This is very great and very informative l have only 2 days in Stockholm l was planning to go with a guru walk tour but with ur help l think l will just do it myself
2:20 Gamla Stan is quaint and charming, but not really the "pulsing heart" of Stockholm (at least not after 1860). Not the place for (most) "authentic" restaurants or shops either anymore. It's mostly a tourist trap these days. The least touristy parts of Stockholm got most of the beautiful architecture. Such as Vasastan, Östermalm, Kungsholmen, and Södermalm. Just avoid places like central Norrmalm, or Medborgarplatsen in Södermalm, as these were "modernised" (destroyed) by the socialists around the 1960s.
Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective on the dynamic cityscape of Stockholm. It's great to hear your thoughts on the areas that retain the city's charm and architectural beauty. 💛 Indeed, Gamla Stan's charm has made it a favorite among tourists, and this can sometimes overshadow its rich historical background. But beyond its cobbled streets and well-preserved buildings, the essence of Stockholm's past is palpable for those who delve into its history. However, it's worth noting that many visitors find a unique allure in these bustling, touristy parts, enjoying the medieval ambiance and timeless architecture of Gamla Stan. On the other hand, districts like Vasastan, Östermalm, Kungsholmen, and Södermalm indeed offer a more local, residential experience and showcase a diverse array of architectural styles. We appreciate your insight and hope future travelers will find it helpful in planning their visit to Stockholm!
