A Few Facts
Stockholm is the capital and most populous city of Sweden, as well as the largest urban area in the Nordic countries. The Stockholm region is home to around 22% of Sweden's total population - approximately 1 million people live in the municipality.
Over 30% of the city area is made up of waterways and another 30% is made up of parks and green spaces. The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl.
Considered a global city, it is the largest in Scandinavia and the main centre for corporate headquarters in the Nordic region. The city is home to some of Europe's top ranking universities and it hosts the annual Nobel Prize ceremonies.
One of the city's most prized museums, the Vasa Museum, is the most visited museum in Scandinavia. The Stockholm metro, opened in 1950, is well known for the decor of its stations; it has been called the longest art gallery in the world. Stockholm Palace is the official residence and principal workplace of the Swedish monarch.
