A city built on 14 islands, where the Baltic Sea meets Lake Malaren. Stockholm is deservedly called "Beauty on Water". Indeed, that water is so pure that you can swim or fish right in the city centre! The oldest and most beautiful of the islands is 'Gamla Stan' -the Old Town.Gamla Stan is made up of medieval alleyways and cobbled streets, and features many fascinating old buildings which now house shops and restaurants. The Royal Palace's Treasury and Armoury are open to visitors.Elsewhere, places to visit include City Hall, where the annual Nobel prizes are awarded, and the 755m Kaknds Tower. |
