Gamla Stan is one of the largest and best preserved medieval city centers in Europe, characterized by cobbled streets and archaic architecture. It is composed of 4 islands: Stadsholmen, Riddarholmen, Helgeandsholmen and Strömsborg. The central point is Stortorget, the scenic square with the colorful narrow houses.

A beautiful little square in in the middle of Old Town, Gamla Stan. It is surrounded by nice colourful medieval age buildings. There are a lot of shops, bars and restaurants nearby. A place for people watch.

The old town is very pretty to look at but i did get tired of seeing all the touristy shops. Also the cobblestone streets make pushing a pushchair hard work.

Stortorget is a public square in the old town of central Stockholm. It is also a historical landmark due to it being the oldest square in Stockholm. When I was here this square was quite busy tourist and others as it has a historic coffee shop that we visited a couple times. The coffee shop has been here since 1649. The square also has a great view of colourful buildings that are very popular for people and tourists to take photos of.

Most epic location in Gamla Stan, emblematic of Stockholm with the beautiful little tall houses, and the Nobel museum.

Nice little historical area in the old town. Loads of souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants

It's not a big platz square like others European town, not many colourful houses, most of them are 4th floor buildings and pretty old. It's nice to walk around to the Palace and church.

Very beautiful town square. Cool place to sit and relax for a minute. You could get some food or shop for some souvenirs. There is also a cool water fountain that is totally drinkable so feel free to fill up your water bottle. Definitely worth a quick visit and picture.

Very beautiful & colorful old square in the centre of Galam stan with some lovely coffee shops & nice restaurant. Must-see place in Stockholm You can visit Nobel Museum in the square as well

Beautiful Nordic old town square and street. Had a great time, suitable for a leisurely walk, I recommend visiting the place in the evening when there is less sun and a more relaxing atmosphere

Beautiful place especially at sunset 🌅

Historical center. Beautiful buildings. Beautiful place. Safe place. Many souvenir stores. Tourists points are usually paid.

Fairly quiet square if you go there in the morning. if you choose to go during the day, there are probably more people here. Nice area, not much else to do if you don't choose to go into the museum or are here during the winter

Beautiful old town at the center of Stockholm. A lot of stuff to see, numerous shops and place to relax. Water in a surround every corner so there's only to relax and enjoy.

August 2022 • beautiful square, always busy! Check it out early in the morning if possible.

Beautiful. Emblematic for Gamla stan. It reminded me Burano island with the coloured houses.

Nice tourist attraction

A cute small old town square. Can sit a bit, looking at crowds and old architectures.

Town square old town here. It’s not super pretty but that’s not a bad thing becuase that means it has been well preserved. It is the iconic view and photo gamla Stan and regardless if how plain it looks it’s a must visit.

Classic Northern European town square. But on the boring side compared to other town squares, with nothing to keep you there the day we visited. The buildings are neat and pretty, great for your bucket list Stockholm pics and then move on.

I guess a must see when you are visiting Stockholm and are walking around in Gamla stan, cozy square if you can look passed the many tourist.

Plaza on the Games Stan, Stockholm. Best place to eat and drink beverages and sight seeing the activity at Gala Stan. In December, the Christmas market is held here.
