Gamla stan – gatunamnen berättar

The façades of Gamla Stan’s buildings bear the names of the people after whom its streets have been named over the city’s nearly 800-year history.

The winding alleyways here are unlike those in other parts of Stockholm.

Gamla Stan’s role in Stockholm’s history is unique: for many centuries, this was the city itself.

This walking tour tells the stories behind some of Gamla Stan’s street names.

Join an exciting 1.5-hour walk through Gamla Stan, where Stockholm’s history began more than 750 years ago.

Åsa Ohlén-Olsson from Tales & Guiding Stockholm leads the tour, which starts and finishes at Stortorget.
