Immerse yourself in the story of Sweden’s transformation from a Nordic religion to Christianity! Book a 3-hour church tour of Stockholm. You will meet your Private Guide at a convenient meeting point near the Central Station and take a relaxing walk to the Old Town, passing by the neo-Gothic Church of St. Calara and the Lutheran Church of St. Jacob. You will also discover major tourist attractions such as the Royal Opera House, Parliament House and the Royal Palace along the way. The main highlight of this tour will be a visit inside Stockholm Cathedral, also known as Storkyrkan. Entrance tickets are included.
