Review & FAQ:
Gamla Stan, also known as the Old Town, is one of the largest and most beautifully preserved medieval city centers in Europe. Officially known as Staden Mellan Broarna (the Town between the Bridges) until 1980, Gamla Stan was literally the birthplace of Stockholm, the place where the city was founded in 1252.
Gamla Stan and the adjacent island of Riddarholmen are home to an array of charming, historic buildings, beautiful churches and museums, restaurants, cafés, and bars, and handicraft, curio, and souvenir shops, creating a living pedestrian-friendly museum. Notable buildings include the Stockholm Cathedral, the Nobel Museum, and the Royal Palace.
