The beautiful capital of Sweden is built on 14 islands and has one of the biggest and best conserved medieval city centres, ‘Gamla Stan’. You are here met by a mix of old and new, contemporary and tradition. Best of all is that everything is within walking distance. There are things to be discovered for everybody in Stockholm, as for instance ‘Vasamuseet’ with the royal flagship ‘Vasa’ from 1628, the biggest royal palace in northern Europe, Stockholms Kungliga Slott, and narrow alleys with great shopping, restaurants and coffee shops in ‘Gamla Stan’.

You will find a large variety of restaurants for every purse and if you are interested in food the market places of  Stockholm, ‘Östermalmshallen’, ‘Hötorgshallen’ and ‘Söderhallen’, are a definite must.

The hotels are many and varied and generally of good quality. If you want to know more please visit http://www.stockholmtown.com/
