Destinations > Sweden > STOCKHOLM

Stockholm's archipelago, comprised of more than 24,000 islands, extends into the brackish waters of the Baltic, and offers some of the most beautiful blue solace in the sailing world of the Nordic countries.
Museums / Culture
Visit the home of August Strindberg, the great Swedish surrealist playwright... the new modern art museum... or the Vasa, Sweden's own Titanic.
Architecture
Stockholm is a city of extreme variety, incorporating the colorful intricacies of the Old City (Gamla Stan) with more modern, lightweight, glass-clad structures.
Restaurants
Try Gamla Stån (the Old Town), with its intimate, colorful streets and its global array of cuisine.
Hotels
Modern hotels with special features offer a refreshing change, and just maybe... Internet access.
Nightlife
On summer nights, Stockholm sees only a few hours of darkness, and so the night comes alive, and time takes on a different meaning.

15 February 2004
Stockholm is planning to keep its future green. The city government describes the green area as "a huge green belt, a mighty life-giving lung arching over 10 km, starting at Fjäderholmarna (a small group of islands just south-east of the city) and ending at Ulriksdal (one of the royal parks in the area) to the north."
The Djurgården preserve is protected against development, through an agreement which designates it as the first National City Park. [For more: Stockholm.se]
EUROPEAN UNION
CONSTITUTION ON HOLD FOR EUROPE
13 December 2003

EU leaders fail to reach agreement on distribution of legislative authority across the continent. Spain and Poland held a hard-line defense of their current level of representation, refusing "double majority" rule. By "double majority", laws would have to be approved by a majority of delegates representing 60% of the EU population. Constitution talks are thought to be off until 2005. [For More: BBC]
