Our fabulously knowledgeable guide took us through the cobblestone streets of old town. tips 1. ask questions, 2. check the weather that morning 3. good shoes (cobblestones are brutal if you are not prepared) 4. public bathrooms are not along the route so keep a 10kr coin to use the one at the palace gift shop if you need a break, just inform your guide.

Joel was an excellent guide. He made us laugh with his jokes and had extensive knowledge about the city. It was a pleasure braving and exploring the city on a snowy day. We had a blast.
