Strung across over 14 islands, where Lake Mälaren joins the Baltic Sea, Stockholm"s watery vistas make it Scandinavia"s most beautiful city. The second edition of the Time Out Stockholm guide provides an in-depth look at the city"s neighborhoods: its 13th-century origins on Gramla Stan, the grand boulevards of Ostermalm, the bohemian bars of Söder, the green open spaces of Djurgården, and the shopping heartland of Norrmalm. The guide also goes beyond the city to explore Viking ruins, royal palaces, and fairy-tale castles around Lake Malaren; ferry rides across the Baltic to Tallinn and Helsinki; and the best of the 24,000 islands of the Swedish archipelago, the largest in the world.
