Sigtuna is for historical reasons often still referred to as a stad.
Modern-day Sigtuna, a harbor town that was established around 980, developed approximately 4 kilometres east of Old Sigtuna (which according to Norse mythology, was previously the home of Odin).
Sigtuna has a medieval-style town centre with restaurants, cafes and small shops. The old church ruins, runic stones and the old main street (Stora gatan) are popular attractions for tourists especially in the summertime.

There are restaurants and Sigtuna Stadshotell, a hotel in the town centre." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.08.2021)
