Stroll around the Old Town and visit the Royal Palace

The Royal Palace is one of the biggest palaces in Europe, dating back to the 1700s. Here on the outskirts of the Old Town, you can watch the daily changing of the guard and visit some of the palace museums. Then travel back to the Middle Ages with a stroll down the Old Town's cobbled streets and narrow alleyways. Here you'll find genuine art shops, gourmet restaurants and souvenir shops. If you want to experience a historical stay, why not check in at Scandic Gamla Stan.
