Old Town: Located on the island of Stadsholmen, Stockholm’s Old Town is the original city centre with history dating from the 13th century but most buildings are from the time between 17th and 18th century. It is a glorious labyrinth of charming cobbled streets, alleyways, faded mustard and rust-colored townhouses and meeting squares. We can still see some murals from the Middle Ages on the outside walls of the buildings. t is hard to believe that the Old Town was once considered a slum when it is now a popular tourist attraction packing with cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, studios, galleries and museums.
Royal Palace Square: It houses the Royal Palace or Stockholm Palace, the official residence and executive office of the Swedish royal family, while their actual residence is Drottningholm Palace. The baroque-style Royal Palace was built in the 18th century and has a square floor plan with 1,430 rooms, a large courtyard and other features like museums, galleries, library, etc. The changing of the royal guards on the Square is a top tourist attraction which attracts crowds of visitors every day at around noon.
Drottningholm Palace: The private residence of the Swedish royal family located in a suburb of Stockholm and originally built in the late 16th century. With its castle, perfectly preserved theatre, Chinese pavilion and gardens, the Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the finest example of a northern European royal residence being inspired by the Palace of Versailles.
