Globe Skyview
Globen SktView by Kallerna/Wiki Commons
A lift that takes passengers up the side of the world’s largest globe-shaped building, curving upward until it stops at the top center of the sphere. A grand view of Stockholm and the surrounding areas awaits passengers at a height of 130 m (425 ft) above the ground. The attraction has two lifts on the outside of the globe, timed separately so that one is ready to go every ten minutes. The ride takes twenty minutes from start to finish.
Ericsson Globe on which the attraction sits is a huge sports arena with a diameter of 110 meters (361 feet) and seats 16,000 spectators for concerts. It is primarily used for ice hockey, hosting the NHL Challenge series, in which teams from around the world are invited to play against Swedish teams.
Ericsson Globe is also the center of the Sweden Solar System, a 1:20 million scale solar system that starts in Stockholm and spreads out to the surrounding areas, with some celestial objects found along the country’s coastal route. The Globe acts as the sun, and the other orbs are sized in proportion to the globe’s dimensions.
