Sweden, the birthplace of IKEA, is not only known for its exceptional design but also boasts a rich history. Its capital, Stockholm, is made up of one-third water, one-third parks, and one-third cityscape, serving as the hub of Swedish culture and art. Thanks to its coastal location, visitors to Stockholm don’t feel cramped—instead, compared to other capital cities, it offers a more comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
As early as 1500, Stockholm had become the political and financial center of Sweden, marking the beginning of royal rule established by Gustav Vasa. A century later, it had grown into a highly influential Nordic capital. Today, Stockholm is home to a population of 870,000, yet urban greening has been implemented exceptionally well. In 2010, the city was awarded the “European Green Capital” title by the EU, renowned for its fresh air and pleasant environment.
