Stockholm
Often called "the Venice of the North", Sweden's
capital city was founded in 1187. Its eclectic
architecture juxtaposes the ancient with the
ultra-modern, and yet somehow it all works
perfectly. To really know the city, you should
amble through the Gamla Stan ("Old Town") and
see Renaissance structures like the Royal Palace
and Parliament. Stockholm embraces the
performing arts; enjoy its opera, ballet and
philharmonic orchestra. For the more athletic,
there are dozens of downhill ski slopes nearby
and many paths for hikers and cyclists. |
