Stockholm is a cosmopolitan city with both classical and modern architecture, and of course a captivating Old Town, Gamla Stan. This oldest part of Stockholm is made up from three islands: Riddarholmen, Staden and Helgeandsholmen.

“It is not a city at all. It is ridiculous to think of itself as a city. It is simply a rather large village, set in the middle of some forest and some lakes. You wonder what it thinks it is doing there, looking so important.”

Ingmar Bergman
