Experts' Choice Award Stortorget
What the experts agree on
Stockholm's historic heart for eight centuries, Stortorget anchors Gamla Stan with its striking Stock Exchange building and legendary Christmas market. Dark history looms—a 1520 massacre occurred here.
“The Stock Exchange (1776) on the north side has two different activites under one roof. While traders run about the ground floor, the august members of the Swedish Academy occupy the other floors.”
