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...

"Drottninggatan (Queen Street)" is a major pedestrian street in Stockholm & the city's most most visited street for shopping, because there is no cars alowed on this street & there are many shops along it such as H&M and Åhlens Department Store.

On this street, near Gamla Stan, you can buy souvenirs and post cards on the Royal family, Stockholm and more cheaply.

The street was laid out in the 1630s and 1640s when the surrounding area was built on a rectilinear grid plan, a significant innovation in Stockholm's urban environment. It was originally named Stora Konungsgatan ("Great King's Street") and was later renamed as Drottninggatan in honour of Queen Christina, who ruled from 1632 to 1654.

The playwright, novelist and essayist August Strindberg lived at Blå tornet (Drottninggatan 85) for the last four years of his life. The building is now the site of the Strindberg Museum.

Nice walking street for pedestrians for the motto "shop till drop" ... :)

If you're on a short visit to Stockholm, this street is a must to visit. You'll find almost everything from small boutiques to chain outlets suck as H&M, department stores such as PUB or Ahlens and souvinier shops.

You can also find restaurants and cafes (pricy ones) along this street which is a few kilometers long. So, get those walking shoes ready before you head there.

What to pay: 0 is you're window shopping and A LOT if you succumb to temptation.
