Stockholm is the city capital of Sweden an situated where Lake Malaren
flows into the Baltic Sea. The city also has a large port and an important
shipbuilding industry. It is the seat of Sweden's principal stock exchange.
Visitors and residents alike enjoy strolling along the streets and lanes in
the medieval section of Gamla Stan, or exploring its many museums. The city is
compact and easily explored on foot, although its watery nature and many islands
and archipelagos, may have you looking around for a boat.
In recent years, winter in Stockholm has brought heavy snowfalls, even
downtown. In January and February, there can be snowstorms, cold weather and
bright sunshine, as well as rain and sleet in milder temperatures. The latter
are most noticeable in March. At the beginning of April, spring begins to make a
long-awaited entrance and a month later, both the birches and the city's many
outdoor cafes begin to blossom. Summer comes some time in June and by
Midsummer's Eve, it should definitely have arrived. During the summer months of
July and August, the water in Stockholm stays at an invitingly warm temperature
making it perfect for bathing.
