Touring the World’s Capital Cities Stockholm: The Capital of Sweden

Stockholm is a city that floats on water: the ‘Venice of the North’ was built on fourteen islands. Gamla Stan, or ‘Old Town’, is the name of the city’s three central islands that are linked by numerous bridges. Its ambience is that of the Middle Ages and small and mysterious alleys and beautiful buildings that date back to the 7th century characterize the life of the traders who once lived there.
