ESC Stockholm - Stockholm
Stockholm is built across 14 islands and
is often called the Venice of the North. With more foreign visitors than any
other city in Scandinavia, it is also considered to be the capital of
Scandinavia. Stockholm is situated at the point where the vast Lake Mälaren
flows into the Baltic Sea and was built on this strategic spot in the mid 13th
century, enabling the founder to tax merchant vessels going in and out of
the lake. As water covers one third of the city area, the maritime life is an
important aspect of the city. There are plenty of bridges, marinas and locks.
The water is so clean that you can drink it and catch salmon in the middle of
the city. The climate is very much conditioned by the sea winds, so even the
warmest summer day will be contingent upon the sea breeze finding its way into
the city streets. Some basic facts: 1.3 million people live in the greater
Stockholm area. The average temperature in Stockholm is around -2°C (28°F) in
January and about 18°C (64°F) in May. For detailed information, please visit
