Information
About Stockholm
Situated on a magnificent archipelago stretching all the way to
the Baltic Sea, Stockholm, is a city of impressive beauty both
natural and man-made. With over 60% of the city area consisting
of waterways, parks and green spaces, Stockholm is one of the most
stunning capital cities of the world steeped in tradition and history
with a splendid architectural heritage.
Despite the fact that almost 1.6 million people live in the greater
Stockholm area, it retains the feel of a relaxed almost laid-back city,
characterised by bridges, towers and steeples, cobbled squares and
beautiful parks. The pages of Europe's style magazines understandably
groan under the weight of material generated by Stockholm's chic café
society lifestyle. Throughout the almost endless days of bright summer
sunshine, the city's stylish bars, clubs and pavement cafés buzz with
activity on into the small hours. Even when the Nordic winter closes in
there are plenty of diversions to be had. Skating around the city on frozen
waterways is a unique and unforgettable experience.
The modern city is a monument to the high design standards that characterise
Sweden on the international stage. The information revolution is very much at
home in these surroundings with many leading companies taking up prime
locations in the city centre and the new business parks on the outskirts of
the city contributing much to the city's prosperity.
