Overview
Immerse yourself in Stockholm’s Old Town and discover 700 years of history, scandals, and survival. This 2.5-hour guided walking tour takes you to the most iconic sites in Gamla Stan—the Royal Palace, Riddarhuset, Stortorget, and the Parliament.
We’ll begin our tour in the center of Riddarholmen Island, next to the statue of Birger Jarl, and then delve into stories and hidden corners that most visitors don’t know about: a bloody royal battle, a mysteriously narrow alley, Viking-era runes hidden in a city wall, and the unlikely rise of a French soldier to the Swedish throne.
During the tour, your guide will offer you a broader perspective on Stockholm as it is today: its unique neighborhoods, its culture and contrasts, the way of life of its residents, and the small details that make this city a one-of-a-kind place in the world.
Everything comes to life thanks to our team, who, with humor, warmth, and energy, turn every tour into a story worth telling. We’ll end the tour at Kornhamnstorg Square, right in the heart of Gamla Stan’s bohemian district, famous for its bars and outdoor cafes.
