90 minutes
and would instead be selecting himself and Tore Andre Flo in attack
but with Le Saux and long-term absentee Celestine Babayaro ruled out
youngster Danny Granville was the choice at left-back
Chelsea’s matchday attire included a navy and white anthem jacket with the fixture details embroidered
(which like the medal and the tankard you can view in our museum) and yellow and red coats and sweaters for those players not in the matchday squad
They were what our shirt maker Umbro had available in the size run required at short notice
were worn by England at that summer’s World Cup
It had hosted eight games at the 1958 World Cup
including the final when a 17-year-old Pele fired Brazil to glory against the hosts
the traditional four-stand ground had a pitch not befitting of a European showpiece
Chelsea began the better on its lumps and bumps
but good chances were few and far between in a typically tight final
Vialli and his men were roared on by a phenomenal travelling support
with some estimates identifying 25,000 of the 30,000 in attendance as those of a Chelsea persuasion
Stuttgart had returned most of their allocation
it looked like a game at Stamford Bridge,’ declared goalkeeper Ed de Goey afterwards
He saved excellently from Stuttgart’s Bulgarian star Krasimir Balakov in the first half
It was the closest the Bundesliga side would come to scoring
Wise and Roberto Di Matteo had our best chances
but when we made our first substitution of the night
Just 17 seconds after our little Italian magician had entered the fray
he latched on to a clever Wise pass and thumped a half-volley high into the roof of the net
It was as sweet a connection as you could hope for
‘I thought this is the moment,’ reflected Zola in later years
and fortunately I hit the ball perfectly and it went where I wanted it to go.’
Stuttgart mustered little by way of a response
despite a harsh red card shown to Dan Petrescu
it signified the first time in Chelsea history we had won two trophies in a single season
this European glory adding to a League Cup success over Middlesbrough
‘The credit has to be shared between all the chaps
The celebrations continued long into the night
with the players parading the trophy in front of the ecstatic blue hordes
For the many thousands of supporters on the official club travel packages
returning home from the Swedish capital proved harder than expected because of locally generated coach-transfer chaos and several other factors
at least those fans stuck at the airport the next day could cheer the players one more time
We hope the significantly smaller Chelsea following supporting <a href="/en/teams/profile/enzo-maresca">Enzo Maresca</a> and his side from the 3Arena’s away section have smoother travels
but that they also return home having witnessed a Chelsea victory in Stockholm
and the Blues taking one step closer to contesting another European final

A Turkish court on Wednesday gave a Swedish journalist a suspended sentence of just over 11 months for insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
an Agence France-Presse correspondent and his legal team said
who works for Swedish newspaper Dagens ETC
where he has been held for over a month as he is facing a second charge of belonging to a terrorist organization
was detained on March 27 upon arrival at İstanbul Airport
where he planned to report on nationwide protests that erupted after the detention and imprisonment of İstanbul’s opposition mayor
He appeared before a judge in the capital city of Ankara via video link from the Silivri Prison
Prosecutors accuse Medin of participating in a January 2023 protest in Stockholm by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) during which a puppet representing Erdoğan was strung up
Dagens ETC editor-in-chief Andreas Gustavsson told AFP that the reporter was “in a pretty good condition” and “prepared for this trial.”
“He’s looking forward to telling the judge that journalistic work shouldn’t be a crime
from teenagers to journalists and even a former Miss Turkey
have been charged with insulting the head of state
“The offense of ‘insulting the president’ has played a role in the harassment of many local and foreign journalists and clearly disregards the precedents set out by the European Court of Human Rights,” Erol Önderoğlu of Reporters Without Borders (RSF) told AFP
“It is gravely disproportionate and arbitrary that a foreign journalist is accused of doing something in his own country that he says he didn’t participate in but only reported on,” he said
RSF ranks Turkey 158th of 180 countries in its press freedom index
Gustavsson said the conditions where Medin is being held were decent and that he’d been able to exercise
and once a week he’s been able to have a short phone call with his wife.”
a crime punishable by up to nine years in prison
according to the Media and Law Studies Association (MLSA)
the Turkish rights group whose lawyers are defending him
In a statement to prosecutors ahead of Wednesday’s trial
Medin denied participating in the Stockholm protest
“Joakim Medin was arrested and put on trial in Turkey on charges of ‘insulting the president’ because he reported on an event he did not participate in and was simply doing journalism,” MLSA co-director Barış Altıntaş told AFP
The other charge of “membership in a terrorist group” was based on his social media posts
news stories and books written “solely as a result of his journalistic activities,” she said
“It’s shameful someone who is engaged in journalism should be punished in this way
but it’s not surprising when you consider the state of freedom of expression in Turkey,” she added
Turkey was gripped by widespread street protests after the March 19 detention and subsequent arrest of İstanbul Mayor İmamoğlu
widely seen as the only politician capable of defeating Erdoğan at the ballot box
In response police arrested nearly 2,000 people
who was deported for being “a threat to public order.”
AFP photographer Yasin Akgül was also arrested
charged with attending an illegal protest then released
although he and seven other journalists will be tried this year
Relations between Turkey and Sweden soured when Ankara refused to ratify Stockholm’s bid to join NATO after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022
with Erdoğan demanding a Swedish crackdown on Kurdish militants there
with the parliament greenlighting Sweden’s accession to the US-led military alliance

