Stockholm is moving forward as pop-culture platform on the forefront of the Scandinavian pulse. Swedes are a truly influence abroad. The city itself is formed by different islands. Therefore water is an important part of its urban landscape. In spring everyone wants to take advantage of it. There is the Archipelago at the entrance of the Baltic sea so sailing around is the classic escape out. City is formed by 5 main areas: The island of Gamla Stan (Old Town) is the central one. Södermalm (Southern island). Söder is well known for its arty spots, fashion stores and great nightlife. Djurgården island is placed to the east. There you will find magnificent parks, museums, embassies, restaurants and the amusement park. Kungsholmen is the island on the west-side. Starts with the City Hall (Stadshuset) and continues along the water trough a residential area. Norrmalm is the part known as "The City". Over its eastern side the financial district called Östermalm is located. Lots of multinational corporate headquarters are based there. Also it comes along with the posh and residential area of Stureplan. On the western part we find Vasastan, quite posh but definitely trendy area with good fashion stores, restaurants, show rooms and art galleries. - Text: Victor Moreno
