In Stockholm, you can feel an international yet familiar atmosphere, simple and elegant, modern and historical. There are dozens of monuments to visit, and at least a week is needed to explore Stockholm and its surroundings. Europcar accompanies you on your adventure.
Visit Gamla Stan, the old town of Stockholm. Here you can admire the incredible views over the water and the royal palace of Stockholm.
