Description
Meet your guide in Stortorget Square, the oldest in Stockholm, surrounded by colorful medieval houses. Hear the dramatic tale of the Stockholm Bloodbath and see the Nobel Prize Museum.
Stroll along cobbled alleys toward the Royal Palace, one of Europe’s grandest residences, passing courtyards and secret passages most visitors overlook. Discover hidden gems: tucked-away alleys, unique photo spots, and panoramic views from Gamla Stan to Södermalm island.
Feel the atmosphere of medieval Stockholm and hear stories of kings, queens, merchants, rebels, and everyday life in this enchanting city.
For those interested, the tour can also include a Jewish Heritage focus: visiting the Great Synagogue, the Jewish Museum, and exploring stories of migration, resilience, and community life in Stockholm. This adds a meaningful layer of culture and history often missing in standard tours.
Whether it’s your first time in Stockholm or you’ve been here before, this experience is designed to be personal, interactive, and tailored – blending history, legends, humor, and insider tips. You’ll leave not only with unforgettable memories but also with recommendations for the best local cafés, viewpoints, and hidden corners to explore on your own.
