I&#8217;ve heard horror stories of FRA because of how big the terminals are. After this experience I would have to agree it is exactly as they say. Even though I had about two hours to make my connection, I ended up waiting about 45 mins just to pass through passport control before dashing all the way to my gate. I was honestly the second last person to board and I was just relieved that I managed to make it on the plane.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was only when I got to ARN that I realized my luggage did <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> make it on the flight and was still stuck at FRA. (T__T) They couldn&#8217;t confirm an actual ETA for my bag so I ended up just leaving the airport with only my carry-on. Since I had to stay longer than anticipated to file my baggage claim, I didn&#8217;t actually make it out to the city until 5:30pm. By then it was too late to visit the Vasa Museum, which was where I had planned to go that evening. <\/p>\n<p>Instead of just wasting the night away, I decided to go for a nice dinner at a restaurant called Nomad Bar. I had read their reviews online and a lot of people recommended their Swedish meatballs and their herring and cheese appetizer. I was definitely too ambitious ordering both, but it was a very good first meal in Sweden. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/meatballs.jpg\" alt=\"Meatballs\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/meatballs.jpg 500w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/meatballs-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/meatballs-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Prior to heading back for the night, I made a quick visit to Gamla Stan just as the sun was starting to set.
