Stockholm
The "Venice of the North": the usual comparison with the Italian city is misleading, because the two cities have a very different urban structure. Here, the overriding impression is not so much one of water penetrating into the city as of a city progressively colonising the 14 islands dotted about in the water. From Stadsholmen, the original centre, the city has spread gradually to the neighbouring islands between lake Mälar and the Baltic, and the Swedish capital has became a great metropolis.
