History & Culture
Founded around 1252 by Swedish statesman Birger Jarl, Stockholm developed from a fortified settlement into Sweden's political and economic center. Its strategic location where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea established it as a vital trading post during the Hanseatic period. The city became Sweden's official capital in 1634 and flourished during Sweden's era as a major European power in the 17th century, leaving a legacy of baroque architecture and royal institutions.
Christmas Market History: Stockholm's Christmas market tradition centers on Stortorget square in Gamla Stan, where seasonal trading has occurred for centuries. The modern markets gained prominence in the late 20th century as the city revived historical winter customs and craft traditions. Today's markets blend Scandinavian heritage with contemporary Nordic design, reflecting Stockholm's approach to preserving seasonal celebrations.
