A Walking Guide to the Old Town of Scandinavia|Strolling Through Stockholm's Old Town

Encountering Fairy Tales on Rainy Days|Centuries of Time in Stockholm's Old Town The drizzly Stockholm Old Town feels like an ancient Nordic elegy. As one of the best-preserved medieval city centers in the world, its history dates back to the 13th century 🧐 Red wooden houses and cobblestone streets complement each other, with every corner telling a story. - 🏰 Highlights: 1️⃣ Stroll the cobblestone streets: Wear non-slip shoes to wander through alleys paved with round stones, the sound of raindrops hitting the bluestone roads is especially soothing. ❤️ Be careful, the streets are slippery when wet! (📍Södermalm district, open all day) 2️⃣ Visit Norrmalm Square: The central square of the Old Town, surrounded by colorful North German-style buildings, every photo looks like a postcard 📸 3️⃣ Tour the Royal Palace of Sweden: Although it’s raining, the palace interior is perfect for exploring, remember to check the guard changing times in advance (📍Slottsbacken 1) 4️⃣ Candy House Adventure: Discovered a century-old candy shop by chance, its pink exterior looks especially dreamy in the rain 🍬 (📍Västerlånggatan 60) - ☔️ Travel Tips: ▪️ October is often rainy, bring a folding umbrella and waterproof jacket ▪️ The Old Town’s narrow streets are easy to get lost in, remember to use navigation ▪️ Many souvenir shops are closed on Sundays, plan your time accordingly ▪️ Try the local mulled wine, it’s especially warming on rainy days 🍷 -
