Day 3, STOCKHOLM
After your first Scandinavian buffet breakfast, start a 3 hours sightseeing tour of this medieval city with your own private guide. Famous sights on the tour include the Royal Palace, the Parliament Buildings, the island of Djurgården and the Old Town (Gamla Stan), with its narrow cobbled streets and numerous antique shops. Stockholm is built on 14 islands, marking the beginning of an archipelago of 24,000 islands, skerries and islets that stretches all the way to the Baltic Sea. A city of bridges and islands, towers, turrets, spires and steeples, cobblestone squares and broad boulevards, Renaissance splendor and steel-and-glass skyscrapers Stockholm is a capital of contrast. Although the city was founded more than 7 centuries ago, it did not become the official capital of Sweden until the mid-17th century.
