Gamla Stan and the Royal Palace
Half a day
All year
Start at Stortorget with its painted houses, then follow narrow lanes such as Mårten Trotzigs gränd, the city's narrowest street, to the Royal Palace, one of Europe's largest palaces with more than 600 rooms. You can visit the royal apartments and the Treasury and watch the changing of the guard in the outer courtyard.
Good to know
- Guard-change times differ between summer and winter
- The lanes are cobbled: wear comfortable shoes
