SWEDEN · STOCKHOLM — ENGLISH NARRATION

00:00–00:12
Welcome to Sweden, where Stockholm rises from the water: fourteen islands joined by fifty-seven bridges, with nature always close.

00:12–00:24
The red-brick City Hall is one of the capital's great landmarks, looking across Lake Mälaren toward the old city skyline.

00:24–00:36
Here, boats are part of everyday life. Beyond the centre, an archipelago of around thirty thousand islands reaches into the Baltic Sea.

00:36–00:48
Walk into Gamla Stan, Stockholm's Old Town, founded in the thirteenth century, with narrow lanes, cafés and colourful historic façades.

00:48–00:58
Modern Stockholm is easy to explore. Metro trains, ferries and buses connect the islands quickly and smoothly.

00:58–01:06
A short ferry ride changes the view from city streets to open water.

01:06–01:18
Royal buildings, church spires and waterfront streets preserve centuries of history, yet the city remains lively and modern.

01:18–01:30
Stockholm is only the beginning. Continue to Mora in Dalarna for Lake Siljan, red cottages and another side of Swedish life.
