What is the capital of Sweden?
Answer
Stockholm
Stockholm is Sweden's capital and largest city, located on the eastern coast where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. Built across 14 islands, Stockholm developed from a small settlement in the 13th century into a major Nordic power center and one of Europe's most beautiful capitals. The city's unique island geography, connected by bridges and waterways, gives it distinctive charm and has earned it comparisons to Venice.
