_German Church of Stockholm. It can be a landmark in Gamla Stan, the Old Town of Stockholm when you get lost there! It is the highest building in Gamla Stan. _

_Tourists are coming back to Gamla Stan! _

Gamla Stan, with its medieval streets, is a popular tourist destination in Stockholm.　Once you enter the town, you will find many small alleys, which look like a maze.

My favorite cafe in Gamla Stan!

I come to this cafe to read books, eat sweets, and relax.　Whenever I am feeling a little down or down, this cafe always cheers me up.

I left the old town and took a short stroll.　This is Stockholm Stadhuset, where the Academy Awards ceremony is held.　The building is very beautiful in the setting sun.

The building on the right is the Swedish parliament building.　The building on the left across the river is the building where the Prime Minister of Sweden lives.　

Old Town, where vestiges of the Hanseatic League still remain

Many remnants of the Hanseatic period remain in Stockholm's Old Town, German Church of Stockholm is one of them.

According to Wikipedia, German Church of Stockholm is "The German Church (German: Deutsche Kirche, Swedish: Tyska kyrkan), sometimes called St. Gertrude's Church (Swedish: Sankta Gertruds kyrka), is a church in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden." - Wikipedia

Even in the Kalmar League, which was an influence after the Hanseatic League, German influence was felt everywhere in medieval Europe, and whenever I find such vestiges, I realize that Germany is indeed an influential country in Europe.

The German Church is a particularly useful landmark when strolling through Stockholm's old town, Gamla Stan.　The church's bell tower can be found from anywhere in the old town, and when you get a little lost, finding this bell tower will help you understand your location.

Under Kastanjen is a cafe and bar that I often go to when the weather is nice or when I go out for drinks with friends in the old town.　This café is my favorite place and I often spend a few hours there on my days off with my iPad, books, etc. in my bag.

Gamla Stan, the old town of Stockholm, is where anime creators got inspired when they created animated film called "Kiki's Delivery Service".　I like this cafe and come here whenever I have some free time.

I had some time to explore Gamla Stan on this day as well.　The weather was nice at this time and it was a very pleasant time to stroll around the old town.
