Things to do Royal Palace: An Exterior Walking Tour in Old Town Stockholm

This is the perfect tour before – or instead of – visiting the Stockholm Palace. Calm and designed to help you understand how everything fits together. During this 1,5-hour guided walk, with a local tour guide, you explore the Royal Palace in Gamla stan from the outside, moving at an easy pace all the way around the building. From the exterior, we explain how Stockholm was founded, why royal power was established right here, and how the Palace still functions today. As we walk, we place the rooms and functions in context – showing how they relate to what you see on the façade. • The Palace’s four façades and what they symbolise: power, religion, nation, and monarchy • Architectural details, symbols, and hidden elements in the stonework • The story of the medieval castle Tre Kronor and the great fire of 1697 • Kings, queens, and how Sweden eventually ran out of kings and brought in a French general, creating the Bernadotte dynasty • The historic buildings surrounding the Palace When open, we also step into the Royal Chapel for added context. A thoughtful exterior walk that turns stone, symbols, and stories into a clear picture of Sweden’s royal history.
