Whether your passion is art, music, design or food, Stockholm has plenty to offer even to the most discerning globetrotter. The city is built on 14 islands where Lake Malaren flows into the Baltic Sea and the Stockholm Archipelago is a unique maritime landscape of more than 30,000 islands.
In the center of the city is Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen, two islands that make up northern Europe's largest and best preserved medieval city dating back to the 13th century. Not to be missed is an evening enjoying a cocktail at the Absolut Ice Bar where the fixtures and glasses are made of ice - warm clothing provided by the bar. Easily accessible by boat from the heart of the city is Drottingholm Castle, the Versailles of the North and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Spring in Stockholm means a renewed vigor when flowers bloom and the city and its people take on a revived energy. Summer is, of course, the most glorious season when the sun dances on the glittering harbor waters and ferries carry locals and visitors out to the magical archipelago. Autumn brings vibrant colors and the air is invigorating while winter transforms the city into a shimmering landscape of snow and ice with warm lights glowing invitingly from within the windows. The city celebrates these changing seasons with a variety of holidays and festivals and if your visit coincides with one of these then you will doubtless find that your visit is even more special.
