8 Monuments & Statues in Gamla Stan & Riddarholmen That You Shouldn't Miss
The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

If I ever have a statue made of me, I want it to look like this! This thing is awesome. A pleasant surprise to stumble on while strolling around Gamla Stan.

Dating back to the 13th century, this church has a distinct character and history. It is the oldest in the Old Town and is home to several relics as well as an impressive statue of Saint George fighting the Dragon. Storkyrkan can pique almost anyone's curiosity, not just the history buff's.

Visited this beautiful Cathedral and loved it although I would have liked to have spent more time. There is an entrance fee of 60 Kroner which goes towards the maintenance of the church. There is a toilet inside! In this Cathedral you will find the seven branched candlestick, the last judgement painting (1696), st George and the Dragon (carved out of oak 1489), the candle globe, the silver altar, the royal pews (1684), the pulpit (1700) the parhelion painting (1535) and the amazing Organ where the facade was made in 1789. This church (st Nicholas) was first mentioned in 1279. As you can see, I loved this visit.

Be sure to visit this slightly out of the way terrace which is wide and has great views towards City Hall. It's a very sunny and peaceful place with great views of the sunset. Liked it so much we went twice!
