Gamla Stan , The Old Town
the Old Town, is one of the largest and best preserved medieval city centers in Europe, and one of the foremost attractions in Stockholm. This is where Stockholm was founded in 1252.
All of Gamla Stan and the adjacent island of Riddarholmen are like a living pedestrian-friendly museum full of sights, attractions, restaurants, cafés, bars, and places to shop.
The narrow winding cobblestone streets, with their buildings in so many different shades of gold, give Gamla Stan its unique character.
