Gamla Stan is the old town and, in a way, the original cell of Stockholm. The city expanded from here. The island on which the old town is located is called "Stadsholmen", even if the name is rarely found on street maps.
The old town is associated with the narrow streets, the many old gabled houses painted in earth tones and the small squares with their cafés, restaurants, galleries and craft shops.
