The biggest tourist attraction in Stockholm is the city itself. Looking out in the early morning over the islands, water and surrounding hills from one of the city's many bridges is a world-beating experience. But Stockholm is not simply a vision of timeless beauty. Stockholm is also smart and trendy. Only the really large international metropolises are able to compare favorably with Stockholm for their 'coolness' and artistic flair. The city's restaurateurs, designers and musicians and the never-ending stream of fashionable people through the city centre are continually on the lookout for the very latest trends.
All of the islands, the water between them and the bridges which connect the various parts of the city give Stockholm its unique character. Paradoxically, it is the natural environment which makes the city of Stockholm so special. The countryside is never far away - it is in the water, in the city's many parks and in the clean, fresh air.
The natural boundaries which the water creates also mean that different parts of the town have developed their own character. The large island of Södermalm is the haunt of, and home to, young creative people. In the old working-class quarters here small shops and alternative bars flourish; and trend-setters and bohemians meet in the area around Götgatsbacken, Skånegatan and SoFo (south of Folkungagatan). Gamla stan (Old Town) is the very foundation and centre of Stockholm.
