Stockholm is often
regarded as the most beautiful capital city in all of Europe.
After visiting the Swedish capital, I would have to agree. Out of
all the capitals that I have visited that include Paris, London,
Zagreb, Dublin, and Copenhagen, I would have to say that the Swedish
Capital is the most beautiful. The city is built around islands
that are at a point where a large lake meets the Baltic Sea. The
architecture is just amazing. The people are very friendly too in
Sweden. I highly recommend putting Sweden on one's bucket list of
places to go.
