Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. The city is made up of 14 islands connected by 50 bridges on Lake Mälaren, which flows into the Baltic Sea and passes an archipelago with some 24,000 islands and islets.
The city's a very lively, cosmopolitan place with modern Scandinavian architecture, a captivating Old Town and lots of green space.
Most attractions in Stockholm are found in inner city - historically the zone within the city tolls.
Outside the inner city, the city has a typically suburban character. The Municipality of Stockholm extends to the northwest and to the south. To the north the municipality borders the towns of Solna and Danderyd and to the east Nacka and the island of Lidingö.
Sweden's stunning capital has a picturesque setting that makes the city unique. The difference between seasons is quite large; the summers are green with mild nights, and the winters dark, cold, rainy and sometimes snowy. Stockholm has fairly mild temperatures throughout the year. As a result of its northerly latitude, the city sees a huge seasonal variation in sunlight, from more than 18 hours of daylight around midsummer, to approximately 6 hours of daylight in late December.
