Stockholm
Stockholm, Sweden — what to do while your ship is in port.
Stockholm's Gamla Stan old town, with its narrow medieval streets and the Royal Palace, is the city's centerpiece. The Vasa Museum houses a nearly fully intact 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage, and the open-air Skansen museum offers a look at traditional Swedish life. Stockholm's setting across 14 islands makes a canal or archipelago boat tour a popular way to see the city.

Stockholm
Capital and most populous city of Sweden
Stockholm is the capital and most populous city of Sweden, as well as the largest urban area in the Nordic countries. Approximately 1 million people live in the municipality, with 1.6 million in the urban area, and 2.5 million in the metropolitan area. The city stretches across fourteen islands where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea. Outside the city to the east, and along the coast, is the island chain of the Stockholm archipelago. The area has been settled since the Stone Age, in the 6th millennium BC, and was founded as a city in 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl. The city serves as the county seat of Stockholm County.
