The walk continues through Gamla Stan's medieval street network. Narrow alleys, small squares and historic buildings show how the city developed from a trading post to a political and administrative center.

From Gamla Stan, the walk continues along the water via Strandvägen toward Djurgården. During this section, the city's maritime development, relationship to the Baltic Sea and 19th-century expansion are introduced.
