Join our tour of Gamla Stan and relive 700 years of secrets, history and hidden scandals. Explore the heart of Stockholm's Old Town with an expert guide who will bring the past to life.
Immerse yourself in Stockholm's Old Town and discover 700 years of history, scandal and survival. This 2.5-hour guided walking tour takes you through Gamla Stan's most iconic landmarks - 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 nooks and crannies that most visitors don't know about: a bloody royal battle, a mysteriously narrow alley, Viking-era runes hidden in a wall, and the unlikely rise of a French soldier to the Swedish throne.
During the tour, your guide will give you a broader view of Stockholm as it is today: its unique neighborhoods, its culture and contrasts, the way of life of its inhabitants and the little details that make this city unique in the world.
Everything comes to life thanks to our team who, with humor, warmth and energy, turn each tour into a story worth telling. We will end the tour at Kornhamnstorg square, in the heart of the bohemian area of Gamla Stan, famous for its bars and terraces.
