The Old Town
The Old Town (Gamla Stan) is built on three islands right in the heart of the city. This is where Stockholm was originally founded in the 13th century. A medieval atmosphere still prevails here with narrow lanes, low-rise old-style houses, squares, workshops, boutiques and no cars! The best way to explore the Old Town is on foot and you will quickly discover that there are several museums and many interesting, cultural sights to see. Don't miss the Royal Palace, where you will find the State Apartments, the Royal Armoury, the Royal Treasury and the changing of the Palace Guards. And while you here, the Storkyrkan Cathedral is right next door.
