Bastugatan Stockholm

Cobble streets of Stockholm

Bjorn from Stockholm

"Venture further, and you'll discover the enchanting side streets, Bellmangatan and Tavastgatan. Each exudes its own unique charm."

Nestled in the heart of Stockholm lies a hidden gem that encapsulates the city's rich history and architectural charm - Bastugatan. This enchanting cobblestone street, with its steep incline, invites visitors on a journey through time and culture.

As you step onto Bastugatan, the cobblestones beneath your feet whisper tales of centuries past. Architecturally, Bastugatan is a beautiful street with old charm. The buildings that line the street boast intricate facades adorned with ornate details that tell stories of the craftsmen who once labored here. You'll find old leaning houses with painted-on windows from the turn of 18/1900's.

Venture further, and you'll discover the enchanting side streets, Bellmangatan and Tavastgatan. Each exudes its own unique charm. Bellmangatan, named after the famous Swedish poet Carl Michael Bellman. Tavastgatan, on the other hand, takes you back in time with its preserved architecture and timeless ambiance.

Bastugatan, Bellmangatan, and Tavastgatan are more than just streets; they are living stories waiting to be explored. They remind us that even in the midst of a bustling modern city, the past can be found around every corner, ready to inspire those who seek it. So, the next time you find yourself in Stockholm, take a stroll down these enchanting streets and let their history and charm inspire your own journey.

Stockholm Spotter Bjorn

About me I work in hospitality and have been a tour guide for many years. I love travelling, eating and discovering new places. I run a travel blog, and I enjoy helping others to have a better visit in Stockholm. Why Stockholm? It is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, built on islands and surrounded by water. Stockholm offers everything from old 13th-century buildings to modern architecture and has a great food scene. Where can you find me online? <a hr...
