Luxury Cruises to Stockholm, Sweden

Voyage to the City on the Water

Lively, cosmopolitan Stockholm sports an appealing mix of modern Scandinavian architecture and fairy tale palaces, watched over by a Board of Beauty, responsible for preserving the city.

One third of its area is devoted to green space, and another third to waterways, providing lots of room to breathe.

Gamla Stan is the oldest section, retaining the medieval layout of narrow meandering paths.

For the contemporary take there's Sodermalm, known trendily as SoFo, with welcoming restaurants and pubs, specialty shops, and boutiques. Stieg Larson fans hang out here, as it is the area of the city where most action in the Millennium novels takes place.
