Located on the Baltic Sea, Stockholm is a charming city made up of several islands. The extended archipelago covers over 30,000 interesting islands. The city offers many attractions, including the spectacular Vasa Museum, Drottingholm Palace, and Birka Viking Village — with the last two being UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Stockholm is the largest city and the only one in Scandinavia that hosted Taylor Swift as she brought her highly anticipated Eras Tour to Europe in May 2024. She performed at Friends Arena, which can host 60,000 fans. The retractable roof will ensure that the concert will carry on even when the weather is moody.
