Sweden brought Ikea and H&M to the world, and the country’s capital is packed with equally innovative shops, glass walled art galleries, and stylish boutiques. But it’s the quiet beauty that gives Stockholm an edge over its Scandinavian neighbors. Water surrounds you at every turn, and traffic clogged streets are practically nonexistent. Instead, canals and pedestrian bridges connect the 14 islands that make up the city. Each isle is distinct in character and mood: there’s shopping in posh Östermalm; narrow, historic streets in medieval Gamla Stan; and a thriving bohemian culture in Södermalm.
