Stockholm: Beauty On The Water

The capital of Sweden is also known as the “Beauty on the Water”. And is aptly named as Stockholm stretches over 14 islands and still gives an impression of rural paradise.

The viewpoint Fjällgatan, also called balcony, grants a special view of the old town Gamla Stan and the amusement park Gröna Lund.

If you want to immerse yourself in the history of Sweden, Skansen, the oldest open-air museum in the world, is the place to visit. Swedish buildings of all social classes from the 16th century onwards are exhibited here. As well as various tame and wild animals.
