Discover Stockholm

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden and located in the southeastern part of the country. It is called the Venice of the North, because the city center is located for the most part in the Riddarfjärden. The climate varies greatly from season to season because of its northern latitude, winter day lasts about six hours, while in summer it also lasts 18 hours.

In the city there are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Drottningholm Palace and Skogskyrkogården. The first, dating from the seventeenth century, is the residence of the Swedish royal family. The Garden of the castle boasts the Chinese Pavilion and the Drottningholm Theatre which houses the machinery in good condition and complete furnishings in the original scene of the eighteenth century and which are still regularly represented operas. The second site is the so-called World Heritage Woodland Cemetery, which was built by two young Swedish architects, and the use of the natural landscape had a strong influence on the conception of the cemeteries around the world. Among the most illustrious personages, we are buried: Greta Garbo, Ivar Lo-Johansson, Gunnar Asplund, Oscar AC Lund, Alma Johansson eLennart Skoglund. Among the major buildings and landmarks of the city we mention the Town Hall and the Royal Palace, the Church of Riddaholmen, the St. Catherine's Church and the Lutheran Cathedral, the Theatre Royal Dramatic Art and the Stockholm Concert Hall, many museums and various history, architecture, art and military.
