Stockholm Overview
Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, encompasses 14 islands and more
than 50 bridges on an extensive Baltic Sea archipelago. The cobblestone
streets and ochre-colored buildings of Gamla Stan (the old town) are
home to the 13th-century Storkyrkan Cathedral, the Kungliga Slottet
Royal Palace and the Nobel Museum, which focuses on the Nobel Prize.
Ferries and sightseeing boats shuttle passengers between the islands.
