Stockholm is considered one of the most stunning national capitals in the world, not to mention a capital full of the world's most beautiful fair skinned, blonde haired people as well. You can spend the day walking around the city's waterways and parks, or you can immerse yourself in Swedish culture by travelling to Gamla Stan, which translates to the Old City. If you're yearning for thrills, or trying to entertain youngsters, Stockholm will satisfy you with the Grona Lund theme park which edges on the Baltic Sea. However, if you want the true Swedish experience, go sailing, fishing, or swimming in the sea. Swedes can be seen immersing themselves in the water surrounding the city, sometimes without a bathing suit, even during the heart of winter. The Baroque and Renaissance buildings that cover Stockholm will please your eye and the abundance of Swedish activities available to experience will leave you in high spirits, yet leave you wishing you lived in such a spectacular place.
