Where Stockholm is located
Where Stockholm is located. Stockholm is a unique city mainly due to its layout: it is situated on 14 small islands connected by bridges and overlooks the Baltic Sea, facing a whole series of constellations of very small islands as well, which can be seen on a boat trip.
Around it, what the locals call the “rock garden”: the Archipelago, a sprinkle of 30,000 islands, atolls, rocky spires dotted with wine-colored cottages, where, in the beautiful season, the comings and goings of sails and rigging are quite impressive.
Stockholm Sehenswürdigkeiten
1 Der Stockholmer Archipel
Man kann die Stadt nicht verlassen, ohne einen Ausflug zum Stockholmer Archipel gemacht zu haben, der herrliche Ausblicke auf die hundert Inselchen und die wunderbaren Häuschen bietet. Auch wenn Ihr Aufenthalt in Stockholm recht kurz ist, wird eine Fahrt zu einer der tausenden Inseln, die den Archipel bilden, dringend empfohlen. Die Inseln, in unterschiedlichen Formen und Größen, sind mit malerischen Häusern gesprenkelt, und einige von ihnen sind ganzjährig bewohnt. Der Archipel wird üblicherweise in den nördlichen, zentralen und südlichen Bereich unterteilt. Vahholm ist eine ganzjährig bewohnte Insel und eine der repräsentativsten, um ein besseres Verständnis der anderen Inseln zu bekommen. Fjaderholmarna hingegen ist die am leichtesten erreichbare Insel (ca. 25 Minuten mit dem Boot). Der Fähranleger auf dem Festland befindet sich am Nybroplan.
Stoccolma cosa visitare
2 Il centro di Stoccolma: Gamla Stan
Il centro cittadino conserva una serie nutrita di monumenti ragguardevoli e ben conservati, attraverso i quali si può leggere agevolmente la storia di Stockholm, partendo dal cuore medievale di Gamla Stan (l’isolotto più antico) e Riddaholmen, i cui insediamenti datano XIII secolo e rappresentano il nucleo storico più grande e meglio conservato d’Europa, con monumenti come il Palazzo Reale con i suoi interni così sontuosi e ricchi da rendere immediato il paragone con l’austero minimalismo dell’ambiente circostante.e le sue sale espositive, tra cui quella del Tesoro, dove sono esposti i Gioielli della Corona, e l’Armeria Reale. Ma in centro, ci sono anche il Museo Nobel; il Riddaruset, Palazzo della Nobiltà adibito anticamente a sessioni parlamentari.
L’ambiente cittadino, si può molto facilmente visitare semplicemente passeggiando: non c’è luogo troppo distante o troppo impervio che non possa essere raggiunto a piedi. Gamla Stan (o Stadsholmen) è la maggiore delle isole di Stoccolma ed è caratterizzata da palazzi storici, quartieri residenziali e dalla Cattedrale.
3 Il Municipio di Stoccolma
Il Municipio di Stoccolma con la sua svettante torre quadrata, che domina lo skyline cittadino, e le famose Sala Blu e Sala Dorata, dove ogni anno, il 10 dicembre, si tiene il banchetto di gala per l’assegnazione dei Premi Nobel. Ma il centro di Stockholm è magico anche per l’intreccio di vicoli, stradine, saliscendi, piazzette, passaggi nascosti dove si annidano locande, pub, bottegucce e curiosità di ogni tipo, e dove fioriscono i mercatini e le mille luci del Natale.
Stockholm what to see
4 Royal Palace: Kungliga Slott
The Royal Palace of Stockholm, known as the Kungliga Slott, was built in the 18th century on another building destroyed by a fire. Like many imposing palaces, its construction underwent several phases and it has been occupied only since 1754. The Palace is reachable from the Metro stop “Gamla Stan” and is visitable, except during State visits which require the closure of some rooms, throughout the year. The palace contains three museums with relics representing the splendor of the Swedish royal house.
