Stockholm, Sweden part 1 Something special is going on in this Swedish capital. Scandinavians are often considered to have the world's highest standard of living, with Sweden occupying the top of that happy ranking and Stockholm is sometimes considered the number one city in the world in which to live. So it figures there are many wonderful things for the visitor to enjoy in Stockholm, a city created by a society that truly cares about people. They really believe in quality of life, and have built a place that is one of Europe's truly beautiful capitals. Stockholm is some kind of urban utopia - so let's go find out what makes it so special.
We dive into the most interesting neighborhood, the Old Town of Gamla Stan, the cobbled alleys, the medieval city center. The narrow twisting pedestrian lanes of Gamla Stan are lined with superbly preserved old buildings which hold some very modern stores, so you can enjoy the historic experience while shopping!
Also, we tour inside the Vasa Museum and the Nordic Museum.

Stockholm, Sweden: Gamla Stan
More info about travel to Stockholm: Stockholm's compact island core is charming, photogenic, and full of antiques shops, street lanterns and surprises like the beautiful Lutheran cathedral. The main drag is a favorite with shoppers and tourists. But just a block or two from the commotion, the atmosphere changes. Tranquil lanes feel much like they did back in the 17th century, when all of Stockholm fit on Gamla Stan.
