Central Sigtuna

The old town: the wooden houses along Stora gatan, the harbour and the blocks around the square.

This is where the tourists come, and a surprising number of people live here. The 18th and 19th-century wooden houses along Stora gatan, Prästgatan and the lanes down to the water hold flats and some whole houses. Behind the facades there are co-op flats in low rows, rentals from SigtunaHem and the odd villa up at Klockbacken.

Living here is living on a stage. Summer weekends and the Christmas market mean people outside the window. In return you have the harbour, the shops, the museum, the swimming pool and the bus within minutes, and from November to March the town is yours.

The houses are heritage-protected to varying degrees. Renovating requires permits and patience, and it shows in the prices: the square-metre price in the old town is well above the rest of the municipality.

The best of it

  • Everything on foot
  • The water and the harbour
  • Every event of the year outside the door

Bear in mind: Expect tourists, scarce parking and conservation rules.
