Welcome to Stockholm County!
Stockholm County (Stockholms län) in Sweden comprises the country's capital city, Stockholm, and its surrounding municipalities. With 2.3 million inhabitants, it is both the country's most populous region and the most densely populated one. Far from homogenous, it includes dense urban areas as well as large expanses of forests and the Stockholm Archipelago, made up of more than 30,000 islands.
Stockholm dominates the area, and while most other municipalities are essentially suburbs, some of them have an identity on their own, notably Sweden's oldest city Sigtuna, the port of Nynäshamn, and the industrial hub of Södertälje.
Stockholm County (Swedish: Stockholms län) is a county or län (in Swedish) on the Baltic Sea coast of Sweden. It borders Uppsala County and Södermanland County.
