Old Town

To experience Gamla stan (the Old Town) is a must for those who visit Stockholm for the first time. The medieval quarters are remarkably well preserved. Just a few blocks away from the bustling commerce in Västerlånggatan you´ll get a feel of medieval Stockholm. 
 
The Old Town is both a must and a tourist trap. Österlånggatan and Köpmangatan for example are more genuine than Västerlånggatan. If your prefer just to take a stroll around and enjoy the atmosphere don´t forget to try to look into the narrow streets.

Skansen

A good way to get to know more about Swedish history is to visit Skansen. This open air museum is built like a "Sweden in miniature". Here you'll find old historical buildings, farms and an old handicraft center.
 
Some of the buildings at Skansen predate the opening of the open air museum, others have been moved to Skansen but are not counted as a part of either the townquarter or the countryside. Included in this category are Ferdinand Bobergs Observatory, Bredablick Tower, Bragehallen, Kronbergs Ateljé and various office buildings.
 
Väla skola is an example of the vast number of schools that were built in the Swedish countryside in the middle of the 19th century. Parliament had passed a law in 1842 requiring school attendance of the part of all children. Here we can see what Väla School looked like in about 1910. Väla School is open to visitors all the year round.
 
Visit the Nordic animals in Skansen's zoo. The zoo contains wild life from the Nordic regions (elk, wolverine, wolf etc) along with more ordinary animals (pigs, horses, cows etc). But there is also a big chance that you might run into som of Skansen's more excotic inhabitants, the peacocks for example.
