Stockholm and Surroundings

Stockholm’s first buildings were erected on a small island Ranas
in the narrow Strömmen channel between the Baltic and
Lake Mälaren. When the town started to expand, buildings Skedviken
sprang up on the “Malms”, the areas on either side of
Strömmen. Today Stockholm stretches over 14 islands, with Husby Rimbo
high-rise suburbs sprawling almost all the way out to the
royal country palaces. The network of underground and
suburban trains, buses and ferry services offers easy
transport to sights beyond the city centre (see pp142–53).
