When you think of island nations your mind drifts to tropical Pacific islands or maybe Carribbean. If asked the question which country has the most islands I would have thought Indonesia, Phillipines or even Japan. Fun fact the answer is actually Sweden with over a quarter of a million islands. Their capitol, Stockholm’s is actually built on a number of islands and illustrates this nicely.
The old town, Gamla Stan is on an island of its own in the heart of the larger city. It is the tourist magnet and justifiably so. It is an exquisite maze of cobbled laneways, colourful mediaeval buildings, cathedrals and castles. We easily spend a whole day here and do not get bored. Enjoy the pictures.
