Walking tour Gamla Stan Discover the heart of Stockholm with us

Overview

Stockholm hides its secrets among stone and mist—and we know exactly where to find them. Its medieval alleyways and cobblestone squares have witnessed royal massacres, conspiracies, and historical twists that seem straight out of a novel. This tour takes you straight to the heart of it all. For 2.5 hours, you'll explore Gamla Stan like you never would on your own. You'll start by the statue of Birger Jarl, the man who founded this city in the 13th century, and from there, you'll be constantly discovering. Viking runes hidden in a wall that thousands of tourists pass by without noticing. The square where one of the most brutal massacres in Scandinavian history took place, and the incredible story of how a simple French soldier ended up founding the royal dynasty that rules Sweden to this day. The tour ends in Kornhamnstorg, the bohemian area of Gamla Stan famous for its bars and terraces. There, we'll give you recommendations and tips for your trip if you need them.
