Located in the Northeastern part of the city, the Muslim quarter will strike you as it is a lot busier than the adjacent Jewish one. Men smoke nargile inside the cafés while children play in the streets. The roads are lined with stands, and vendors loudly present their products. In the northern part, you will find the beautiful Damascus Gate. Built by Suleiman the Magnificent, it has triangular spires at the top, which gives it a resemblance to a crown.

Museo Jumex is a contemporary art museum that displays a private art collection owned by the sole heir to the Jumex fruit juice fortune. The exhibitions include works by big names like Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Marcel Duchamp, Andreas Gursky and Olafur Eliasson. Apart from the art on display, enjoy the beautiful building, a nice cafe and a view of the Soumaya building from the upper floor balcony.

Constructed around the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in the north-western part of the Old City, the area is home to several Christian sights. Few houses can be found here — it's mostly about religious buildings, educational facilities, and a plethora of cafés, restaurants, and shops. The streets are packed with vendors. It is especially worth exploring the area of Mauristan, teeming with shops and colourful stalls. Used as a market during the Roman Empire, the area hosted churches and hospices during the Crusades (in Persian, "Mauristan" means hospital).

The three small houses in Sevedstorp were the inspiration for Astrid Lindgren's books about the Bullerby Children. In the summertime, the village comes to life, with different animals, and fun activities. In one of the barns, you'll find Café Sörgården where waffles, Swedish cheesecake, and other goodies are served.
