Stockholm Private Tours
Stockholm is one of Europe's most well-balanced cities for visitors. It combines waterways, green spaces, and historic architecture in a compact, walkable capital. Whether you prefer culture, nature, food, or history, Stockholm has something for you.
- Built across 14 islands, connected by 57 bridges
- Over 30% of the city is green space, mostly woods and forests
- Winner of the European Green Capital Award 2010
- Founded in the 1200s; a historic trading and cultural hub
- Home to a thriving business and design scene
Stockholm's nickname is the 'Venice of the North'. Its canals and waterways wind through the city, with Lake Mälaren to the west and the Baltic Sea to the east. In warmer months, swimming in open water is common across the city.
