Stockholm is a city built on the water. Located on 14 islands
at the edge of the Baltic Sea, the city’s residents utilise the
precious resource in many different ways, including as a
means of relaxation and recreation. Try diving into the water
at Strandvägen, the small boating village within the thriving
metropolis. Strandvägen is a part of Östermalm, one of the
most exclusive districts in Stockholm. If you want to stay dry,
the ritzy neighbourhood offers many restaurants and shop-
ping opportunities. But dare you take the plunge?
