A capital city floating on water in a stunning archipelago — ABBA, IKEA, and world-class museums.
Stockholm is built across 14 islands where the Baltic Sea and lakes meet — the city is one of the world's most beautifully situated capitals. Gamla Stan's medieval old town, the Vasa Museum with its sunken warship, and the green island of Djurgården create a perfect blend of history and nature. In Nordic design, food culture, and quality of life, Stockholm leads.
