As mentioned, Gamla Stan is the island on which the Royal Palace is located, the soul of the city one may say. Land was scarce around the Castle and other governmental, religious and military buildings thus the buildings tend to be very closed together having as a result this particular narrow streets. Typical street in the old city. #GamlaStan #Downtown #urban #architecture #street #buildings #

You can find Royal Guards at every single entrance to the Royal Palace. They regularly wear the same uniform but if the guards in charge belong to another specific branch of the Armed Forced they will most likely wear the uniform that belongs to that particular branch.You can also enjoy the Change of the Guard, which takes place everyday around noon.

While walking from Stockholm's Södra Station to Medborgarplatsen, or vice versa, you will unequivocally arrive to Fatbursparken. It is a simple park but what makes it a nice place for just a relaxing walk or even a picnic is the crescent-shaped building designed by Ricardo Bofill, and known as the «Bofills båge», depicted below. The building will be on your right —if you are going towards

This is the Stockholm's Central Train Station or simply Centralstation. This is the neural center of interurban/intercity commuting; as almost all European capitals, Stockholm is well served by rail services to other major Swedish cities and other neighboring foreign cities. IMO, when you are here you feel like time has stopped, as if you were in the 1950s. Have I told you that I love trains?

This is Stadsteatern or The City's Theater, the main venue for big or renown productions coming to the Capital of Scandinavia.

Kungsträdgården or The King's Garden is a major reunion point for the locals, many times —perhaps weekends would be more appropriate— a year there are mini concerts and other kind of company-sponsored kind of festivals and it's close to both the river and the popular spots around. There are cherry trees and when they bloom it looks very beautiful.The King's Garden. #Kungsträdgården #urbanPark

Just across Sergels Torg you get to the Hötorget buildings, which are 5, most of them filled with offices, clinics, clothing and a few electronic stores.Nonetheless, it's a nice promenade from and around T-Centralen/Centralstation and you don't just get to know the real core, the heart, of the city but a clash of several different construction styles and periods among the little streets; from

The sculpture Crystal — vertical accent in glass and steel by Edvin Öhrström is the dominant feature of Sergelstorg, the heart of the City. Chances are that you will pass a lot of times by this square while sightseeing around downtown since it's the main commuting hub of the Greater Stockholm Area.

This is the North wing of the Stiftelsen Östekonomiska Institutet (Institute of Transition Economics or SITE) building. I like the style of the building as a whole and I enjoy the fact that this wing was built in an Art-Deco-y kind of style, at least accordingly to my —really— poor "expert" architectural eye. The façade is very cool, I will leave it for another day. Stiftelsen Östekonomiska

This is (actually, the back of) the city's Main Library building. The architecture is, to my taste, quite boring for a library. Call me crazy, but I think a library building should always have columns; always! I said. Its interior, par contre, is way better than its exterior and it's worth the visit. I guess I get it: sure, uggly building, nice interior. Kind of «don't judge a book by its cover»,

I was on the bridge that connects Norrmalm to Gamla Stan and, this, to Södermalm. During autumn you can actually track Earth's revolution around the Sun by looking at its apparent position over Södermalm.

Gamla Stan, the Old Town, is Stockholm's core downtown. Besides the beautiful architecture, you can find the Royal Palace, the Nobel museum, the Mint museum, churches and a lot of other tourist attractions. Personally, I love walking in Gamla Stan any time of the year, being among its small streets feels like traveling back in time. The Old Town. #GamlaStan #Riddarfjärden #Stadsholmen #skyline #

The Stadhus or City Hall, built in 1911, is the seat of the city's government. Every year a dinner for the Nobel Prize laureates takes place in the premises. Most of the building is open to the public; you can also, for a price, go to the top of the tower and have a nice view of downtown.

When you come out Stockholms södra station you have the option to walk North, towards Medborgarplatsen, and pass through Fatbursparken.

Well, this is it's tunnelbana station and, as you can see, people leave their bikes outside the station and a lot of them don't even have a lock; that's civism and trust that nobody will come and steal it—perhaps because around that area there's no need to do so.

Alby tunnelbanestation has a set of huge escalators leading to the northern exit and riding them can easily take over 2 minutes. During the fall of 2014 the SL started changing them thus you could only use them, thankfully, to go up, imagine if you would have to climb those stairs every day? Well, at least you'd save in gym fares due to the amount of cardio you'd be doing daily. Huge escalator. #
