Often called the “Venice of the North”, Stockholm lies on several islands and peninsulas at the outflow of Lake Mälar into the Baltic, which forms a deep inlet. The charm of its setting lies in the intermingling of land and water; the skerries fringing the coast, the crags rearing up from the sea, the intricate pattern of waterways encompassing the city. The capital of Sweden has two UNESCO World Heritage sites: Birka and the Woodland Cemetery. In addition, world-class museums, theatres, galleries, and the Nobel Institute await you. Join us for an adventure in the city centre to find out more about the history of this Scandinavian beauty.
