STRETCHING ACROSS FOURTEEN ISLANDS where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea, Sweden’s stylish capital is a city of contrasts. In the historic Gamla Stan district, you will find medieval architecture and cobblestone streets fit for a fairytale, while the other side of the city is home to world-class galleries, trendy restaurants and modern boutiques.
TOP THINGS TO SEE & DO
STOCKHOLM PALACE: The official residence of the King of Sweden, the palace has 600 rooms and offers five museums, including the Royal Armoury. It was built during the 18th century in the Italian Baroque style.
THE VASA MUSEUM: A maritime museum displaying the only (almost) fully intact 17thcentury ship that has ever been salvaged — the 64-gun warship, Vasa, that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628.
