Stockholm
Stockholm is surely an urban planner's dream. Everything works. Everything looks good. Janine di Giovanni

Originally founded in 1252 by Birger Jarl, Stockholm quickly became the country’s largest city and became a siege for politics and royal residence. Its urban facade is varied with centuries-old historic monuments and places. Today the city has become a hotspot for those interested in arts and culture as it offers royal palaces, niche galleries and world class museums. With is closeness to nature one can enjoy both the historical places the city has to offer as well as a breath of fresh air in a breath-taking city.
