Stockholm is a city on water and light, stretched on many islands at the confluence of Lake Milaren into the Baltic Sea. Its history goes back to the Middle Ages, and the narrow streets of Gamla Stan, majestic palaces and modern embankments create a unique atmosphere: it combines royal solemnity, maritime character and cozy green corners, in which it is easy to get lost and fall in love with the city again.
Man-made sights of Stockholm amaze with diversity: the Royal Palace with more than six hundred rooms, the Drottningholm Palace – the residence of the royal family and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the VASA Museum with a restored combat ship, Storchurcan Cathedral and St. James’ Church, the ancient Gamla Stan Square and Jarl Birger Square. Museums and parks are concentrated on Jurgården: the Nordiska Museum, the island museum and the Unibaken Children’s Museum, and nearby there are famous sculptures and monuments – Charles XII, Gustav III, the monument “No to Violence” and many modern art objects. For lovers of entertainment, the Gröna Lund Park is open, and architectural and engineering examples are represented by the Jurgordsbrunn and Arstabroarna bridges and the modern Friends Arena stadium.
The natural gems of the city and surroundings are no less impressive: the spacious Tegnerlunden parks and the ecopark on Jurgården, the picturesque promenades of Strandwegen and Slussen, views of the Baltic Sea and the islands of the archipelago, quiet green alleys and coastal walking areas. The city seems to breathe nature: from small squares and coastal walks to large parks and sea spaces – in Stockholm it is easy to find both a secluded place for meditation and a picturesque point for a photo shoot.
