The Old Town (Gamla Stan) provides a lively atmosphere with cobbled streets and colorful 17th- and 18th-century buildings. The medieval Storkyrkan cathedral and the Royal Palace are within walking distance. While the entry to the Old Town is free, exploring the architecture and atmosphere is the main attraction.

The Stockholm City Hall stands on Kungsholmen and is famous for hosting the Nobel Prize banquet. The 30-minute visit allows a glimpse of its impressive architecture and surroundings. The admission fee is not included, so plan for any extra costs if you wish to go inside.
