Stockholm, Sweden

No other city in Sweden comes close to Stockholm in terms of importance and grandeur, and it isn?t just because a syndrome is named after the city having to do with hot nurses. Stockholm is both the capital and the most populous city in Sweden. In addition, Stockholm is considered the cultural, economic, and political center of the country and the two million-plus people living within Stockholm?s reach are all to happy to be a part of one of the most industrious and cleanest cities on the face of the Earth.

Let us not forget how beautiful Stockholm is, though. Curiously situated on fourteen different islands at the edge of Lake Malaren and the Baltic Sea, Stockholm is seen as a Nordic Venice of sorts, and its beautiful waterways and pristine architecture attracts over a million visitors a year, making it the most popular tourist spot in all of Scandinavia. The reason that Stockholm is so clean has a lot to do with the fact that there is nearly no heavy industry in the city at all. Almost ninety percent of the workforce in the city has to do with service, so there is little to no pollution or unsightly factories and foundries. The city has always been on the pioneering edge of technology and international giants like IBM and Ericsson use Stockholm as their European headquarters. This pure, beautiful city must be the picture of perfection when one looks out their office windows and sees the many inlets and channels glistening against the cool, gentle Scandinavian sun.

If cleanliness is a virtue in Stockholm, education would be seen as a top priority. Advancement of the mind has always been important to the Nordic people and Stockholm is that sentiment personified. Ever since the 1800s, when distinguished academies like Stockholm University and the Royal Institute of Technology were formed, Stockholm has been known for producing brilliant, efficient, forward-thinking minds. The Royal Institute of Technology can be seen as the shining beacon of the city, as its thirteen thousand strong student body makes it the largest ****** of its kind of Scandinavia. It isn?t just academia that Stockholm can boast, though. The city has also had a longstanding reputation for cultivating the creative and artistic side of the mind as well. The Royal Swedish Academy of Music, for instance, has been considered one of the most prestigious music schools in the world since its inception in 1771! Similarly, the Royal University of Fine Arts goes as far back as 1735 and has been the stepping stone for many a great European dramatist.

Stockholm has earned its rightful place as one of the most impressive and most beautiful cities in all of Scandinavia but it wouldn?t be a stretch to place Stockholm on the running for the most impressive city worldwide. From its gorgeous waterways to its enviably clean and efficient cities to its dedication to education, Stockholm is a shining example of what a city can become with proper leadership and national pride. If we can?t afford to visit Stockholm, we should at least try to take some of its virtues and implement them into our daily lives, wherever we are.
