stockholm old town

斯德哥尔摩老城在城市正中心的一个小岛上，是最有斯德哥尔摩风格的地方。老城的街道狭窄，街道两边店铺林立，十分热闹，还有很多艺人沿街表演。瑞典皇宫和斯德哥尔摩大教堂等重要景点都在老城中。

旧城区当然是Stockholm最负盛名的地点之ㄧ,也是每个旅客应当要去走走的地方.旧城区的街道拥有不可抗拒的魅力,走在其中,让人有着愉悦的感受,并且有太多值得停下脚步的巷道,建筑,招牌与小店.虽然在主要的区域里有着拥挤的人潮,但是在许多的街道转角里,还是有着让人惊喜的宁静.走上一圈,或许需要好几个小时,因为有太多的地方值得停下脚步去欣赏.记得多安排一些时间!

老城最让我难忘的,不是老建筑小巷弄,餐馆酒吧,而是驾着独木舟逆留流上的勇士,眼看他船翻了,不一会儿他又从激流中翻上来,愈挫愈勇,我站在岸边看得出神,心想这是怎样的精神毅力,才让他不断往前进 ？

喜欢老城的街道，窄窄的，非常有味道。两侧是咖啡馆的室外长椅，有时候，一杯咖啡，一本书，可以端坐一个下午~老城有很多景点，如宏伟的斯德哥尔摩大教堂，周日的话可以看到做弥撒的市民，和唱赞美诗的美丽画面。但是一定要保持安静，尊重他们的信仰。还有王宫，士兵换岗仪式等~同时，老城也有很多美味的饭馆和咖啡店，但是要注意哦，瑞典的物价很贵，一般是150~200瑞典克朗一人，瑞典克朗和人民币的汇率差不多的哦~瑞典的著名的小木马也是旅游纪念品不得不买的东西，但是价钱很贵，一个3cm的红色小木马要130克朗，如果是瑞典自产的话，但是如果买亚洲产的，则会便宜很多，一般50克朗~

我认为这里非常值得花时间去体验因为这周边的古城有许多值得看的地方。古城里到处都是各种小街道什么的,相互交错。我们的导游为我们介绍了当地的主要旅游景点,我们便开始了游览。这个古城非常安静,人们的生活也都相对比较简单舒适,而且这里的所有商店,包括饭馆和咖啡馆什么的也都是直到晚上10点以后才开门我们发现这里有一些艺术家在街角落玩牌。导游提醒我们说这里这一带的治安其实并不是太好,有许多小偷出没什么的,要我们多加小心提防。

最近我去斯德哥尔摩出差,抽空去逛了逛老城区。无论什么时候,这里的景色都非常美。这里的商店种类更多,而且更具有瑞典风情。大家一定要来看看,这里离斯德哥尔摩中央车站也很近。Stockholm Central Station.

斯京的水晶很有名。这边老城临海，风景不错。逛下来一圈大概1小时左右，有些卖给游客的纪念品啥的。这边有个中餐馆还不错，忘了名字了，价格大概在80kr-100kr，自助。

因为这次在瑞典的时间有点短，所以很多地方都是借由观光巴士参观的，这有点可惜，其实买了斯德哥尔摩卡应该要好好利用，交通与博物馆的部分

斯德哥尔摩老城（Gamla Stan），看Sto的地图就能发现，这个城市是由很多岛屿组成的，老城则是最中心的一个，也是历史文化沉淀最深的一个，老城内布满了密密麻麻的景点，往深了逛怕是一两天也打不住的，我们就继续自己的蜻蜓点水之旅。在刚进入老城的时候，Sto给我的印象一下子从单纯的博物馆很多的大都市，变成了小街小巷的欧洲小城（在本次Sto旅程中，这种传统与现实交错的恍惚感一直没有停止过），远远望去，一个地标一样的黑色尖顶教堂矗立在那边。

Clean, many shops, reminds some of Old Riga in Latvia. Many nice cosy small restaurants which are not suitable for baby strollers.

Many nice places to eat and drink and you get nice views around town. If you have not been visiting Old Town, you have not been in Stockholm, so it is a must, but I have the feeling that the many of the hip places are moving out of the area, and going to the south or 'Söder' as it might be called.

If you love architecture and photography, you can spend hours in here capturing the centuries gone by. In between snapshots, go into one of the cafes for a good coffee. I went downstairs into a 600-year-old underground prison for my coffee - that's a change of pace alright!

Nice and friendly cafes and restaurants, easy to find your way around and definitely worth a visit. Prices are actually accessible if you have the time to explore the right places.

We spent Sunday morning / lunchtime around here. This is actually what I thought Stockholm would be like, so definitely worth a look and in spite of all the shops being shut in the area, we had a very pleasant few hours.

Walking here is fantastic - just walk, and walk and walk. When it comes times to take any sort of transportation, don't fret...it's easier than it may appear.Transportation in this town is great. Once you get over the fear of the confusing words - you can make it. I stayed 19 days and took the trains, buses, subways and cabs. The cabs were really expensive - as you might imagine. It costs $60 to go the same distance as $3 on the subway.From Arlanda - there is an express that will take you from the airport into the main terminal in Stockholm - I think it was called Central. From there it is much like the New York subway system - the lines are colored and one end goes in one direction and the other side of the track goes the other direction. The trains are quick to come, the longest I ever waited was about 7 minutes. Always look at the train map that is on the deck of the train platform - the name of the train will say its final destination. Look at the map - find the last stop - and that will be the name on that train. That way you will know which direction you are going in. If you mess up and get on a train going in the wrong direction, do not panic. Just get off at the next stop, cross over the track, and catch the next train going in the direction that you want to go.After a few days you should be able to hear the words a bit better. Plan means Square. So, say you will hear "Nesta Brommaplan." They are staying NEXT STOP (Nesta) Bromma Square. The main language hang up for us are the vowels - but you will get it. For the first ten days I just counted the stops and then I caught on. Same thing with the buses - the buses and the trains have location signs that come up before the stops - so if you watch you will never go wrong. BUT on the bus, push the STOP button before the stop that you want, they are located on the poles in the aisles, because if you dont, and there isnt anyone waiting, they will pass that stop up. If you miss it, just tell the driver and get off at the next stop, cross over the road, and wait for the next bus to go back.All Swedish people say that everyone there speaks Swedish, this is true to a limit. They may speak just enough to point out a direction to you. So if the first person cant answer you, just go to the next. The ticket sellers in all transportation areas can fill you in - so always go to them.At night - I took the train back to where I was staying - 21 stops away - then I went outside and waited for my bus - by looking at the numbers of the bus - and took the bus for 6 stops. I dont speak Swedish and I was only anxiety riden the first day - after knowing what I did not know - I was calm.To dial emergency in Sweden, I believe it is 112. Also, if you have any sort of issue, go to a foreigner as opposed to a Swedish person. Sweds keep to themselves and do not like to get involved in things. I had no issue though, I mean no issue anywhere and I was coming home at very late hours from working....so, really, I felt quite safe.You can purchase a travel card - and keep refilling it in machines at the stations. Lets say that it was about $3 each direction - if you are going to travel alot in a day - get a day pass.I took the big trains as well into the country - they were nice...you will need to give yourself a bit more time to familiarize yourself - so dont come last minute. They had tea and sweets on the train and some have free internet.Fresh bread was incredible....dont miss out on that. This place is beyond beautiful.