<a href="/player/sidney-crosby-8471675" title="Sidney Crosby">Sidney Crosby</a> and the Pittsburgh Penguins return to Stockholm to face the Nashville Predators in the 2025 NHL Global Series Sweden presented by Fastenal
The games will take place at Avicii Arena on Nov
has played overseas once in his illustrious career
with the Penguins against the Ottawa Senators as part of the 2008 NHL Premiere Series in Stockholm
Pittsburgh has three Sweden-born players on its roster: defenseman <a href="/player/erik-karlsson-8474578" title="Erik Karlsson">Erik Karlsson</a> and forwards <a href="/player/rickard-rakell-8476483" title="Rickard Rakell">Rickard Rakell</a> and <a href="/player/emil-bemstrom-8480205" title="Emil Bemstrom">Emil Bemstrom</a>
Karlsson and Rakell represented Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off last month
"I think it becomes a big thing for us,” said Rakell
“I think [it’s special] just to have a chance to play in your home country or play in front of
your youth team or old coaches that you had growing up
For you to have a chance to have family or friends come and see you and your teammates play
He was named the best defenseman in the 2014 Sochi Olympics when Sweden took home the silver medal
He also became the second Sweden-born player to win the Norris Trophy when he was voted best defenseman in the NHL for the first of three times in 2011-12 while with the Senators
He also won in 2014-15 (Senators) and 2022-23 (San Jose Sharks)
"It's obviously a great experience," Karlsson told the Penguins website
they played with a lot of guys that are from there
You hear a lot of things about a lot of various foods and different things
it's nice because you have a lot of friends and family there
it's nice to be able to show your teammates your home country
and maybe put a picture to some of the things you talk about a lot and they're asking you about."
Rakell is in his third full season with the Penguins after he was acquired in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on March 21
He leads them in goals (31) and is second to Crosby in points with 59 this season
Rakell played for AIK in Stockholm before coming to North America for the 2010-11 season

Englund was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Kings on Feb
a great opportunity for me," Forsberg said
"I have a lot of people that might not be able to travel here to watch that get their chance to watch me play in the NHL at home
November shouldn't be too bad weather-wise either
Watching the best players in the world in Avicii Arena
The Predators will be making their first trip to Stockholm and third overseas
They swept the Sharks in the 2022 Global Series at O2 Arena in Prague
and split two games with the Penguins at the GAME One Japan series in 2000
each team winning 3-1 at Saitama Super Arena
This will be the 15th NHL season to include regular-season games outside North America
Stockholm has hosted the most NHL regular-season games of any city
with next season raising the total to 18 games
The NHL and Live Nation will offer ticket presales at 10 a.m
ET on March 25 and go on sale to the public at 10 a.m
You had to kind of watch them on replay because there was no early games or anything like that
I feel like there's an early game every day pretty much for people to watch back there
I think it's going to be a really cool experience for sure."
Sweden is one of the most important global markets to the League
accounting for the highest representation of players of any country outside North America (9.7 percent of NHL players this season were born in Sweden)
"I just think promoting our game anywhere in the world is a good thing for our game and I think it's a good thing for our players to experience," Nashville general manager Bary Trotz said
"One of the best teachers is travel and I think it creates a better understanding for players
like North American players who have never been to Sweden to understand Swedish culture
It will give us a focus on the two games against Pittsburgh but in a long season sometimes those things can bring some enjoyment to the group too."

