Walking Tours in Stockholm

Finding an Address -- All even numbers are on one side of the street, and all odd numbers are on the opposite side. Buildings are listed in numerical order but often have an A, B, or C after the number. In the very center of town, numbered addresses start from Sergels Torg.

Maps -- Free maps of Stockholm are available at the tourist office, but if you want to explore the narrow old streets of Gamla Stan, you'll need a more detailed map. Pocket-size maps, with a street index that can be opened and folded like a wallet, are sold at most newsstands in central Stockholm and at major bookstores, including Akademibokhandeln, Mäster Samuelsgatan 28 (tel. 08/402-11-00).
