Stockholm City Hall
Your first day of the 3 days in Stockholm itinerary starts with Stockholm City Hall. Enjoy a leisurely walk by the waterfront to appreciate its architecture. For a deeper insight, you can take a guided tour of the interior or climb up to the City Hall tower for a view of central Stockholm.
Stockholm City Hall holds a special place in my heart as it's where my husband and I got married!
I highly recommend visiting Stockholm City Hall, especially during spring, and summer, or to see the autumn foliage.
Explore Gamla Stan (Old Town)
After checking out Stockholm City Hall, consider a stroll along Vasabron, a bridge that links Norrmalm to Gamla Stan, the old city. Gamla Stan is a must-see with its medieval roots and is one of Europe's largest and best-preserved medieval city centers.
Here, you'll find plenty of souvenir shops. To avoid the crowds, a morning visit is best. This area is filled with historic streets and classic restaurants.
Your first stop in Gamla Stan should be the House of Nobility, known for its grand 17th-century architecture and numerous coats of arms. Although it's closed for renovation in 2024, the building's exterior is still worth a look.
Next, head to the Riddarholmen islet to see the Riddarholmen Church, famous for its historical significance and royal burials. Don't forget to snap a photo in front of Stenbock's Palace, easily recognizable by its pink facade.
After the islet, make your way to Storkyrkan, Stockholm's oldest church. Its stunning architecture and rich history make it a key attraction in the Old Town.
