Remember that time where we went to Gamla Stan to see the Royal Palace and the Changing of the Guards? CLICK HERE to see that blog post.
I chose to blog about this again because it is one of the main streets of Stockholm. I bet you'll see it if you go to Gamla Stan eight out of ten times.

So far from my stay here in Stockholm, when we pass Drottninggatan, one thing really overpowers from the rest. The people. The monstrous number of people is because of the scattered restaurants and shops here in the street, and that Drottninggatan is also a direct way to the T-Centralen and Hotorget Stockholm subway stations, and Stockholm City itself.
Not just restaurants and shops are present here, but there are also some hair salons, coffeehouses and a theater. Drottningatan is also connected to another street that gives you a quick passage to the City Conference Center and Norra Bantorget.
Continue walking straight in Drottningatan and you will be welcomed by a stunning view of Gamla Stan, including a view of the Stockholm City Hall.
Just after the bridge are two magnificent archways which (in my opinion) symbolize the beauty of the architecture of the old town of Stockholm. Just think that when these archways were built, they didn't have as much technology as we have today, so this costed them lots of effort and workmanship.

The number of people in this picture wasn't as much as there was though, because I didn't take a photo from up a hill which Drottninggatan passes through (which is near our house).

This is the view from the bridge, note the Stockholm City Hall on the right side.

The Archways of Drottninggatan.
Once you cross both archways, you can proudly say that you're in the heart of Sweden, Gamla Stan. Literally, Gamla Stan means "The Old Town". The Royal Palace is just a quick two-three minute walk, and don't forget to see the Changing of the Guards while you're there.
