Description

We start at Sergels Torg / Sergel Square, known locally as "Plattan," which is a vibrant hub in central Stockholm named after Swedish sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel. It is a favorite meeting place for locals and an epicenter for city events and protests. 


Norrmalmstorg / Norrmalm Square: This area became internationally famous due to the 1973 bank robbery that coined the term "Stockholm Syndrome." Today, it is a picturesque, upscale area surrounded by boutiques and cafes, and tourists can appreciate its intriguing history.
