Stockholm guide

Welcome to Stockholm, one of the world’s most beautiful capitals. Built on 14 islands around one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved mediaeval city centres, the Swedish capital is superbly positioned, with stunning and extremely varied scenery in every direction. Stockholm offers a wealth of museums, theatres, sights, attractions and events. Stockholm is centrally situated in Northern Europe. The city is built on 14 islands, where the lake Mälaren opens up into the Baltic Sea. If the City of Stockholm had been a company we would have made it to Financial Times' 500-list over the largest enterprises in the world. The capital's service organisation employes close to 49,000 people and has a revenue of SEK 46.3 billion in 2006. Facts • The Capital of Sweden, located in Northern Europe • Approx. 782,000 city inhabitants and 1.9 million habitants in the region • Knowledge based economy and home of some of the worlds largest multinationals • Municipal services as childcare, school, elderly care, social service, technical administration, housing, environmental work…

Stockholm, built on 14 islands is situated where Lake Mälaren opens up into the Baltic Sea. 30% of the central Stockholm area consists of water which explains why Stockholm is often called the “Venice of the North”. Stockholm is also a very green city; more than 40 % of the land owned by the City is made up of parks and open spaces. Stockholm is one of Europe's leading economic regions with its high concentration of information technology, health care industry and research.
