Car hire Stockholm information
With a population of 800,000
Sweden’s capital city is also the biggest city in Scandinavia. In 1998 the European Union selected Stockholm as a European Capital of Culture. This is also likely due to the many museums and theatres the city has to offer. The famed Vasa Museum is especially popular with tourists. The places of interest in the city also most certainly include the old city with its castle located on a small island. It is now completely designated a historical monument. The small and narrow alleyways and the equally small shops and cafes create a homely atmosphere. The medieval ambience invites you to go shopping or for a walk. And if you are at the right place at the right time you can even watch the changing of the palace guards. The beautiful town of Nykoping is located right on the coast, only about 100 kilometres away from Stockholm. The motorway system around Stockholm provides good connections to other big cities in Sweden such as Gothenburg or Malmö. Travellers and tourists come from all over the world to pay Stockholm a visit. In addition to people from
Finland,
Norway and
Denmark, you’ll also frequently see visitors from Venezuela, Tunisia or India here. One of the likely reasons for this is the hospitality that the people in Stockholm are known for.
