About Stockholm

The city of Stockholm straddles a group of 14 islands on the south-east coast of Sweden. With the highest population in Scandinavia the city is the capital of Sweden and renowned for its beautiful architecture and areas of green space set amongst unpolluted waters. The city is often referred to as 'The Venice of the North'. Culturally diverse, the people are famed for their friendliness and the restaurants, cafes and boutique shops are considered second to none. The city plays host to well over 100 museums and art galleries attracting huge numbers of tourists. Gamla Stan, the old city, is laid out along mediaeval lines complete with cobbled streets and contrasts with the more modern buildings that have sprung up around it. An archipelago of islands that lie just south of the city are a popular tourist destination offering opportunities for outdoor pursuits.
