Prästgatan is a street in Stockholm’s Old Town, with houses that Visit Stockholm describes as picturesque. The street is mentioned as early as 1586. Its name means “Priest Street”: priests from Stockholm Cathedral and the German Church lived there. At the corner of Prästgatan and Kåkbrinken, a rune stone dating to 1100 is built into the wall. Visit Stockholm says the street is a favourite spot for Instagrammers.

A visit here is a walk along the street, with a stop at the Kåkbrinken corner to see the stone in the wall. The houses and the street’s name offer some context: Prästgatan was associated with priests from two churches, while the rune stone is dated to 1100. The specific detail to look for is the stone where the two streets meet. The destination is listed as Prästgatan, Stockholm. Visit Stockholm’s mention of Instagrammers points to the street and the stone as subjects for photographs. The place is a street to explore on foot, rather than a single indoor attraction.
