Sweden's Stockholm is a cool, smart, clean and... |
Sweden
|
...well preserved capital city, whether it's royal buildings... |
...or the little old town centre of Gamla Stan.

Scandinavia's
most handsome, sophisticated and liveliest city, Stockholm, offers the
cleanest air in Europe due to its unique location on fourteen islands
surrounded by water, with parks and gardens liberally scattered around.
This 700 year-old 'Northern Venice' has wide, calm streets lined with
magnificent buildings both modern and medieval, more than seventy museums
and a good selection of cafes and restaurants serving rather dull food.
Everything in the city is within easy walking distance, most people speak
perfect English and the summer's midnight sun makes Stockholm city a great
destination for short tourist breaks or longer stays to take in a bit
of the rest of Sweden, but try to avoid August's crowds, heat and rain.
