Stockholm – more than Venice of the North
Many tourist who had the chance to travel the capital city of Sweden often say that the popular description is correct—Stockholm is the Venice of the North. But to say so means that the largest city in Sweden, and arguably also the most beautiful, is nothing more than a shadow to Venice. Of course, Venice is a gorgeous city. However, Stockholm should not be compared to other cities, since it offers incredible natural beauty and incomparable sights and sounds. It is also a very important city not just for Sweden but also the whole of Europe.
In other words, nothing can compare to Stockholm.
Stockholm, as Sweden’s capital, serves as the site of the Swedish government. It was also the residence of the monarchs of Sweden. It is the country’s most populous city, with around 2 million inhabitants all in all. As the center of all things political, cultural, and media-related, there is no doubt that Stockholm is the premier tourist destination in the country. And this is without basis: with more than one million tourists visiting the city every year, Stockholm, according to Euromonitor, is the second most visited Nordic city. With all the attractions it has to offer, it isn’t surprising why millions travel to Sweden to visit Stockholm.
Stockholm became Sweden’s capital city mainly because of one factor: its waterways. With almost one third of the city covered in water, it played a vital part in the history of Sweden. Now, it is known for holding and awarding the Nobel Prize Price, which perhaps is one of the reasons why the country—and the city of Stockholm—was catapulted into worldwide renown.
