Stockholm, one of the most beautiful capitals in the world, is built on 14 islands connected by more than 50 bridges. The city is lively, cosmopolitan but has a very special character with beautiful buildings, greenery, fresh air and a unique closeness to water and nature. The 750 year history and rich cultural life of Stockholm is also well reflected and well integrated into the city. One of the best preserved medieval city centers in the world is
The Old Town of Stockholm. Just outside of Stockholm there is a wonderful archipelago with at least 20,000 islands and islets, easily accessed by different
boat sightseeing tours starting from Stockholm city.
Stockholm offers a wide collection of attractions, some of them are;
The Royal Palace (official residence of the Swedish King, more than 600 rooms),
The City Hall of Stockholm (the main symbol for the capital of Sweden),
Vasa Museet (magnificent 17th century vessel and all the objects found with it),
