I felt it was a bit expensive to visit, but some beautiful art work, and a beautiful gold statue of St. George and the dragon! Worth a visit More

An interesting, big chuch in Gamla stan. Look up the statue "St Göran & draken" and be sure to hear the story about the fight between theese two. A good place to visit with kids. You can sit a while and rest your feet, the acustic is amazing as also the architecture. More

We were two U.S. travelers who attended a Sunday service. The cathedral is incredible on the inside. It's amazing to think the building was constructed nearly 800 years ago around 1250 AD! More

Costs to go in, probably worth it and some interest but not a high priority if you're short of time. More

This is a beautiful cathedral right next to the Royal Palace and the Nobel Museum. There is a modest fee, though if you have the Stockholm Card, that is included with the price of the card. There are some amazing sculptures and arches inside the cathedral - well worth it to stop by, admire, and take some pictures. More
