Awaiting Your Return FROM Shore

Founded in the 13th century, Stockholm

over many islands at the meeting point of the Baltic with Lake

Malaren. Stockholm, noted for its outstanding architecture, is one

of Scandinavia's most attractive cities. In addition to its many

man-made monuments, Stockholm boasts a world of natural beauty.

One-third of the city's total land area is devoted to parks.

Guided by a strong belief in individual freedom, Sweden is

governed by a constitution that is the oldest in use in Europe.

The country's neutrality has allowed it to avoid wars for more

than 150 years. Its cities and industry remained intact during

both World Wars. A distinct political philosophy has also added

significantly to the nation's success. Many of the country's

social achievements can be attributed to the development of the

'welfare state' early in the 20th century. This provides its

citizens with excellent medical care and substantial retirement

benefits. Sweden is recognized as one of the world leaders in

matters of health care and life expectancy. Education standards

are high, accounting for the country's 100% literacy rate.

The Swedes are proud of their country and take great care to

preserve its great natural beauty. As the country's major city,

Stockholm offers a wealth of monuments and sites, fine museums,

and a rich culture. There are also hundreds of excellent

restaurants, as well as a great selection of trendy

boutiques and exciting nightclubs.

Visitors should start their exploration of Stockholm with the

Gamla Stan, the Old Town on Stadsholmen; an island in the center

of the city, it has retained its medieval charm. The maze of

narrow, cobbled streets, full of art studios, boutiques, antique

shops, nightclubs and bars, is best explored on foot.

Every year in August the colorful, ten-day Stockholm Water

Festival is held. During this time the central part of the city is

transformed into an array of temporary restaurants, bars, theaters

and art exhibitions, providing activities 24 hours a day. The

World Fireworks Championships, swimming races, a midnight

marathon, music and dancing are just a few of the endless list of

events that highlight this gigantic festival.
