Prästgatan, Pedestrian street in Gamla stan, Stockholm, Sweden
The 467-meter Prästgatan street features medieval cobblestones and runs parallel to other main passages in Stockholm's Old Town district.
During the 16th century, the street housed chaplain residences and a bell-ringer dwelling, leading to its name Prästgatan, meaning Priest Street.
The intersection at Kåkbrinken contains a runestone from 1070-1100, displaying inscriptions dedicated by parents Torsten and Frögunn to their son.
The car-free environment allows visitors to explore numerous shops and cafes while connecting major landmarks from Storkyrkobrinken to Österlånggatan.
Waste pipes from the 17th century remained visible on building facades until the 1860s when Stockholm implemented modern sanitation systems.
