Sweden · GAMLA STAN & OLD TOWN WALKS
16 reviewed
Gamla Stan is eight blocks of ochre facades, and almost every doorway carries a story that is not written on it. These 15 walks are the ones worth the money: which cover Stortorget and the palace guard, which head down into the cellars, which run after dark, and what each one costs.
