View of Stockholm from Skinnarviksberget

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you really have the most amazing view over the rooftops of Stockholm. On the one hand, the colorful buildings and then the water, just wonderful. In summer, the boys meet up here probably to celebrate. If you like it quiet, it should be earlier.

Gamla Stan (Stockholm Old Town)

Highlight • Settlement

Gamla stan (Swedish; actually gamla staden, "the old town") is the old town of the Swedish capital Stockholm, located on the island of Stadsholmen. It is located in the Södermalm district. In Gamla stan you can find the castle built by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger as well as the two churches Storkyrkan (St. Nicholas Church) and Tyska kyrkan (German Church). In the Storkyrkan you can find the outstanding medieval equestrian sculpture of St. George fighting the dragon by Bernt Notke, which can also be found in bronze in the old town.

As a tourist you really have to come here.

The facades that house the popular cafés Kaffeklopen and Chokladkop are very characteristic of Gamla Stan. These are one of the most photographed houses in Stockholm.

Gamla Stan (Stockholm's Old Town)

Highlight • Historical Site

Gamla Stan, the colorful and lively Old Town of the Swedish metropolis, is located exactly on three islands: Stadsholmen, which is often referred to as Gamla Stan, Helgeandsholmen and Riddarholmen. Already in earliest time already existed here a fortress-like plant, which served for the control of the Mälaren Baltic passage. Of a settlement, however, was far from the question. Only from 1252 Stockholm was first mentioned in documents under the government of Birger Jarls. But from that point on, Stockholm's development as the capital of Sweden progressed incessantly, until it established itself permanently in medieval Europe with its reputation as a metropolis. The resident merchants and the Hanseatic League did the rest to increase Stockholm's influence and prosperity. This development was inhibited by the devastating fire in 1625; Nearly all wooden buildings in the old town fell victim to the fire.

But this misfortune did not bring Stockholm from its way to the trading metropolis. The most impressive buildings in the historic city center include the Royal Palace, the Reichstag building and the two churches of Storkyrkan and Tyska Kyrkan. The picturesque and at the same time magnificent old town of Stockholm is not only popular with the inhabitants of Sweden's capital - every day countless tourists are passed through this beautiful quarter; Buses spew out their human cargo, which rush with drawn cameras on the sights of Gamla Stan. Those who want to avoid these crowds, however, have to relocate their old town stroll early in the morning, as long as the tourists still sit in the hotel at breakfast. If you can not do this, you can try to avoid the side streets. In the Prästgatan it is quite possible to discover a quiet spot where one can contemplate the unique medieval mood of the Gamla Stan.

Stortorget, Gamla Stan (Old Town)

Highlight • Historical Site

It may not be particularly large, but it is all the more steeped in history - Stortorget, Stockholm's former market square in the colorful Gamla Stan. Even without knowing about the events that took place here a long time ago, you can sense that this square is something special. The beautiful facades and gables of the buildings on the west side of Stortorget, as well as the cozy cafés on the ground floor of the houses, suggest that the square had an almost idyllic past. But appearances are deceptive. What is probably the most frequently photographed city motif today was the scene of a gruesome bloodbath towards the end of 1520. When the Danish King Christian "Tyrant" II ordered the execution of over 80 members of Stockholm's upper society, the condemned were literally beheaded on this square. The legendary Stockholm bloodbath colored the floor of Stortorget blood red and brought the king a "success" that lasted only a few years. It can't be a coincidence that exactly 82 white stones were embedded in the house at Stortorget 20.

An equally dominant and important building is the former stock exchange, which was inaugurated by King Gustav III at the end of the 18th century. For many years, both the stock exchange and the Swedish Academy were housed under the roof of this building. Since 2001, the Nobel Museum has been located in this building, which is quite interesting, but with its promising name promises more than the exhibits on display can deliver. The wall of the house on the corner of Prästgatan and Kakbrinken is worth seeing. In the 11th century, a rune stone was walled into this wall, but its function can no longer be determined. All in all, Stortorget is a picturesque jewel of the Swedish metropolis, and one should be willing to allow oneself to be enchanted by its medieval charm.
