Stockholm is the vibrant capital of Sweden, nestled on 14 islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea.
It's a city that seamlessly blends medieval charm with modern innovation. Cobblestone streets lined with colorful buildings wind their way through Gamla Stan, the historic old town. The Royal Palace, the official residence of the Swedish monarch, is a must-see, as is the imposing Stockholm Cathedral.
For a taste of Viking history, head to the Vasa Museum, home to the world's only preserved 17th-century warship. Gamla Stan also boasts charming cafes and shops, perfect for a leisurely afternoon exploring.
If you're looking for a bit of green space, Djurgården island is a great option. Here you'll find Skansen, the world's oldest open-air museum, as well as Gröna Lund amusement park, a popular spot for families. And don't miss the opportunity to take a ride on the Ericsson Globe, a giant spherical building that offers stunning views of the city.
