Stockholm Links
A city on water Sweden's beautiful capital has a picturesque setting that makes the city unique. Founded in the 13th century, it was built at the strategic point where the vast Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. The central part of Stockholm spreads over 14 islands connected by some 50 bridges. The islands are continuous with the Stockholm archipelago, a cluster of 24,000 islands and islets.

Stockholm is known for its beauty, its buildings and architecture, its abundant clean and open water, and its many parks. Over 30% of the city area is made up of waterways and another 30% is made up of parks and green spaces. The water is so clean that you can drink it and catch salmon in the middle of the city. The difference between seasons is quite large, the summers green with mild light nights, and the winters dark, cold and often snowy.

Stockholm is a lively cosmopolitan place with both modern Scandinavian architecture and fairytale towers. Stockholm's oldest section is the Old Town (Gamla Stan), one of the best preserved medieval city centres in the world. With its 750 year history and rich cultural life, Stockholm offers a wide selection of world-class museums and attractions. Most of the city's attractions can be reached on foot, and there's a good chance of experiencing a lot of things in a short time. Visitors will also find great shopping, quality eateries in abundance, fabulous standard hotels and an internationally renowned music scene.
