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.

Emmanuel Jefferson

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 .

Michael Campanella

Once the site of the Stockholm bloodbath, today it is one of the most popular squares in Gamla Stan.

Notice 92 white stones on Schantz's house (the red one), symbolizing 92 victims of Stockholm Bloodbath, mass execution in 1520.

If you look up and look closely, you'll find three, perhaps four canon balls in two walls surrounding the square. Want to know why they are there? Facebook or Tweet us and we'll tell you why.

Площадь ,в готовую сходятся невероятно красивые маленькие улочки )

Наталия Рудовская

Здесь приятный рынок . Можно купить и попробовать местные деликатесы . Я купила sick, это белая рыба . Стоимость 80 шведских крон - это порядка 90 грн

Anna

Уютная , небольшая площадь в сердце Стокгольма. Летом здесь живая музыка и многолюдные открытые веранды . Зимой - рождественский рынок .

Manel Castilla

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!

Vanessa Kern

A praça é um amor, rende várias fotos e fica perto de tudo!

Антон Батов
