About Stockholm

Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, built across a cluster of islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. It is the country's political and business centre, known for its technology and music companies, its design and the annual Nobel Prize award ceremony, so it attracts both business callers and visitors.

Sweden uses Central European Time, UTC+1, and Central European Summer Time, UTC+2, in summer, putting Stockholm an hour ahead of the UK. Its northern latitude has a big effect on daylight: in midwinter the sun sets in mid-afternoon, while around midsummer it barely gets dark at all. Offices work Monday to Friday.
