A new visitor information centre has opened in the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, to help people navigate the area.  The centre includes a tourist bureau, boat taxi office, cafe and archipelago travel agency.

The centre will be providing information on all sorts of activities that tourists can do whilst in Stockholm, for example, sea kayaking, rock climbing, cycling, hiking and rip-boat trips.

Stockholm has a wide variety of interests to offer tourists and in geographical terms, it is a particularly interesting European city, because its centre consists of fourteen different islands and it is located where Lake Malaren meets the Baltic sea, on the east coast of Sweden.

Within Stockholm, you can see the Royal Palace, churches, cathedrals, museums and many more historic landmarks and buildings.

Flights to Stockholm travel from several UK airports with a number of airlines, such as BA, SAS Scandinavian Airlines and bmi, amongst others.
