🇸🇪 Where to live in Stockholm

Stockholm's residential areas are spread across islands and inner-city districts, and each has a clear character. The central districts range from the medieval lanes of Gamla Stan and the shopping streets of Norrmalm to the grand boulevards of Ostermalm and the parks and cafés of Vasastan. Further out, the city shifts toward waterside modern building in Hammarby Sjostad, business and campus areas in Solna, and tech towers in Kista.
