The Swedish capital of Stockholm 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. Ferries and sightseeing boats shuttle passengers between the islands. This storybook city is fabled for its world-class museums, regal palaces, and impressive, art-adorned metro stations. The storied old town, Gamla Stan, with its cobblestone streets and ochre-colored buildings, is the city’s crown jewel and home to the 13th-century Storkyrkan Cathedral, the Kungliga Slottet Royal Palace and the Nobel Museum, which focuses on the Nobel Prize. Join us for a fantastik, underhållande evening in Stockholm!
