| Spread across 24,000 islets and laced with numerous waterways on the southeastern coast of Sweden, Stockholm enjoys one of the most stunning locales of any capital city in the world. Over 30% of the city area is made up of waterways and another 30% is made up of parks and green spaces, giving Stockholm perhaps the freshest air and widest lungs of any European capital. This natural oasis is complemented by the stunning old town, which was perfectly preserved by Sweden’s neutrality in World War II. This Old Town (Gamla Stan) is the epicentre of the city, with countless hotels, bars, restaurants and shops all prospering – as people in these historical streets have done for centuries. |

Away from the charms of the Old Town, the modern city showcases the neat and innovative design standards for which Sweden has become globally renowned. Much of Stockholm’s present day wealth comes from the new light industries, such as information technology and computing, with world leading companies often occupying prime real estate in the city centre or filling up the new business parks on the city fringes. All this is a far cry from the city’s humble beginnings, which stretch back to the 13th century and Birger Jarl – generally accepted as the founder of the city – although various settlements previously existed on the site. The city grew up around the Old Town, as Stockholm emerged as a key trading centre with influence all over the Baltic Sea region and further afield. Today Stockholm is a thriving modern European city that dispels all of the anachronistic images about dull Scandinavians. |
During the seemingly endless days and bright sunshine of the summer months, the
city’s chic boutiques and stylish pavement cafés overflow with the
‘beautiful people’, who enjoy the hedonistic culture and lifestyle that has
earned the Swedish capital rave reviews from Europe’s style magazines.
Stockholm’s ethnic make-up is, perhaps surprisingly, very eclectic with over
15% first generation immigrants and over 100 languages spoken in the city. This
increasing diversity has infused the city with a renewed vigour and energy, as
the various incoming cultures interact with the indigenous Swedes. A
quintessential Stockholm summer night is spent bathed in warm sunshine at a
restaurant by the water’s edge, savouring fresh seafood plucked straight from
the waters around Stockholm, before taking advantage of the midnight light and
heading out for a night around the Stureplan, hanging out in some of Europe’s
trendiest bars. When the long winter does come it is not all Nordic gloom –
the locals head for the sanctuary of the cosy pubs that line the city. Stockholm
has almost as many restaurants per capita as Paris does, as well as 150 or so
museums and galleries, so there is always plenty to do when the winter chill
sets in. Then there are the severe winters when many of the waterways around the
city freeze up, allowing the unique experience of ice skating around one of the
world’s most stunning capital cities.
