Stortorget (Swedish: The Great Square) is a small public square in Gamla Stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. It is the oldest square in Stockholm, the historical centre around which the medieval urban conglomeration gradually came into being.
Stortorget (Gamla Stan) 111 29 Stockholm Sweden
Don't forget to drink a Glögg in December in the Christmas Market , a special swedish drink (with or without alcohol ). It will keep you warm while you are walking the Gamla Stan streets.
The tradition of the Christmas Market in the Old Town dates back to the beginning of the 1900s. Open everyday until Christmas the actual market is perhaps not as great as the tradition itself. Cosy!
This is a must in Stockholm. On a sunny summer afternoon enjoy the atmosphere of the square from the terrace of Cafe - Stadsmission.
This is what the main square in the Old Town looked like when the Swedish Academy announced the winner of the Nobel Literature Prize, october 10th 2013. They sit above the Nobel Museum , one floor up!
Cute plaza at the center of Gamla Stan with a bunch of small cafes all around it. This is where the Stockholm bloodbath occurred and 90 people were beheaded by the Danish king in 1520.
Great place to sit and enjoy people walking by. Best place to sit is right in front of the Nobel Museum
This small square has houses like we have back in Amsetrdam! And with the UEFA EL final on May 24 the fans of Ajax will feel at home here! #WeAreBack Go Ajax!
Once the site of the Stockholm Bloodbath today it is a thriving tourist attraction . The square itself is littered with lovely cafés and restaurants .
Once the site of the Stockholm bloodbath, today it is one of the most popular squares in Gamla Stan.
Very colorful, Amsterdam like houses. Best concotion of gift , souvenir shops, and fairs full of local merchandise.
Old time Swedish architecture , you can feel the presence of history lots of people got executed here by gustav vasa
Notice 92 white stones on Schantz's house (the red one), symbolizing 92 victims of Stockholm Bloodbath, mass execution in 1520.
Very nice square. Must visit Nobel museum .

Площадь ,в готовую сходятся невероятно красивые маленькие улочки )
Здесь приятный рынок . Можно купить и попробовать местные деликатесы . Я купила sick, это белая рыба . Стоимость 80 шведских крон - это порядка 90 грн
Уютная , небольшая площадь в сердце Стокгольма. Летом здесь живая музыка и многолюдные открытые веранды . Зимой - рождественский рынок .
Plaza encantadora y bulliciosa (según la norma sueca)
Сторторгет - Большая площадь , на самом деле, очень маленькая! Конечно, ее нельзя сравнить с прекрасными площадями Брюсселя или Мюнхена... Но она очень уютная и домашняя , совсем не столичная!
A praça é um amor, rende várias fotos e fica perto de tudo!
Маленькому старому городу маленькая площадь )
İsvaç Akademisi binası;Fbenist cafe
После Нового Года - ничего интересного, просто приятно погулять по близлежащим улицам

Mysigt att sitta på någon av bänkarna med en bok en varm sommardag.
昔、処刑場だったとされる大広場 。近くにはノーベル博物館 やカフェ が数件あり。
