Stockholm Old Town

Old Town, the original city centre of Stockholm

Old Town (Gamla Stan) in Stockholm is by many considered as the true city centre of Stockholm and dates from the 13th century but most buildings are from the 1700s and 1800s.
Stortorget is the main square and all the big attractions lead off it, including the Royal Palace (Kungliga Slottet) and The Royal Chapel (Storkyrkan).
Around 3,000 people live in the Old Town and it is packed with cafés, restaurants, tourist shops, studios, galleries and museums.

There are tons of tourists visiting the Old Town every year

The Old Town is a perfect place to botanize among Swedish souvenirs

Due to the COVID-19 threat most tables were empty this summer 2020

These tables are only for the Swedish Vikings or the very brave ones who doesn’t fear the Swedish winter

There are lots of restaurants and cafes here, this one is called “Under the chestnut” obviously referring to the chestnut tree

The leaves are so nice in the beginning of the summer

I love all the narrow alleys and the shadow play, so photogenic!

When the sun is setting the colors in the alleys colored to gold

One of many churches, here is the Royal Chapel (Storkyrkan)

The main square Stortorget, with the big well in the middle. The perfect place to grab an ice cream and then sit down and just look at people

One of the biggest attractions is the Royal Palace and here you can at least see a part of it...

According to reliable sources there are many ghosts roaming around in Old Town at night ... so only God knows what hides behind those windows
