Imagined Stockholm trading community in the thirteenth century, timber waterfront houses and boats, Nordic light. · AI illustration

774 years from 1252 CE to 2026 · First surviving written reference. This is a reference milestone, not the first human presence.

Stockholm's name appears in surviving letters from 1252. Its waterways helped shape a trading city whose older streets remain visible in Gamla Stan. The date is a documentary milestone, not a precise first-settlement date.

Skansen celebrates Midsummer with music, dancing and family activities. Check the museum’s current programme and admission details.

What is it about?

A night of dancing becomes a celebration of youth, confidence and being absorbed in music. The song captures the temporary freedom of the dance floor, where ordinary worries give way to movement and excitement.

Words to discover

dancing
moving the body in time with music
queen
a female ruler; here, someone who stands out on the dance floor

Listen and notice

Listen for how the two lead voices blend, then notice the piano flourishes that add lift to the steady dance beat.
