    Stockholm and the Stockholm Archipelago

    Stockholm is without a doubt one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. Magnificent buildings are combined with green oases of parks and water. It exudes the harmonious proportions and calm, majestic beauty of the Swedish capital.

    The city arose more than 700 years ago in a unique place where a sea bay indented by bays touches Lake Mälaren. Currently, the central part of Stockholm is spread over 14 islands, connected by 57 bridges. Water is the most important part of the urban landscape – and occupies about a third of the city’s total area.

    The entire city is located on rocks of varying heights, which gives the views of Stockholm extraordinary beauty. Another important part of the city are gardens, parks and boulevards. Stockholm is rightfully considered the greenest capital of Europe.
