Gamla
Stan / The Old Town
This is truly the gem of Stockholm! This was where the city
was once founded back in the 13th century and many of the beautiful
houses date back to the 17th century. Take a stroll through
the narrow, cobble stoned alleys, see the changing of the guards
at the Royal Palace or sit down in one of the squares with a
home made ice cream and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere. Take
your time, a visit to the Old Town should not be rushed. Subway

Kungliga Slottet / The Royal Palace
The Royal Palace is one of the world’s largest inhabited
palaces with more than 600 rooms. It was built primarily in
the 18th century in Italian baroque style, on the site of the

islands, islets and rocks, and is one of the more spectacular
archipelagos in the world. Many of the islands are settled and
there are lots of hotels and hostels, restaurants, museums and

over night, the beautiful scenery and calmness away from the
city will take your breath away. A trip to the archipelago in
the typical white ferry boats makes the journey an attraction
in itself.
