The City of Stockholm is situated on fourteen islands and on the banks to the archipelago where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. The city centre is virtually situated on the water.

The area of Stockholm is one of several places in Sweden with a joint valley terrain.[1] In these landscapes erosion along geological joints has split the flattish upper surfaces into low-lying plateaus.[2] In the case of Stockholm the plateau surfaces are remnants of the Sub-Cambrian peneplain.[1]
