Or Gamla stan, as we call it 🙂 This place I’ve been to more than a few times, both during my childhood, and later as an adult. I’ve always enjoyed a stroll along this old neighborhood’s narrow streets and alleys, filled with timeworn houses, restaurants and cafes, small shops with handicraft and other curiosities, museums, churches, and also the royal palace. In recent years the main street has become more and more packed with tourists, who want to enjoy this loveliness too, especially in the summertime. But not to worry, just step off into one of the side streets, and it becomes all nice and quiet, and you get to enjoy the place like it’s suppose to be enjoyed.
More on Stockholm.
Royal Palace
How lovely – I do like wandering around the Old Town in cities, especially with little cobbled streets. So far the closest I’ve come is Copenhagen but Stockholm is definitely on my list. #citytripping
Me too! Copenhagen and Oslo don’t have much like this. Unfortunately 🙁
I didn’t know that Stockholm has such a beautiful center. Sweden is on our bucket list #CityTripping
The old town is very cozy. Hope you make it there some day!
I’ve not been to Stockholm but would love to…really enjoy exploring the narrow side streets and historical parts of a new city. #citytripping
I love narrow streets and old town charm as well 🙂
Stockholm’s definitely on my wishlist! I much prefer searching out the older, more historic parts in the cities I visit. #citytripping
Me too, but I don’t mind a swanky new neighborhood either 🙂
I’m going to Stockholm in a month:) #city tripping
Hope you have a good time 🙂
Ah! I have a teammate from Stockholm, which means I’m super excited to visit the old center someday soon! Thanks for sharing these photos or with us! #citytripping
You should definitely take advantage of having a local show you around. Icing on the cake!
Loved it when I went there! Just wish my camera didn’t die halfway through my trip (day trip from Denmark) 🙁
Oh, so sad to hear that! Especially on a day trip 🙁 Then you have to go back 🙂 Like it a lot too!
It looks beautiful! Nice blog by the way 🙂
It is! Thanks so much!
Looks like a lovely part of town. I always head first to a town’s old part. It gives me an instant appreciation of a place. Not so good that you have to share this place with tons of people during summer.
It is! It’s different from the other colorful old towns around Europe, which adds to the charm! I guess it is on everyone’s must-see list when visiting Stockholm 🙂
Nice.. We head there is September so thanks – a wandering memory
You’re gonna love Stockholm! Have a great trip!
Thanks mate… Very excited
