Fisketorget (Swedish: "Fishery Square") or Fiskaretorget ("Fishermen's Square") is a historical public square in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. It was once located on the east shore of the island Stadsholmen, between the present streets Österlånggatan and Skeppsbron, and between the present alleys Nygränd ("New Alley") and Brunnsgränd ("Well's Alley"). As Stockholm grew rapidly during the 14th century, the city within the city walls became cramped for space, and the surrounding shores started to be built upon and subsequently by land fillings between the bridges extended into the water. Thus, elongated blocks appeared between narrow alleys along the eastern shore of the city, with the exception of the area outside the only eastern city gate — the so-called Köpmanporten ("Merchant's Gate") which extended Köpmangatan ("Merchant's Street) from the city's central square, Stortorget ("Large Square"), beyond the city wall over Köpmanbrinken. Originally, the marketplace was called Fiskestrand ("Fishery Shore") and also encompassed a section of the shoreline stretching north up to the present alley Skeppar Karls Gränd.From 1413, the square was probably flanked by two defensive towers, some major building featuring stepped gables, and several one-storey buildings. In 1461, a blacksmith named Henrik is mentioned as having forged on a water well on the square, at the time the biggest in Stockholm. The well eventually gave the southern alley its name and was still found in the alley until the 19th century. The square was, however, was started to be built upon during the early 1520s, which eventually led to the present block on the location, Diana, which still contains the well.

Kråkgränd (Swedish: "Crow Alley") is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. Stretching between Skeppsbron and Österlånggatan, it forms a parallel street to Bredgränd and Nygränd. The alley is named after Knut Nilsson Kråka, who in 1608 was promoted to become one of the 48 Elders of the city and in 1615 became a magistrate. He failed to deliver taxes required however and was subsequently relieved of his duties in 1623 and died as a custom officer by the southern gate in 1625.

Fem små hus (Swedish for "five small houses") is a classic restaurant in Gamla stan in central Stockholm, Sweden, located in the Python block in the corner of Nygränd 10 and Österlånggatan 15. The restaurant serves traditional Swedish cuisine with a French influence. In winter the restaurant is only open on evenings but in summer it also serves lunch.The earliest evidence of a restaurant located at the site is from 1694. As there has since then continuously been a restaurant at Nygränd 10, Fem små hus can be seen as the oldest still operating restaurant in Sweden and the third oldest in the entire world.

Nygränd (Swedish: New Alley) is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm, Sweden, connecting Skeppsbron to Österlånggatan. Old names Niia grenden (1553), Nygrenden (1570)Until the early 1520s, a fish market (Fisketorget, "The Fisherman's Square") was located between the site of the present alley and the alley south of it, Brunnsgränd, the square at the time forming a natural continuation to Köpmangatan ("The Merchant's Street"), the street leading east from the central square Stortorget.One of the old town's most elaborate portals is found on 2, Nygränd. Parallel streets Kråkgränd, Brunnsgränd Crossing streets Skeppsbron, Österlånggatan

Köpmanbrinken (Swedish: "Merchant's Slope") is a street composed of two slopes, in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. Both slopes connect the street Österlånggatan west up to the small Köpmantorget and the street Köpmangatan. Since the foundation of the city the slopes reflects the original inclination treadled by the city's first inhabitants.The northern slope was referred to as Fiskestrandsbrinken ("Fishing Shore Slope") during the Middle Ages, because the area east of the slopes, between the alleys Nygränd and Brunnsgränd, used to be the city's main fish market Fiskaretorget until 1520. The statue of St George and his princess is replica made in 1912 of the medieval original in the cathedral Storkyrkan.On the narrow space along the slopes' eastern sides, where the statue of Saint George and the Dragon is found today, there was an entire block called Acteon which was demolished following a collapse in 1829. The slopes were made less steep following the collapse. During the 19th century, the slopes were regarded as two individual streets, separated by the square Köpmantorget. The two streets were subsequently united as a single street with its present name in 1885.

Brunnsgränd (Swedish: "Well Alley") is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. Connecting Skeppsbron to Österlånggatan, it forms a parallel street to Nygränd and Skottgränd. It is the widest alley in the old town.The alley, mentioned as brundzgrenden in 1526, is named after a water well mentioned in 1461, when a blacksmith named Henrik was paid for having "forged on the well on 'Fisherman's Square'" (smidat till brunnen på Fiskaretorget). Historically, wells in cities were located in open spaces, and, oddly enough, neither a well or a square can be found near the present alley. During the Middle Ages and until the 1520s, however, a square called Fisketorget was found between Brunnsgränd and the alley north of it, Nygränd ("New Alley"), at the time the biggest in Stockholm connected to the central square Stortorget ("The Big Square") through Köpmangatan ("The Merchant's Street"). In the early 19th century, the well could still be found in the western end of the alley, but it has since been surrounded by buildings. Occasionally, the alley's name is erroneously associated with a fountain from 1912, located on Österlånggatan, under the statue of Saint George and the Dragon.

Skottgränd (Swedish: "Scotch Alley") is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm Sweden, stretching from Skeppsbron to Österlånggatan. Old names Skottegrändenn (1597), østan till Skåttegrändhenn (1606)Apparently the name came into use by the end of the 16th century. It reflects the immigration of Scots, Englishmen and Dutch people who settled in the alley and were, arguably, collectively referred to as 'Scots'. Possibly, the name might refer to the name of an individual, even though the records do not give any details about it. Parallel streets Brunnsgränd, Stora Hoparegränd Crossing streets Skeppsbron, Österlånggatan
