Cobbled streets, colourful houses, souvenir shops, roadside cafes and people bustling with life, Stockholm Old Town is the heart of the capital of Sweden. A must visit if you are on a tour to Stockholm.
Gamla Stan is a must place to visit. It is a small island connected to the land by bridges. There are lots of little lane ways, all cobble stones, that have many different shops in them. Lots of food places as well.
Really a fun neighborhood - lots to do - the nightlife epicenter of Stockholm. Lots of great bars and restaurants
After we visited the royal palace, we came walking to this vibrant old town which is very close to the palace, it is beautiful and worthwhile visiting and spending sometime in it, lots of nice shops, cafes, and restaurants, I came across a shop selling amber jewelry which I adore, and we sat in a nice Italian restaurant for lunch at the end of our walk, highly recommend old town walk.
We arrived early in the Gamla Stan after taking the train from our cruise ship and it was the best time to be there. Many of the shops were not open yet but we got to experience the quaint streets, buildings and alleys without the mobs of tourists. We ended up spending most of the day there as it had many great little eating places as well as fun shops. You can't go to Stockholm without visiting the Old Town.
