Stockholm is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited, with a very special light and beautiful brick colours. The DK Stockholm guide didn't disappoint me with lots of pictures, hints and schemes of streets and monuments of this splendid city and country. As the other DK guides, it tells us about history, social life and other details about Swedish way of life as well as interesting aspects of Stockholm and surroundings. However in the suggestions it makes to visit other spots of Swedish interest, it could include a visit to the painter Carl Larsson' s home in Sundborn. Besides being a picturesque way to know better one of the best-known Swedish personalities, the place offers you beautiful scenes of countryside.
