Drottninggatan, or the "Queen's Street," is Stockholm's most important pedestrian street. It begins not far from the Gamla Stan district (Old Town) and stretches for 1.5 km.
At the very beginning of Drottninggatan, on the corner of Strömgatan Street, you can see the beggar fox — this is how British sculptor Laura Ford decided to draw the attention of passersby to the problem of homeless animals suffering because of our actions.
The city's main pedestrian street is crowned by a park with an observatory that has been granted the status of a historical museum.
In addition, the oldest city pharmacy called "Sova" is located on Drottninggatan. It is said that its address has not changed since 1798, and "Sova" itself was opened back in 1761.
Along the asphalt for the entire length of the street runs a long inscription — quotes from the works of the classic writer Johan August Strindberg, the founder of Swedish theater and literature. He lived on Drottninggatan, in house number 85, where the writer's museum is located today.
