Drottninggatan
A pedestrian shopping street running from the north edge of the Old Town to the Observatory Hill, lined with chain brands, souvenir shops, and department stores.
Drottninggatan is the busiest pedestrian shopping street in Stockholm. It runs from across from the Riksdag building in the south to Observatoriekullen in the north, about 1.5 kilometers in total. Lined with H&M, Åhléns department store, souvenir shops, and cafés, it is also close to NK department store and to the fruit and vegetable stalls and concert hall at Hötorget. The northern section is home to the August Strindberg Museum, the former residence of the playwright. It is a good place to spend a half day shopping. Keep your receipts if you want a tax refund. The street gets crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings.
