Experience the best of Stockholm
Stockholm is Sweden's capital, spread across islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, with a medieval old town, royal palaces and a vast archipelago.

Stockholm stands on fourteen islands joined by bridges, with water in nearly every view. Gamla Stan, the medieval Old Town, has cobbled lanes, the Royal Palace, the cathedral Storkyrkan and Stortorget square. The Vasa Museum houses a seventeenth-century warship that sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 and was raised in 1961, one of the best-preserved ships of its age.
Nearby on Djurgården, Skansen was the world's first open-air museum, with old farmsteads and Nordic animals. The red-brick City Hall hosts the Nobel banquet each December, and the metro's stations are decorated with sculpture, paintings and bare rock. Drottningholm Palace, a UNESCO-listed royal home, is on Lake Mälaren. Ferries thread the archipelago of thousands of islands, and Sigtuna and Uppsala are an hour or less to the north.
Swedish tables bring meatballs with lingonberry jam, gravlax, pickled herring and cinnamon buns, and the daily coffee-and-pastry break called fika. Summer evenings stay light and people head to the water; Midsummer in late June is the best-loved celebration. Winters are cold and dark, with Christmas markets and snow. June to August and the early autumn are the best seasons.
