| Stockholm is a city of many beautiful faces and each area of town is distinctive. T-Centralen, for example, is a typical downtown area with traffic jams and bustling crowds. This is the part known as the City or Norrmalm. From here you can choose to walk alongside the water to Review © 2007, Wcities |

| Kungsholmen is an island in Lake Malaren, part of Stockholm City, Sweden. The area is divided into five districts and is considered part of the historic province Uppland. The island was originally inhabited by monks of the Franciscan order during the 15th century and was then known as Munklagret, or Monk's Camp. The island would eventually come under control of the Swedish crown in the 16th century as a result of the Protestant Reformation. Review © 2007, Wcities |

| Norrmalm proper is a district in the larger borough of Norrmalm, which also includes the district of Vasastaden. The district is broken into two parts, Upper and Lower Norrmalm, of which the former is the residential area and the latter the city. Norrmalm was originally its own independent city in 162, but the town was short-lived and was incorporated into Stockholm in 1635 and is now regarded as the central part of Stockholm. Norrmalm experienced a large-scale renovation in the 1950's and 60's which demolished the older parts of the city in the hopes to rebuild and modernize. While the project was successful, many Stockholmers miss the old Norrmalm that no longer exists. Review © 2007, Wcities |

| The other side of town, Södermalm, is also worth seeing. In the late 18s this was the home of Stockholm's working class. Returning home from a long, hard day by the ships the workers used to stop for a drink at the local taverns. This image of S?dermalm as the home of the bohemian workers, of genuine pub culture and socialising has been preserved; more cafés, galleries and pubs are found here than in any other part of town. A lot of small, funky stores featuring local artists' and designers' works are also to be found in this area, as well as at the summer Mynttorget street-festivals. At Review © 2007, Wcities |

| Vasastaden is the second most populous district in Stockholm. Meaning "The Stone City," Vasastaden is marked by the massive stone buildings that line its city blocks. Originally built as a fashionable bourgeois residential area, Vasastaden is located close to shops and offices and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. The town plan was inspired by the eloquent cities of Vienna and Paris. The area is the focus of a preservation project that hopes to repair buildings from a district-wide problem of sinking grounds, as well as protect the beautiful essence of the district.
