Stockholm


Stockholm is the largest city in Sweden and it is also the capital of Sweden. About 21% of Sweden’s population lives in Stockholm. About 807,301 people live in the city, 1.3 million in the urban area and about 2 million in the metropolitan area. Stockholm also contributes to about 35% of Sweden’s gross domestic product. Stockholm is on fourteen different islands and is known for its beauty. Tourists call it “Venice of the north” because there is so much water. Stockholm is home to all of the major TV and radio stations and where all of the newspaper is printed.
