Full description
• Examples of questions you will get answered:
Where is the oldest building? Where is the most narrow alley?
Do people still today live in Gamla Stan? What was life like? Who lived here?
Was Gamla Stan a German colony, in times of the Hanseatic league?
What really happened during the Stockholm Blood Bath?
Did Vikings live in Stockholm?
Where did the Executioner live? The Hell Street? The Ghetto?
Why did a French officer become Swedish King in the early 1800's?
And most importantly: Is there still rivalry with Denmark (our eternal enemy historically)?
Your local guide tells you facts and stories about the Old Town's past & present and by showing you historic pictures at every stop, the stories come more to life. At our last stop we enjoy a mini "Fika" (Swedish sweet snack).
After the tour, you will receive a WhatsApp message to the telephone number in your booking with your guide's hidden gems/local recommendations around town ( restaurants/”fika”, viewpoints, archipelago islands, budget friendly options) - don't miss it!
