Stortorget

Stortorget, or the main square in the Old Town, has always been the heart of Stockholm. If cobbles could speak, there would be so many stories to share! Today, it houses the Nobel Museum, a museum dedicated to one of Sweden’s greatest inventors and his legacy.

Prästgatan

The northernmost part of Prästgatan (Priest Street) was once known as Helvetsgränd (Hell's Alley). During the Middle Ages, it was thought that the part that lay northwest of the church was a desecrated resting place for the dead. Storkyrkan (Stockholm Cathedral) is found just around the corner; thus, this part of the street was referred to as Hell.

Marten Trotzigs grand

Mårten Trotzig is the narrowest alley in Stockholm. At its narrowest point, it is only 90cm wide. Some guidebooks claim it is the narrowest alley in Europe, but unfortunately, that is not true; there is one in Prague that is only 60cm wide. With all certainty, there are alleys in other European countries that are narrower than Mårten Trotzig.

Vasa Museum

The Vasa Museum is home to the world's only preserved ship from the 1600s. Together, we will skip the line to enter the Vasa Museum and learn about her story. In short, The Vasa was Sweden's most expensive and richly ornamented naval vessel during the 1600s. When the Vasa sailed forth on her maiden voyage, Stockholms stood along the shore to wish her good luck. They were eyewitness to the disaster. The Vasa capsized and sank inside the Stockholm harbour. Today, the Vasa Ship lies before you, 98% intact.
