Description

Embark on a tour that is designed chronologically so you can experience history just like the city did. Start from the Viking Era, the German influence in the country and the Danish clash which led to the most important Swedish event: the Stockholm bloodbath in 1520 followed by the succession of Gustav Vasa. Meet at Gustav Adolfs Torg in the center of the city and commence your walking tour. Explore the picturesque, narrow, and colorful streets of the Old Town, including the narrowest street of Stockholm, Mårten Trotzigs gränd. Walk along some of the most emblematic places in the island, such as the Stockholm Royal Palace, the statue of St. George, the Dragon, and the famous main square, Stortorget. Learn from your dynamic, history-enthusiast guides, each hailing from diverse backgrounds. These knowledgeable guides are eager to lead you through the intriguing tales of this island, providing insights not only from its past but the contemporary Swedish way of life.
