Stockholm is a city built on islands where water plays a defining role. A good way to explore this elegant city is to just keep on walking along the waterfront.
I started on the western part of the city centre. My first view of the waterfront was the City Hall, a remarkable building right on the waterfront. Walking on the opposite side, on Riddarholmen, one of the many islands of the Stockholm archipelago, the view was as good as it can get. Walking on from here, after a brief walk up to Riddarholmskyrkan, I saw a group of Swedes fishing in the waters: a common sight almost anywhere on the waterfront of the Swedish capital. The waters must be healthy and full of fish; I always see someone take a fish out of the water. From here, I passed the southernmost tip of Gamla Stan, and walked back towards the city. Gamla Stan is picturesque of course; the view of the Old Town has a completely new perspective from the waterfront. And at the end of Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace takes on even bigger dimensions when seen from the water.
