Stockholm
Royal culture and relaxed lifestyle
The Swedish capital is one of the most beautiful metropolises in Northern Europe - perfect for a city break by train. Stockholm enchants with its unique location on 14 islands, connected by bridges and ferries, and offers a successful mix of royal flair, creative design, nature and urban quality of life. Whether a stroll through the medieval old town Gamla Stan, a visit to the innovative museums or relaxing hours by the water: the city is as varied as it is charming. And the best thing is that travelling by train via Hamburg, Copenhagen and Malmö is not only relaxing, but also particularly environmentally friendly.

The capital of Sweden is also called "the beauty of the water" because of its location on the islands. As you discover this vibrant city, you will be fascinated by its contrasts: narrow alleys in the Gamla Stan, dominating high-rise buildings with glass facades on the Sergels Torg or the guard parade in the courtyard of the castle.
-
In addition to the Reichstag building and the palace, there are many other sights to discover. For example, a visit to the Vasa Museum is a great excursion. You can admire the well-preserved shipwreck, which sank in 1628 during its maiden voyage. Besides the wreck there are also other archaeological finds from the early 17th century.
-
About 30 percent of the city area is covered with water. The city gets its drinking water from the Mälar, and the high water quality allows salmon fishing in the middle of the city centre. A large part of the city consists of forest regions.
