Anyone coming to Stockholm for the first time should visit Gamla Stan in any case. Gamla Stan is, so to speak, the original cell of Stockholm. From here, the city spread. Today, Gamla Stan connects the northern district of Norrmalm with the southern district of Södermalm (to which Gamla Stan belongs administratively). By the way, the island on which Gamla Stan is located is called "Stadsholmen", even though the name is rarely mentioned in road maps.
