Description
Step into the past and explore Stockholm’s legends and landmarks on this captivating city walk. We begin in the historic heart of the city, where grand squares, medieval alleys, and iconic buildings reveal stories of kings, merchants, and revolutionaries.
Our journey starts at the magnificent Stockholm City Hall (interior), one of Sweden’s most famous landmarks. Admire its stunning architecture, learn about the Nobel Prize banquet, and hear fascinating stories of its construction and symbolism.
From there, we head to Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, where we explore its medieval charm. Stand in Stortorget, the city’s oldest square, and uncover dramatic events like the Stockholm Bloodbath.
