Stockholm

Stockholm sprawls across 14 islands connected by bridges and ferries, making water central to the city's character. Gamla Stan, the medieval Old Town, features narrow cobblestone streets, colorful merchant houses, and the Royal Palace on Slottsbacken. The Vasa Museum houses the 17th-century warship Vasa, preserved after sinking in 1628, while Skansen open-air museum on Djurgården island displays Nordic architecture and wildlife across 75 acres. Södermalm neighborhood attracts residents and visitors with independent boutiques along Folkungagatan, vintage shops on Nytorget, and cafés throughout its residential streets. Norrmalm contains the central business district and Sergels Torg plaza, while Östermalm offers upscale dining and shopping on Stureplan and Biblioteksgatan. The Stockholm archipelago extends eastward with 30,000 islands; ferries depart regularly from Strömkajen for day trips to Vaxholm and Grinda. Drottningholm Palace, the royal residence on the western outskirts, sits on an island accessible by metro and boat.
