The vibrant Swedish capital is located on fourteen islands linked by bridges. A vibrant energy permeates the entire city, yet a picturesque old town makes time appear to stand still. It’s the ideal blend of the old and the new. Old Town (Gamla Stan) is the oldest part of Stockholm. It has some of the most picturesque old towns in Scandinavia, complete with quaint cobblestone streets, hip cafes, and boutiques. The Royal Palace, the official residence of His Majesty the King, stands smack dab in the midst of these historic lanes. Storkyrkan is Stockholm’s oldest cathedral; you may also see the palace’s residential quarters. Alternatively, you can travel outside of the city to Uppsala, home to the world-renowned library that houses the Gothic Silver Bible.
