Walks in Gamla Stan.

One editor-picked walk through Gamla Stan, plus nearby routes for the same morning if you want to keep going.

Other walks close to Gamla Stan.

Sorted by distance from the start of gamla stan: the old town alleys. Good for stitching together a longer day.

The cast-iron spire, the Lake Mälaren view, and across the water to the tower of the Nobel banquet.

Across the golden-crowned bridge to the Moderna Museet, a tall ship, and the best view back to the Old Town.

Twenty-five minutes by boat and you're on a rock in the skärgård, smokehouse and all.

The rebuilt lock, a photography museum on the quay, and the terrace where Stockholm poses for its portrait.
