Description

Sweden has a long-standing tradition of supporting the spiritual needs of its citizens. There are over 30 churches and chapels in the city of Stockholm alone! On this private tour you'll discover the most important places of worship in the historic Gamla Stan and visit the Stockholm Cathedral. 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. Inside, you will discover beautiful sacred art from the Middle Ages, such as the famous sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon, and hear stories about the royal coronations, weddings and burials. Last but not least, you will see the German Church of St. Gertrude, which is known for its stunning architecture and Baroque interior. Book an extended 4-hour tour to enhance your experience with a visit to Riddarholmen Church (Riddarholmskyrkan) with skip-the-line tickets. The church of the former medieval Greyfriars Monastery is one of the oldest buildings in Stockholm and serves as the final resting place of most Swedish monarchs and the knights of the Royal Order of the Seraphim. It’s a must-see as a place of historical and cultural significance!
