Gamla stan

Don’t be surprised if you find yourself contemplating a move to Sweden after a visit to Stockholm; the city makes traveling feel easy and effortless (even for newbies). Locals tend to be welcoming and friendly, English is widely spoken, and everything from the subway system to city streets are clean and straightforward.

Spread out over 14 islands, with an eye towards the Baltic Sea to the East, Sweden’s capital city of Stockholm is a beautiful, colorful, vibrant, and modern 700-year-old European city. It’s also a lot of fun to take photos in!
