Shopping in Stockholm is easy. Just take the 3 kilometers long Drottninggatan and you'll find almost all the possible shops! Everything from clothes to souvenirs and food is available! Kungsgatan that crosses Drottninggatan, is another bigger shopping street.

When you cross Helgeandsholmen, coming from Gamla Stan, you immediately end up in the main shopping street of Stockholm: Drottningsgatan. Litterly this means Queen's Streets, which indicates the fact that this used to be a luxurious street. Today this image has faded away, especially towards Gamla Stan, because a lot of touristic shops entered here. More towards the north of the street there still are a lot of fashion shops that do look more high-class. Everywhere in Drottningsgatan you can see street artists, showing their skills, singing or playing an instrument.

What to buy: Of course, like everywhere in Stockholm, you won't miss a McDonalds, a KFC and a Burger King in this street. Hamburgers are everywhere here. But besides this, close to Gamla Stan you will find all kinds of souvernirs: T-shirts, statues, toys... Further to the end of the streets you'll see clothes, shoes, perfumes...

The main shopping street of Stockholm is the Drottningsgatan. It goes all the way from Sergels Torg to the southern tip of Norrmalm. Walking straight ahead you will end-up at the shopping streets of Gamla Stan.

Drottningsgatan is not that touristy, though there is a fair amount of souvenir shops (especially T-Shirts), there is also a fair number of normal stores to be found here.
