Description

Exploring Stockholm's magical Old Town via an easy going English-language walking tour in a small group with an Official Stockholm City guide. We will wind our way through the cobble stone streets, narrow alleyways and medieval architecture while sharing stories of the city's origins and colorful, sometimes bloody, history. We will start at one of the Gateways to the Old Town and touch briefly on aspects of modern-day Sweden before delving into the heart of Old Town. Stops along the way include the main square, one of the oldest streets in Old Town, a Rune stone, the historic German church, a brief visit to the busy tourist street, a stop by the narrowest street in the city. Visit the former marketplace and financial square, a famous restaurant with a rich history, then a stroll down one of the more unique shopping streets before returning to history at the St. George and the Dragon statue. A famous painting will illustrate the city's medieval birth before we greet the smallest statue in town! Then to the Royal Palace to delve into Sweden's rich royal history of Kings and Queen's.
