Stockholm

Stockholm

A clean, green city of islands

Made up of 14 islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea, Stockholm is easily the most beautiful capital city in Scandinavia. From the cliffs of Söder to the shores of the Old Town, the city offers spectacular watery views at every turn. Efficient public transportation, or your own two feet, take you to more than 70 museums, numerous shops selling the latest in Nordic design, and gourmet restaurants doing surprising things with lingonberries.
