Stockholm is widely celebrated as nothing less than one of the world’s most beautiful cities, built where lake meets sea, on fourteen islands, with nine centuries of history and culture. Stockholm is a city of contrasts – a cutting-edge metropolis that often comes across as stunningly contemporary. Still, its striking modernity coexists happily with ancient customs and traditions that many visitors find unique and exotic.
Another quality that makes Stockholm so special is the city’s ability to live on nature’s terms. Vast green areas don’t just surround the city, they permeate it. Few other places let you experience the pleasures and allures of nature, urban sophistication and cultural history, all in a single day.
Come and experience this unique quality of life! Stockholm - The Capital of Scandinavia.
Stockholm is overflowing with experiences and sights, whether your game is art and culture, history, shopping, theater and entertainment, or nature. And if it’s all of the above, even better! In Stockholm you can combine vastly diverse experiences and pleasures on one and the same day.
Stockholm is one of Europe’s leading cities for international events and congresses. The most widely known of the annual events is the Nobel Banquet on December 10, with awards ceremony in the Concert Hall and the banquet in the City Hall. Only for laureates and specially invited, but there are of course lots of other public events. You can keep up with the Stockholm action on www.stockholmtown.com and the What’s On guide.
