Yes, I know the Sheraton map but I’d much rather read a more detailed nerdy fan-map! Any chance we might be allowed to integrate it on these pages, here on sallys? (If you say no, I’ll send Niedermannm after you!!)

Would love to be included here. Here’s a more succinct link, and if you send me an e-mail, I can send you the embed code from Google Maps.

Hey – love the site. I’m reading “Fire” right now and am trying to create a Google Map of the major locations so I can a broad overview of the major locations (Eskende, Sally’s Apartment, the Warehouse, etc.)
I stumbled upon a nice set of Stockholm locations put together by the Sheraton Stockholm. Hilariously, they’ve put together a “Millennium Experience” package that includes a guide book, free coffee break at Mellqvist Kaffebar (“often visited by the characters of the books”), and of course, accommodation at the Sheraton Stokholm (“Harriet Vanger and Mikael Blomkvists preferred hide-away.”)
A little cheesey, to be sure, but the map is publicly available and very well-documented. Here’s the package deal: http://agencydominion.com/clients/sheraton_stockholm_millenium/
And more importantly, the map:

Dear Lisbeth fans,
because we are crazy about the books, AND about Sweden, we must know where EXACTLY Hedestad and Hedeby are. Stig used places he once visited, so there must be a town that “is” Hedestad. HELP!!!!
[Translate]
Hedestad and Hedeby Island are fictional places, but the filming location was Gnesta in Sweden. Help enough?
[Translate]
What do we know about Hedestad?
– Mikael says it is about 3hrs from Stockholm by train (1hr north of Gävle)
– Population is around 24k
– It is near the E4 (from Lisbeth’s bike chase)
By my reckoning, if it did exist, Hedestad would have to be somewhere near Sundsvall.
Are you going to go there and try to find it..?
[Translate]
Haha, if you transfer about a 100 bucks to my account. From Copenhagen to Stockholm is about a 6 hour train ride, and then 3 hours further north (?) – phew! That’s gonna cost, and I don’t have a Henrik Vanger as my sugar daddy
But I sometimes wish …

I’m planning to do a motorbike trip next year through Norway and Sweden.
I might have to make a detour and check it out myself…
