Stortorget is the main square and all the big attractions lead off it, including the Royal Palace (Kungliga Slottet) and The Royal Chapel (Storkyrkan).
Around 3,000 people live in the Old Town and it is packed with cafés, restaurants, tourist shops, studios, galleries and museums.

The Old Town is a perfect place to botanize among Swedish souvenirs
Due to the COVID-19 threat most tables were empty this summer 2020
These tables are only for the Swedish Vikings or the very brave ones who doesn’t fear the Swedish winter
There are lots of restaurants and cafes here, this one is called “Under the chestnut” obviously referring to the chestnut tree

When the sun is setting the colors in the alleys colored to gold
One of many churches, here is the Royal Chapel (Storkyrkan)
