Stockholm's Old Town
Stockholm is spread out over many islands and on one of them is the old town, where you can find Stortorget. There are some old buildings here which remind me of the Flemish style somewhat. The square is very beautiful and especially at night time.
People-Watch in Gamla Stan
Take a (colorful) seat and take in your surroundings in Stortorget Square. Listen to street musicians, or have a coffee. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy a break from the tourist shops of Gamla Stan.
