Very pleasant locaton for a break. You can sit inside the greenhouses and with good weather there are plenty of options outside. Coffee/tea is free refill.

Gamla Stan is the old town and, in a way, the original cell of Stockholm. The city expanded from here. Today, Gamla Stan connects the northern district of Norrmalm with the southern district of Södermalm (to which Gamla Stan belongs administratively). The island on which the old town is located is called "Stadsholmen", even if the name is rarely found on street maps. Gamla Stan is the city between the bridges

The castle was built by the architect Nicodemus Tessin the Younger in the Baroque style and designed as a Roman palace. The castle has more than 600 rooms on eleven floors, with state rooms facing the city and smaller living rooms facing the inner courtyard. There are many sights here: the treasury with the imperial insignia, the Tre Kronor Museum, which tells the story of the castle's medieval history, and last but not least the reception rooms with the pompous state rooms. During the summer months, Gustav III's Antiques Museum and the castle church are also open. The changing of the guard and the Slottsboden souvenir shop attract many visitors.
