On our last afternoon in Stockholm, Vicky and I walked Old Town Stockholm as well as several other areas. This post will be us out walking the town. We had fun and enjoyed just looking to see what was around the next corner. Some of the areas we had already been but wanted to spend more time there. Other places were just because we saw something interesting and followed our noses. Stockholm is a nice walking town with interesting things to see wherever we walked.

Many old European towns have areas with narrow streets. We didn’t see any streets that were narrower or steeper than the one in the first photo. It also had the most graffiti. It was a squeeze to pass people on this street.

The Pedestrian Mall is in the second photo. Our local Stockholm guide (a woman) said that, “it takes a man 20 minutes to walk the pedestrian mall, but a woman takes 2.5 hours”. She went on to say that’s just the way it is. It was a very fun street and for the record, I think we walked it somewhere between 20 minutes and 2.5 hours.

The third photo is just in case you were wondering why it took us longer than 20 minutes to walk the pedestrian mall….

We had several bouts of rain in Stockholm but it only drizzled for a few minutes each time. The rest of the time, the weather was beautiful and the people were out enjoying it like in the fourth photo.

Okay, so maybe I was partly responsible for us taking more than 20 minutes to walk the pedestrian mall as you can see in the last photo. On a side note, Jonas Jerebko is a Swede who played on the Golden State Warriors this past season. I wore one of my Warriors shirts every day in Stockholm. Jerebko is supposed to be the LeBron James of Sweden, yet not one person ever asked me about Jonas when I was in Sweden wearing the Warriors shirt. Oh well, the ice cream was good.
