Description
Thanks to its unique location between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea, Stockholm can be called one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. Tourism strategists once declared Stockholm the "capital of Scandinavia." And rightly so! No other city in Northern Europe harmoniously combines urban life, the hustle and bustle of a metropolis, the intimacy of a medieval old town, and idyllic seclusion. Founded in the 13th century between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea, the city is divided by water and connected by 57 bridges that link fourteen islands. In addition to the blue of the sea, green predominates in Stockholm. Parks, both large and small, are everywhere: there is Djurgarden, the world's first urban national park, Blecktornsparken, Vita Bergen, and Langholmen in Söder, as well as Kronobergsparken in Kungsholmen, Humlegarden in Östermalm, and Tegnerlunden, Vasaparken, and Vanadislunden in Vasastan. Stockholm is a true paradise for cyclists and pedestrian visitors.
