The Old Town is full of different attractions. There are many various shops, galleries, exhibitions and museums. Nobel Museum has become popular among tourists, it is dedicated to Alfred Nobel (the founder of the Nobel Prize) and to the winner of this award. The museum has over 800 images of the winners and their works, and there you can see documentaries about them. In the Old Town its still possible to visit the church of St. Nicholas, german church, finnish church, the alley of Marten Trotzig and the monument “Boy, that looks at the moon”. By the way, the alley of Marten Trotzig is the narrowest street in Stockholm and its width is just 90 centimeters. The smallest Sweden monument outdoors is the monument “Boy, that looks at the moon” or “Iron Boy”, but the swedes affectionately call it Ulle (Olle). Ulle looks very abstract, it’s the silhouette is a young boy, who embraced his knees, sitting on the bed and looking upward. Despite its small size the monument is very famous among residents and tourists. Ulle charms its guests and awakens in them the warmest feelings.
