I've added on my list : Ginja's stairs, The candy shop, The pool
Now I'm wondering how to get to these places :/ could you tell me where are them?
No problemo Eden, and thank you!
Blackeberg is a very small village, most of the novel's settings that aren't at the centrum are only a 5 to 15 minute walk from the centrum. Virginia's steps are actually right next to the station, but somewhere on this site is a nice overhead map that drakkar posted with all the relevant points of interest marked clearly. I will try to find it for you and put a link here when I get home and can use my pc rather than this phone, (unless someone else beats me to it.)
Cheers!
Yep! I just found the map!

Thank you so much for the helping!
Could you tell me something about the Luleå locations?

I think drakkar made a map for Luleå, too. It should be somewhere on this site...

Eden, I PMd you the locations, they are in the "Filming Location Candy Store" thread.
The pool is in Bastugatan 8, Eli vomits in Mjölkuddvägen 73, and Oskar&Eli lives in Södra Vretvägen 15 A&B
(My Mac is nowhere near a web contact, so this is a bit low tech).

Thank you again, drakkar (and sorry for the awful name mistake .__. ).
I'll take tons of pics (:

Blackeberg is really a suburb of Stockholm, and you reach it easily with the subway (the Blackeberg Subway station itself has a pretty prominent place in the story). I live not far from Blackeberg myself (in Solna) and provided I'm home I promise to take you on a tour of Blackeberg, otherwise you can easily get directions here on the forum.

Tack StefL, that would be wonderful! (: so here it is the proverbial Swedish kindness, huh?
Thank you a lot!

I can recommend StefL's Lindqvist tours! Nice people, and the program extends far beyond Blackeberg, even LTROI. There is Danderyds Sjukhus (Håkan hospitalised), Judarskogen (zombie-Håkan's last resting place before reaching Blackeberg). There is also The Heath and Flora's apartment from HtU, ans locations from Little Star.
You also get a very hearty breakfast, which made me able to walk about Blackeberg five hours before I even thought about food.

Tanks drakkar for those kind words! I'm also happy you didn't promise a royal wedding since that 's not something I can control myself

Well, there's still one marriageable princess left...
