Discover Stockholm (Sweden)


Sweden s stylish capital Stockholm is a stunning collection of 14 islands connected by a staggering 57 bridges. Dubbed the 'Venice of the north', the city's tranquil green spaces and sparkling waterside views invite leisurely strolls and boat tours around the archipelago. In the city's magical historical quarter, Gamla Stan, medieval streets that are tightly packed with colourful buildings, house enticing restaurants and cosy cellar cafes. This labyrinth of narrow streets coil around the city's oldest square, Stortorget, from which runs Stockholm's oldest street, the atmospheric K'pmangatan. Presiding over Gamla Stan is the majestic Royal Palace and official residence of the King of Sweden, a grandiose property that showcases magnificent Italian Baroque-style architecture. Moments from the urban centre, yet seemingly a million miles away, is the Royal National City Park, the world's first national urban park and home to an astonishing array of wildlife and nature.
