Stockholm Stockholm is the capital and the largest city of Sweden. Founded in c. 1250, possibly as early as 1187, Stockholm has long been one of Sweden's cultural, media, political, and economic centres. Its strategic location on 14 islands on the coast in the south-east of Sweden has been historically important. Stockholm is known for its beauty, its buildings and architecture, its abundant clean and open water, and its many parks. It is sometimes referred to as Venice of the North. The Nobel Banquet takes place at Stockholm City Hall every year on December 10. Stockholm is the site of the national Swedish government, the Parliament of Sweden (riksdagen), the Supreme Court of Sweden, and the official residence of the Swedish monarch as well as the prime minister
Some of the Stockholm sites are not in this gallery but have got their own galleries and virtual tours, among others, Stockholm's City Hall, Vasa Museum, Drottningholm Palace Park, Ulriksdal Palace Park. To see them visit their dedicated virtual tours in the Gallery.

Järntorget, Stockholm

At the Iron Market (Square) you will also find Sundberg's pastry (Sundbergs Konditori), which was founded in 1785 and claims to be Stockholm's oldest. 2012-07-18
