Stockholm is the capital and the largest city of Sweden and constitutes the most populated urban area in Scandinavia. It is the site of the national Swedish government, and the official residence of the Swedish monarch as well as the prime minister.

Sweden's capital is one of the most beautiful major cities in the world, a mirage of saffron- and terracotta-coloured buildings shimmering between blue water and blue skies all summer, or covered with snow and dotted with lights in winter. It's also a vibrant, modern city, famous for fashion and world-class nightclubs.

The old town, Gamla Stan, is a compact little maze of cobblestone streets.
The stucco walls of its red, orange and vanilla buildings sag toward each other exhaustedly over countless souvenir shops and ice-cream parlours, while the Royal Palace crowns the tiny island. Just to the south of Gamla Stan is another island neighbourhood, Södermalm, where high waterfront hills are graced by lovely old residences and the main streets are lined with bohemian shops, art galleries and clubs. On the other side of Gamla Stan is the main city centre, a buzzing metropolis whose boutiques and restaurants can hold their own against just about any big city on the continent.
