Build on 14 islands, Stockholm is a is a paradise for people who love boating, sailing, or cruising. Stockholm Sweden's largest city and the trendy Stockholmers are often used as a test market by international companies, as they are quick to pick up on the latest trends. This is the most obvious on the island of Sodermalm, a hotbed of fashion, young culture and entertainment.
The leafy island of Djurgarden is one of Stockholm�s most visited areas and for good reason, boasting wonderful parklands and a concentration of fine museums. A stroll through the narrow cobbled streets of the old town �Gamla Stan� is always worthwhile, contrasting with the rest of the stylish city centre, which offers great scope for shopping and eating - the big department stores and fashion boutiques mixing with plenty of cafes and restaurants.
There are over 100 museums to choose from, including the Vasa Museum charting Stockholm�s maritime history and housing the magnificent Vasa warship. Sinking spectacularly in the 17th century, the Vasa, was raised in the early 60�s and the museum built around the warship, it being too fragile to transport. Skansen Open Air Museum is a themed village in the middle of the city with buildings dating back to different periods of Swedish history. Visit the Icebar � the world�s first permanent ice bar. Open all year round at the Nordic Sea Hotel, the bar maintains a constant temperature of �5�C, a little touch from the famous Icehotel in Lapland.
