About StockholmOne will always find what to do here.
“The Queen of Lake Malaren”, “The Venice of the North”, “The City which Floats on the Water” those are names suiting the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Sweden. Its unbroken tradition, its position on the water, its surrounding heights witness the circumstance that, this splendid town was always in the center of events and still leads the pulsating life of a metropolis. Stockholm is a medieval city founded according to the unanimous opinion of historians by Birger Jarl, a famous national leader who fortified the islet located at the outlet of Lake Malaren in the Baltic in the 13th century, thus creating a mighty, impregnable fortress. The capital is built on innumerable islands and islets floating on large bodies of water. Stockholms beauty is underlined by streams and creeks and bays, by green open spaces such as Djurgarden, the old royal deerhunting park with its famous oaks, by central parks such as Vasaparken, Kungstradgarden and Humlegarden, the old hop garden of bydone times. One will always find what to do here.
The large Baltic archipelago with its 25 000 islands is an ideal retreat for a relaxing week-end. Like ancient Rome, Stockholm is built on hills. The sightseer has a supreme breathtaking view from the dominant heights of Sodermalm all over the nothern area. In central Stockholm, the remnants of the Brunkeberg ridge which in times passed towered above Lower Norrmalm are now cut away to make room for huge skyscrapers in the city centre. However the historical tradition of seven centuries has lent a distinct touch to the capital of Sweden. Wonderfully situated, the city made a great trade centre very quickly, and it still keeps its activity. The symbiosis of ancient and modern in Stockholm is unique. Stockholm is a place where traditions were successfully completed with innovations. One will always find what to do here.