2025 8:00 AM ESTA yellow crane hovers above a building site in Sickla
a former industrial neighbourhood that’s home to one of Stockholm’s biggest real estate projects
it’s manoeuvring giant chunks of wood to construction staff working in sub-zero winter temperatures
This is the beginning of what Swedish property developer Atrium Ljungberg describes as “the largest mass timber project in the world.” On the outskirts of Sweden’s capital
construction of ‘Stockholm Wood City’ began in October
and is set to provide 2,000 new homes by 2027.&nbsp;
The company’s core goal is to improve the sustainability of construction projects. Building with wood instead of concrete and steel in 80% of new buildings would, according to a 2020 study by Aalto University and the Finnish Environment Institute, <a href="https://forest.fi/article/building-with-wood-in-urban-areas-could-offset-almost-half-the-carbon-emissions-of-europes-cement-industry/">help offset half of Europe’s construction industry emissions</a>
Atrium Ljungberg is also championing the idea that spending time in buildings made with natural materials can help improve our wellbeing
“We can tell the story about how to build a liveable city
how to add nature into the city and build something sustainable,” says Håkan Hyllengren
business development director for the project
Erika Gerdemark/Bloomberg—Getty ImagesHyllengren hopes Stockholm Wood City will become “an international showcase” due to its sheer scale
The project is set to become the biggest “mixed-use” wooden neighborhood on the planet—alongside the apartment buildings rapidly taking shape
there’s also a high school opening in the fall
and around 7,000 office spaces will be available within two years
the buildings are largely constructed using an engineered product called CLT (cross-laminated timber)
This is made by bonding together layers of wooden panels at right angles
giving it a stiffness and strength that is almost comparable with steel or concrete
In Scandinavia, it’s easy to produce CLT locally—and sustainably—thanks to the region’s abundance of forests. Around 70% of Sweden is covered in woodland, and in 1903 it became the <a href="https://www.forestindustries.se/forest-industry/forest-management/forestry/#:~:text=Every%20year%2C%20400%20million%20saplings,every%20tree%20that%20is%20felled.">first nation in the world to require compulsory reforestation</a>
“We don't have a problem where we will run out of wood,” smiles Hyllengren
“We’ve actually got more forest now than we had 100 years ago
Hyllengren says carbon emissions can be halved in the building construction process, since wood is lighter and quicker to build with than concrete, limiting the use of heavy machinery and energy. The 2020 research from <a href="https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aba134">Aalto University and the Finnish Environment Institute</a> also highlights that wood stores carbon rather than emitting it (since it is made from trees which absorb CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow)
if for any reason a wooden building is no longer needed in the future
Using global data projections based on 50 wooden building projects around the world
the researchers concluded that if 80% of new buildings in Europe had structures
this could sequester up to 55 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year by 2040
That’s equivalent to 47% of the European cement industry’s annual CO2 emissions
and argues that Nordic forestry companies need to adapt their management practices to ensure nature remains protected as demand for wood increases
Another potential challenge for the industry is fire safety
But Hyllengren points out that building regulations in the Nordics are among the strictest in the world
and suggests properly designed and treated engineered wood buildings offer levels of heat protection and durability on a par with conventional building materials
“I think it's a bigger talking point abroad where you haven't built with wood before or not as much as we've done,” he says
All of the buildings in Stockholm Wood City are required to have inbuilt sprinklers
and CLT tolerates extremely high heat levels
“It’s hard for the wood to actually catch fire,” explains Hyllengren
it will char on the outside from around 300°C (626°F)
which creates a protective barrier that limits the spread of flames
Atrium Ljungberg estimates that engineered wood is approximately 10% more expensive to buy than steel or concrete
says that the extra costs can be recouped elsewhere by the company
“You have to look at the whole project,” he explains
Since many wooden building parts arrive preassembled
and you don’t have to mix wood or wait for it to dry
this helps save money by saving labor hours
“By building so much faster than when we build with normal concrete
we can reduce the [project] time,” he adds
pointing out that this also means that tenants can move in and start paying rent earlier
Inside Atrium Ljungberg’s warm head office
just a few blocks from the emerging Stockholm Wood City
there is a miniature light-up model of what the suburb will eventually look like—and how it plans to reduce inhabitants’ environmental impact
This showcases some of the other cornerstones of the development
which Hyllengren hopes will improve “liveability” and create a “really unique environment.” There will be bike storage facilities
a new subway station and rooftop gardens and solar panels
“Pocket parks” between condo blocks and offices will be populated with wild flowers

Jonas Ekblom/Bloomberg—Getty ImagesAtrium Ljungberg also hopes the wooden buildings themselves will boost locals’ wellbeing. There is already a small but <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027249442300107X">growing body of academic research</a> linking wooden materials with lower stress levels
whenever there have been interviews [of] people visiting wooden buildings
they have said that there’s a kind of fresh feeling and also ‘living in nature’ feeling,” explains Ali Amiri
a sustainable buildings researcher at Aalto University in Finland
There is currently little research into the greater impact of living or working in wooden properties
although his team is planning a long-term study of young people living in wooden campus accommodation.&nbsp;
Back on the building site at Stockholm Wood City
there are already signs that working with and around wood is having a beneficial impact on the construction team
“It’s really much better for the workers since it's more light
there's less noise—when you work with concrete
there is a lot of noise,” says Sara Coletti
business manager for building firm TL Bygg
which is spearheading the construction side of the project
In Sweden, the proportion of new, multi-storey buildings constructed with wood—or at least with a wooden frame—is currently around <a href="https://www.tmf.se/imagevault/publishedmedia/40a0rwhct1vlj8c9ql2i/Andel_nybyggda_l-genheter_i_flerbostadshus_med_stomme_av_tr-_-_2015-2023.pdf?download=0">16%, compared to 9% a decade ago</a>
Hyllengren believes that’s likely “to increase a lot in the coming years,” as construction firms increasingly prioritize sustainability and liveability
At Aalto University, Amiri, the sustainability researcher, is also hopeful that the trend can grow globally—including in the U.S. However <a href="https://research.aalto.fi/en/publications/technical-drivers-and-barriers-of-multi-storey-wood-building-cons">his research</a> suggests progress may be slower in countries where there are no local forests
more limited access to affordable engineered wood
“Also in countries that are not familiar with wooden construction even in low-rise [homes]
Hyllengren points out many of the architects
and construction teams working on Stockholm Wood City have already been involved in similar
He believes the regional buzz around building with wood has led to a “really open” climate that’s enabling its rapid evolution in the region
“Companies are sharing knowledge with each other,” he says
“in a way that I haven't really seen in the same way in construction with concrete or steel.”
