Stockholm is spread over fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. Its medieval old town, waterfront palaces and green parks make it one of the most beautiful capitals in Europe.
Gamla Stan
Gamla Stan, the old town, has narrow cobbled lanes, colorful houses around the Stortorget square and the Royal Palace, where the changing of the guard takes place daily. Mårten Trotzigs gränd is the narrowest alley in the city.
Museums and islands
On the island of Djurgården, the Vasa Museum displays a 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage and was raised almost intact. Skansen is an open-air museum, and the ABBA Museum is nearby. Boats explore the archipelago of thousands of islands.
