Built on 14 islands, Stockholm is an exceptionally attractive city at the juncture of Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea. The city’s Old Town is a maze of narrow medieval streets dotted with baroque mansions, while elsewhere the architecture ranges from the 18th-century Royal Palace to cutting-edge contemporary structures. Kungliga Djurgården, the “Royal Game Park,” is a leafy oasis. Stureplan and Kungsgatan are Stockholm’s main entertainment districts and Södermalm, an island south of the city center, is a hotbed of fashion. Skeppsholmen island, home to the Rafael Moneo-designed museum of modern art, is positioned at the city’s Baltic Sea entrance. Despite being surrounded by the city and connected to its center by a bridge, it is a peaceful place with no major roads and few cars. Stockholm’s restaurants have been leaders in the New Nordic food revolution, focusing on fresh and local ingredients interpreted in modern ways.
