ENJOY SOTOCKHOLM
Stockholm is nicknamed the “Venice of the North” because it sits on 14 islands connected by 57 bridges, right where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. It’s a city that offers a unique blend of nature and modernity.
The name derives from the Swedish words stock (pole) and holm (island). The literal meaning is therefore “pole island,” likely a reference to the poles used as defensive barriers or to delimit the channels between the islands.
Stockholm frequently tops rankings for economic well-being, gender equality, and digital maturity. It is considered one of Europe’s “smartest” cities, with a strong startup ecosystem and complete, barrier-free urban accessibility.
