A street in Stockholm’s Gamla Stan. Photo by jimg944. By Marcus Cederstrom in Stockholm— Some cities in Europe are known for the various tourist scams that relieve you of your money or your wallet. Or both. Stockholm , for the most part, is a very safe city, but even the Swedish capital has a scam to watch out for. Wandering through Gamla Stan is a wonderful way to get to know the medieval history of Stockholm. The Old Town is one of the best preserved in all of Europe and has a beautiful array of churches, historic buildings, and museums. It is also a great place to pick up overpriced knickknacks and souvenirs. Despite my feelings towards those overpriced souvenirs, what goes on inside the stores is not any kind of scam. It is what goes on just outside of the stores that you need to watch out for. On VästerlÃ¥nggatan, the main tourist street in Gamla Stan, the street where you’ll find enough Swedish souvenirs to send you over the luggage limit, you’ll also find a classic street scam.
