Description
One third asphalt, one third nature, one third water." This is how Anna, a teacher from Kungsholmen, describes Stockholm. The Swedish capital enchants with its sense of balance and maximizes its location between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea. History and Present In the 13th century, Regent Birger Magnusson decided to build a fortress here to protect against invaders. Today, Stockholm is a royal capital with magnificent palaces and rich museums. Tourists can enjoy walks along the waterfront, swimming at the beaches, and boat trips among 14 islands connected by 57 bridges. Main Districts Start in the historic district of Gamla Stan, where the city's history began in the early 13th century. Discover the industrial Norrmalm, the elegant Östermalm with its designer shops, and the green Djurgarden with the best museums. On the southern island of Södermalm, you'll find hipster cafes, organic gardens, and red wooden houses. Nature and City Stockholm offers simplicity and a connection between nature and urbanism. In summer, enjoy the sun and swimming in the water canals, while in winter, savor winter delights with warm cinnamon brioche. The Swedish metropolis is charming in every season.
