Among Stockholm sights, Gamla Stan, the cobblestoned Old Town whose narrow alleyways are lined with restaurants and boutiques, is foremost. One of the best-preserved medieval city centers in Northern Europe, its oldest structures date to the thirteenth century.

Make time for a leisurely stroll through this scenic area, capped by a stop at one of its outdoor cafes for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. The premier destination for visitors interested in Swedish history and culture, Gamla Stan is also home to Sweden's Royal Palace and Nobel Museum.
