We live pretty much at the tip of the red arrow on the map opposite. Gamla Stan is the historic heart of the city, full of narrow streets and touristy shops. The main shopping areas and most tourist attractions are to the north of there. The island we live on is called Södermalm - it was traditionally the working class part of town but has been gentrified to some extent.and has plenty of kids with tight jeans and undercuts. It's got a reputation as one of the cooler sides of town which is probably why work put us here.
