Welcome to Stockholm
December 26, 2007
Imagine fourteen islands laden with museums, medieval palaces, towering cathedrals, glittering fountains and proud statues bustling with the fervor and life of a modern city, that is what Stockholm is. Stockholm is the largest city in Sweden and is the capital and seat of power in the country. It has been an economic and political power in Sweden as far back as the 13 century and continues to be one of the most rapidly developing city in the archipelago.
Many consider Stockholm as one of the most beautiful cities of the world. And with its contrast of modern steel and glass skyscrapers standing along side centuries old palaces and cathedrals, its snowy white winters and its dewy fresh summers, its rich European history and its modern living lifestyle, it is no wonder that Stockholm is and continues to be a object of interest and attraction to people from all over the globe.
Stockholm is inhabited by people with very distinct senses of fashion and beauty which is why it is considered as one of the most fashion forward cities in the world, much like New York or Paris. The eyes of the world turn to Stockholm for ideas on fashion trends while designers and companies in the fashion industry make studying the market and trends in Stockholm as a big part of their researching process.
Coming to Stockholm, Sweden is an experience like no other. Where else can you revisit centuries long gone through tours of historical palaces, cathedrals, museums and other architectural marvels while still being just a walking distance away from modern shopping malls, business districts, restaurants and nightclubs but in Stockholm? This Swedish capital city is a mirror of contrasts, balancing youthful fashion with old-world charm and small town atmosphere with big city amenities. The city of Stockholm is a harmonious jumble of rustic suburbs, fashionable urban areas and picturesque coastlines inhabited by a mixture of people from all cultures of the world.
