Sweden is a Scandinavian country with thousands of coastal islands and inland lakes as well as large coniferous forests and glacial mountains. The largest cities, such as the capital Stockholm in the east and Gothenburg and Malmö in the southwest, are all on the coast. Stockholm is built on 14 islands, has more than 50 bridges, and has the medieval old town of Gamla Stan, royal palaces, and museums such as the Skansen open-air museum. ― Google
