Gamla Stan – Stockholm’s Fairytale Old Town

#northerneurope
Gamla Stan is Stockholm’s charming old town, where cobblestone streets twist between colourful medieval buildings. Dating back to the 13th century, it’s like walking through a living history book — but with cosy cafés, quirky shops, and tasty cinnamon buns at every turn. You’ll find the Royal Palace, narrow alleyways like the famous Mårten Trotzigs Gränd, and beautiful squares perfect for people-watching. Some streets and rooftops even resemble scenes from Kiki’s Delivery Service, giving it a whimsical, storybook vibe. It’s super easy to explore on foot and just a short stroll from Stockholm’s modern centre — a perfect mix of past and present.
