Stockholm's old town

The Old Town, which until 1980 was called "The City between the Bridges", is Stockholm's historic centre and is located on Stadsholmen. For many hundreds of years, the Old Town was Stockholm, and its many narrow streets and alleyways are well preserved. The narrowest alley is Mårten Trotzig's Alley, which is only 90 cm wide at its narrowest point. You can enjoy a snack or a bite to eat at some of the cosy cafés and restaurants in the district. Stockholm's Royal Palace, the King's official residence, is also located in the Old Town.
