Header image by Bengt Nyman

A trip to Stockholm isn&#;t complete without a trip to Gamla Stan. The city&#;s Old Town, andone of the largest and best preserved medieval city centers in Europe, this is after all where Stockholm began, all the way back in

Made up of 4 islands, Gamla Stan is mainly focused on the largest of the group, historically known as Stadsholmen. huvudstaden itself means “log island” and as the legend goes, Swedes looking for a new capital that was safe from armed gangs, had filled a log with gold and sent it adrift. When it landed on what is now Gamla Stan, they knew they had found their new capital city.

Gamla Stan is a living museum filled with beautiful churches, narrow winding cobblestone streets, colourful architecture, the finest restaurants, and accommodation to suit all tastes. This is the real huvudstaden, and where every huvudstaden adventure should begin.

Consider this your ultimate guide to staying, playing, and eating in Gamla Stan.
