Gåsgränd

Gåsgränd, Pedestrian zone in Gamla Stan, Stockholm, Sweden.

Description

Gåsgränd is a pedestrian passageway in Stockholm's old town that links several streets through narrow cobblestone routes. The path includes a small square in its upper section and descends toward a larger square on the western waterfront.

History

The name dates to the 15th century, honoring Ragnhild Grågås who lived there around 1500. It was recorded as Gragasenne grendh at that time and has served as a vital connection through the old town since then.

Culture

The passageway is lined with shops selling handmade goods and local products, where visitors can explore traditional Swedish crafts. These businesses reflect the artisanal heritage of the old town and invite browsing.

Practical

The passageway is easy to explore on foot and remains accessible to visitors year-round. Flat shoes are recommended since the cobblestones are uneven and the surface can be slippery on inclines.

Did you know?

The path connects three main streets of the old town and offers changing views of the city center depending on which direction you approach from. This network function makes it a natural meeting point and lets visitors traverse the old town from different perspectives.
