Welcome to one of the most beautiful cities of the worldWelcome to Stockholm, the Royal Capital of Sweden. Discover a city like no other - a city built on 14 islands, where you are never far from the water. Well-preserved medieval buildings stand alongside modern architecture. Stockholm is also home of the Nobel Prize. And just outside the city, the archipelago of 24 000 islands is waiting to be explored.Stockholm is a city of contrasts - water and islands, history and innovation, small town and big city, short winter days and long, light summer nights - with a dazzling array of impressions. Thanks to the city´s compact size, you can see and do most things in a short space of time - which makes it a perfect destination for city breaks or longer stays, all the year round. Discover a city of contrasts. Go back 750 years in time and feel the medieval atmosphere of the Old Town "Gamla Stan" as you wander through the narrow streets. Stockholm has got history - but also the latest in fashion and IT. 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 most obvious on the island of Sodermalm, a hotbed of fashion, young culture and entertainment.Stockholm is one third water, one third green belts and one third city. The island of Djurgarden, the worlds first National City Park, is only a short walk from the pulse of the inner city. Stockholmers and visitors alike come here to relax in the leafy shade and rest their eyes on green.In Sweden, the seasons are another contrast. Light summer nights when the sun barely dips below the horizon and short, snowy winter days. Because the city changes with every season and there is always something special to do, Stockholm is worth visiting at any time of year.Stockholm's climateThe climate in Stockholm is extremely varied and every season has its particular charm. In recent years, winter in Stockholm has brought heavy snowfalls, even downtown. In January and February, there can be snowstorms, cold weather and bright sunshine, as well as rain and sleet in milder temperatures. The latter are most noticeable in March. At the beginning of April, spring begins to make a long-awaited entrance and a month later, both the birches and the citys many outdoor cafs begin to blossom. Stockholms parks fill with both Stockholmers and tourists. Summer comes some time in June, and by Midsummers Eve, it should definitely have arrived. During the summer months, July and August, the water in Stockholm stays at an invitingly warm temperature, making it perfect for bathing. In September, summer turns into fall as the leaves change from green to red. On the longest day of the year (June 21), the sun goes up at 3:31 AM and sets at 10:08 PM. It is never completely dark between the middle of June and the middle of July. On the shortest day of the year, December 22, the sun doesnt rise until 8:44 AM and disappears from the horizon at 2:49 PM.The highest temperature ever recorded in Stockholm was +38C; the lowest was -32C.This is Stockholm!Stockholm is centrally situated in Northern Europe.
