Gamla Stans Bokhandel is a bookshop at Stora Nygatan 7 in Stockholm’s Old Town. The shop describes its stock as a personal selection of books it believes can make the world wiser and more fun, from classics to contemporary bestsellers. It says it has a large English-language selection.

Visit Stockholm says the shop stocks literary bestsellers in Swedish and English, popular-science books and handy maps. Visitors can browse for a book in either language, look for popular science, or pick up a map. The shop’s own description gives the selection a broad range, from classic titles to current bestsellers.

The bookshop is a short distance from Old Town’s main attractions, according to Visit Stockholm. The city’s visitor guide suggests it as a place to find more reading on Swedish history after a visit to the Royal Castle. For a visitor planning that stop, the shelves offer books and maps alongside the English-language selection. The shop says it is backed by the publishing house Volante.
