From this small island, I would advise you to start your first acquaintance with Stockholm. There are no cafes, shops, hotels - only administrative buildings. So you will not stay here for a long time, but you will get a more complete picture of the city. The most interesting objects on the island are the Riddarholmen Church, where all Swedish kings are buried (unfortunately, the church is open only in summer) and a monument to the founder of Stockholm, Birger Jarl, dressed in armor exactly like that of an epic Russian hero. The most inquisitive can also find a tower left from a defensive wall that once existed here in the 17th century. All in all, it's a pretty quiet place. You can sit on a bench, eat a sandwich, think about the eternal.. .
