Stockholm
|
Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, and is made up of 14 islands connected by some 50 bridges on Lake Mälaren, which flows into the Baltic Sea and passes an archipelago with some 24,000 islands and islets.
The inner city is naturally divided into three major zones. The mainland north of Gamla Stan (consisting of Norrmalm, Vasastan and Östermalm) forms one district, the small island Gamla Stan and the large Södermalm another, and the island of Kungsholmen a separate district in the west.
Most attractions in Stockholm are found in what Stockholmers call "innerstaden", the inner city - historically the zone within the city tolls.
Visitors to the city can discover breathtaking medieval and Renaissance-era architecture, over 100 museums, government buildings, and shopping districts
