Overview
Step into a winter postcard and discover the stories behind Sweden’s most beloved holiday traditions – while visiting some of the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Join a local guide for a festive, brisk Christmas walk through the centre of charming Old Town. As we stroll through candlelit alleys and snow-dusted squares, we’ll explore key historic sites like the Royal Palace, Storkyrkan Cathedral, Tyska Kyrkan and hidden medieval courtyards.
You'll hear about how Swedes have celebrated Christmas through the centuries: from Viking-era feasts and Saint Nicholas legends to the mischievous tomte and today's glowing windows and julbord feasts. We bring Sweden’s holiday spirit to life through tales of Lucia processions, the straw goat (julbocken), Christmas witches and why Swedes light so many candles in December.
The walk ends at the magical Stortorget Christmas Market, one of Europe’s oldest, where you’ll have time to explore warm glögg and handmade crafts on your own.
- 1h 15 min guided, brisk, not slow, walking tour through Old Town with several stops
- An genuine Old Town-guide company
- See historical sites in the center of the Old Town and hear about Swedish tradition
