Stockholm’s Old Town is a living history book with medieval lanes leading to modern stores, artisans at work, galleries, restaurants, cafés, bars, live music and museums. Some of Sweden’s most well-preserved buildings are here:

Stockholm Cathedral (Storkyrkan), the German Church (Tyska kyrkan), the Royal Palace (Kungliga slottet) and Stockholm’s oldest church, Riddarholmen Church (Riddarholmskyrkan), dating from the 1300s.

Stockholm was founded here in the 13th century. The narrow lanes echo with centuries of history, but are also full of the vibrant hustle and bustle of modern life. If you want to stroll around and enjoy the atmosphere, there are lots of lovely walkways. And when you get tired, there are plenty of park benches perfectly situated for people-watching.

In the Old Town you’ll find special boutiques and interesting sights & events not found anywhere else: all in all, a colourful and multifaceted experience that’s hard to beat. The Old Town has its very own unique feeling and every little cobblestone has its own story!

Welcome to the Old Town, the heart of Stockholm – a cosy little village in the middle of a big city.
