Stockholm
Stockholm is regarded as one of the most beautiful capitals in the world and it’s not hard to see why. It is built on 14 islands and lies between Lake Mälaren in the west and the Baltic Sea in the East. Nearly a third of the total area of Stockholm is parks and green areas, with another third water. The buildings are old and well preserved since Stockholm was one of the few big cities in Europe that was not destroyed during World War II. The city is clean, with less pollution than virtually any other city of similar size in the world. The water is so clean that you can go for a swim downtown; fishing is popular from one of the 55 bridges connecting the islands that make up the city.
In 2002, Stockholm celebrated 750 years as a city.
