Review & FAQ:
Stortorget (The Big Square) is the oldest public square in Stockholm and one of the city’s most popular tourist attractions. Located in the old town central of Gamla Stan, the historic center was built in the 13th century and formed the heart of the old town of Stockholm.
The square was used as a market square and a central meeting place and was known as the political heart of the city until the city hall moved to the Bondeska Palace in 1732. Today, the square is bordered by beautiful patrician houses and is occasionally the scene of demonstrations and performances. It is also renowned for its traditional Christmas market, which presents local cuisine and handicrafts.
