Beloved by both Stockholmers and visitors, Djurgården is a tranquil oasis in the middle of Stockholm. The island has been in possession of the crown since the 15th century. Like no other place in Stockholm it collects many of the city’s most famous museums and cultural attractions (the Vasa Museum, Gröna Lund, the Abba museum and Skansen to name a few) with green nature, parks, and family-friendly activities. Djurgården can be reached by bus, tram or ferry from central Stockholm. Though on a beautiful summer day a walk along Strandvägen, from The Royal Dramatic Theatre to Djurgårdsbron, is highly recommended.

Stockholm Palace, officially the Royal Palace, has existed in the same place at Norrström on the northeastern Stadsholmen in Stockholm since the latter half of the 13th century. Its first century history belongs to the medieval Tre Kronor castle complex. In modern times, the term refers to the building called the Royal Palace, the one of the royal palaces in the country located in the Old Town district in Stockholm. The castle is the official residence of the Swedish monarch and fortifications have been located on this site since the Middle Ages. The current castle building was designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger and was built on the site after the old Tre Kronor Castle had been destroyed in a fierce fire on May 7, 1697. Due to the Great Nordic War, which was started by Saxe-Poland, Denmark and Russia 1700 and used enormous Swedish resources, construction work stopped completely in 1709 and only resumed in 1727 – six years after the end of the war. When Tessin died in 1728, the castle was completed under the direction of Carl Hårleman, who designed many of the castle's original Rococo interiors.

Stockholm is Sweden's capital
Stockholm is Sweden's capital and the country's cultural, political, media and economic center. The city is located at the outlet of Mälaren in the Baltic Sea, on the border between the provinces of Södermanland and Uppland.
Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
The Swedish capital is special because of the mix of culture, nature and city. What I also love is that all different districts in Stockholm have their own character, this makes it a city where you won't get bored easily. In my opinion it's one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it should be on everyone's bucket list.
