# 74 THE HISTORIC ORIGINAL CAPITAL OF TURKU, FINLAND

Turku in the Southwestern corner of Finland is the oldest city, the first capital of the whole country, and today it is the capital of its region. Turku is often said to be the only truly medieval European town in Finland, as all medieval European towns have four things in common: a river for transport, a Cathedral for religious power, a Castle that represents the secular power, and a market place for acts of commerce. Turku has them all!

# 75 THE COSMOPOLITAN CITY OF STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden and is built on 14 islands in Lake Mälaren which mark the beginning of an archipelago of 24,000 islands stretching all the way to the Baltic Sea. Stockholm is a city of bridges and islands, towers and steeples, cobblestone squares and broad boulevards, Renaissance splendor and steel-and-glass skyscrapers. Be sure to stroll throught he Gamla Stan and visit the Vasa Museum to learn about the Viking past.

# 76 THE CITY OF OSLO, NORWAY

Oslo is one of the oldest Scandinavian capitals, as it was founded in the mid 11th-century and became the capital around 1300 under Haakon V. Though an ancient capital city, its turbulent history of fire, occupation and alliance make the treasures of Oslo modern in comparison to most of Europe. Highlights of a visit include: the Royal Palace, the House of Parliament, the National Theater, the National Gallery, and the Oslo Archipelago.

# 77 THE DANISH CAPITAL OF COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is positioned on the body of water between Denmark and Sweden, which gave the city great importance. Copenhagen is the largest city in Scandinavia and is the seat of one of the oldest kingdoms in the world. A city with much charm, as reflected in its canals, narrow streets, and old houses, visitors should not miss the Tivoli Gardens, Christiansborg Palace, or the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.
