Sweden's oldest city : walking in Sigtuna #94

Stockholm. I took the bus from Märsta and went to Sigtuna. Sigtuna is a very significant place in the Swedish history. Not only it is the oldest still existing town in the country. It was here that the very first christened king lived, and it was here that the very first coins in Sweden were minted. Sigtuna (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈsɪ̂kːˌtʉːna])[2] is a locality situated in Sigtuna Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden with 8,444 inhabitants in 2010.[1] It is the namesake of the municipality even though the seat is in Märsta. Sigtuna is for historical reasons often still referred to as a stad. Modern-day Sigtuna, a harbor town that was established around 980, developed approximately 4 kilometres east of Old Sigtuna (which according to Norse mythology, was previously the home of Odin).[3] Sigtuna has a medieval-style town centre with restaurants, cafes and small shops. The old church ruins, runic stones and the old main street (Stora gatan) are popular attractions for tourists especially in the summertime. The small streets with the low built wooden houses lead up to several handicrafts shops and the old tiny town hall, (Sigtuna Rådhus). There are restaurants and Sigtuna Stadshotell, a hotel in the town centre.[4] #stockholm​​​​​​​​ #sweden​​​​​​​​ #sigtuna​​ ​​​ Virtual walking tours around Stockholm, Sweden & the rest of the world.
