  • By LOUISE AND PAUL H
    Beautiful area in the city with cobbled narrow streets and interesting shops and restaurants. Great to walk around in spring and summer.  more »

    Its really nice but a bit touristy, feels like an desert style square where after evening there is not much to do (like Cite in Paris) but its deffo great if you up for seeing stockholm and the gamla!  more »
