Stockholm is an ancient and young, elegant and prosperous city. Its old city has a history of more than 700 years. Because it has not been destroyed by the war, it is well preserved and now maintains an antique style. A medieval building decorated with carvings and stone carvings, with narrow streets, looks like an ancient city.

There is still an ancient well in the central square of the old city, which is said to be the only fresh water well that residents drank hundreds of years ago. Stockholm has such historic sites as Nikolai Palace Church. If you arrive at the palace at noon, you will also see the guards changing their posts with a grand ceremony. As long as you spend a few Swedish kronor, you can buy a ticket to pass these sentries smoothly.

Visit the gold, silver, jewels and exquisite utensils left by the Swedish royal family in the past dynasties, and watch the exquisite murals in the palace. Stockholm also has the characteristics of a modern city, with green grass and elegant environment. Buildings are surrounded by trees and walls, lawns and flowers are widely planted in street centers, roadsides and houses, as well as fountains.
