I took a photo walk through Stockholm in June 2021. I started at the Central Station and walked towards Sergels Torg and then onwards to Kungsträdgården and Riddarholmen, where you can get beautiful views of the Old Town. Then I continued through the outskirts of Old Town towards Kungsholmen, St Eriksplan, and finally ending my walk at Odenplan.

Sergels Torg, near the Central Station. It's one of the major squares of the city and formerly the spot where large celebrations took place. Now it's a little bit rundown and a spot for demonstrations instead.
Kungsträdgården (King's Garden) is another large square where people often come to relax and which is the new spot for where large celebrations usually take place.
Kungsträdgården and Sankt Jacobs Kyrka (Saint James's Church).
The Royal Palace of Stockholm. To get the best views of it you should go to the opposite side of the water. Go to Strömkajen or Skeppsholmen.
The 19th-century ship "af Chapman" has been moored on Riddarholmen since 1947 and today serves as a youth hostel.
Skyline of Old Town, viewed from Riddarholmen.
Slussen is a major meeting point and transport hub, but for the past few years, it's been a chaotic building site. This will continue for a few more years, but after that, it will likely become one of the most scenic areas of the city.
The Swedish Parliament Building (Riksdagshuset).
Västerlånggatan in Old Town. This street is usually packed with tourists, but during the Corona Pandemic, the area has been very quiet as few locals visit it in their day-to-day routine.
Birger Jarls Torg (Birger Jarl Square) on Riddarholmen, near Old Town. Birger Jarl was the founder of Stockholm in the 13th century.
Kungsholmen, with typical architecture for the area.
