Typical street in the old city

As mentioned, Gamla Stan is the island on which the Royal Palace is located, the soul of the city one may say. Land was scarce around the Castle and other governmental, religious and military buildings thus the buildings tend to be very closed together having as a result this particular narrow streets.

Flower and fruit stand

As I mentioned before, outside a lot of the tunnelbana stations there are small fruit, vegetables and flower stands where you can regularly find good, if not great, prices in national produce, besides you will certainly be helping a lot of local farmers. If you have the chance to stop and check it out, I truly recommend you to do so.
