Here's a favorite alleyway to instantly transform a seaside walk to an adventure experiencing the old city of Gamla Stan, with cobblestone streets, tiny cafes and shops, and its lively, historic town square, where a cannonball can still be seen lodged in the corner of a building (shot from the Danes, the Swedes' primary adversary over the eons). There is also a still-working fountain here, with gargoyles watching the spouts, and associated with a major historical event, the so-called Stockholm Bloodbath.
