Stockholm has often been called the “City between Bridges” — a fitting name for a capital built across fourteen islands and linked by over fifty bridges that span its waterways. These bridges do more than connect neighborhoods; they define how the city breathes and moves. Each one has its own story and role, from the stately Vasabron linking the old town to the modern center, to the sleek Västerbron arching high above Lake Mälaren with sweeping views of the skyline. Some bridges are bustling with traffic, while others are peaceful paths for pedestrians and cyclists. In a city where land and sea constantly interact, the bridges make daily life possible — and in doing so, they shape the experience of Stockholm itself. To walk its bridges is to understand how this city holds itself together, not just physically, but in spirit.
