Stockholm
A cosy agglomeration of 14 islands near the Baltic, Stockholm boasts of more than quaint streets and clever furniture. A pioneer of forward-thinking Scandinavian design and globally recognized startups, the capital of Sweden electrifies with brilliant splashes of colour and craftsmanship. On land or by boat, the vibrant Gamla Stan, medieval and lush Djurgården, and earthy shades of Södermalm are but a tantalizing fraction of Stockholm’s many sights and attractions.
