Sweden, the birthplace of IKEA, is not only known for its exceptional design but also boasts a rich historical heritage. The capital city, Stockholm, is composed of one-third water, one-third parks, and one-third urban area, making it the hub of Swedish culture and art. Thanks to its coastal location, Stockholm feels far less crowded compared to other capital cities and offers a more relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.
As early as 1500, Stockholm had already 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 an influential Nordic capital. Today, Stockholm is home to 870,000 residents, yet maintains exceptionally thorough urban greening. In 2010, it was awarded the “European Green Capital” title by the EU, celebrated for its fresh air and pleasant environment.
