Stockholm is located on Sweden’s south-central east coast, where the freshwater Lake Mälaren — Sweden’s third largest lake — flows out into the Baltic Sea. The central parts of the city consist of fourteen islands that are continuous with the Stockholm archipelago.
The geographical city centre is situated on the water, in Riddarfjärden bay. Over 30% of the city area is made up of waterways and another 30% is made up of parks and green spaces.
Despite being spread across 14 islands, Stockholm’s 57 bridges mean it is well-connected and essentially compact. Each neighbourhood has a distinct character, yet they’re close enough together you can easily spend time in several areas. In each, you’ll find trend-setting design, inventive cuisine, unbeatable museums, great shopping, pretty parks and loads of atmosphere.
The old town, Gamla Stan, is a saffron-and-spice vision from the storybooks with one of Europe’s most arresting historic hubs with imposing palaces and razor-thin cobblestone streets. Just a few metres from this time capsule, the modern city centre shines like the pages of a magazine. Not the mention the city is surrounded by pristine forests and a vast archipelago.
