"The Fine City" Stockholm by t_cims

Welcome to one of the most beautiful cities of the world
Welcome to Stockholm, the Royal Capital of Sweden. Discover a city like no other - a city built on 14 islands, where you are never far from the water. Well-preserved medieval buildings stand alongside modern architecture. Stockholm is also home of the Nobel Prize. And just outside the city, the archipelago of 24 000 islands is waiting to be explored.

Experience Stockholm´s many contrasts
Discover a city of contrasts. Go back 750 years in time and feel the medieval atmosphere of the Old Town "Gamla Stan" as you wander through the narrow streets. Stockholm has got history - but also the latest in fashion and IT. The trendy Stockholmers are often used as a test market by international companies, as they are quick to pick up on the latest trends. This is most obvious on the island of Södermalm, a hotbed of fashion, young culture and entertainment.

Stockholm is one third water, one third green belt and one third city. The island of Djurgården, the world´s first National City Park, is only a short walk from the pulse of the inner city. Stockholmers and visitors alike come here to relax in the leafy shade and rest their eyes on green.

Restaurants & Nightlife

Like all big cities, the Swedish capital offers a huge variety of food and drink. Stockholmers’ increased interest in the culinary delights over the course of one generation is dramatically evident in the current abundance of eating establishments. No matter what kind of cuisine you prefer, be it Asian or North American, Mediterranean or Swedish, you will never go hungry in Stockholm
