Stockholm
Built on fourteen islands around one of Europe's largest and best-preserved medieval city centers, Stockholm is superbly positioned, with stunning and extremely varied scenery in every direction. To the west, Lake Malaren branches out among lush, idyllic landscapes. To the east the magnificent Stockholm archipelago stretches seaward, an enchanting maritime world of more than 24,000 islands and islets. The Old Town is particularly spectacular, and walking around the city's waterways and parks is a glorious way to spend a weeklong stretch of European summer.
