WHERE TO STAY IN STOCKHOLM: BEST AREAS AND HOTELS
1. Stay in Gamla Stan, the historic center of Stockholm
The historic center of Stockholm is the most beautiful area of the city, medieval and cobbled streets, buildings with beautiful facades and with most of the places of interest to see in Stockholm. For all these reasons, it is a great option to stay here since you can walk everywhere. However, it is also the most expensive option.
In this area, most of the normal hotels exceed 150 euros per night in rooms. Double. Even sometimes much more, depending on the time of year.
If you go for one or two nights it is a good option, although if you don't mind having to take transport to get to the center, the following alternatives that I propose are cheaper and also more comfortable.
