I decided to go exploring Old Town, the supposedly most beautiful part inside Stockholm, or at least the part that resembles that of 100 years ago, where one can go and watch locals living among ancient buildings, old alleys, hidden spots and the best part, not crowded or full of loud tourists.
It can almost be looked as a little Oasis of old vibes within an island surrounded by the craziness, noise, stress and daily problems that modern Stockholm has in store. In a previous post I mention how Scandinavians are cold not very friendly - generally - but the exception to the rule presents here in Old town, where every store employee (or perhaps even the owner) receives you with a smile and avid to strike a small conversation, people on the street are friendly and yeah, it is a bit crowded by group of school kids on a field trip.
Overall, Old town in Stockholm is perhaps not as beautiful as other European Capitals I´ve visited in the past but it definitely is a great place to check out, especially because there is an unspoken magic that you don´t feel when walking anywhere else in the city, a sort of Homestead and coziness that modern Stockholm lacks.
I hope you enjoy this massive, incredibly long gallery as much as I enjoyed taking the pictures. It was a partly clouded sunny days, so I got lucky with some of the pics, in some others I didn´t so much. As far as I can tell, immersion into the vibe of the city won´t be that hard :)
