Old Town - From Kings to Vikings

What to Expect

Gamla Stan: Stories of Old Stockholm
Our journey will begin with the cobbled squares and alleys of the Old Town, where Stockholm was born many centuries ago. Here you will be greeted by the Royal Palace, a tiny statue of a boy gazing at the moon, and the narrowest street in the city, ancient runic stones, and sagas of Vikings. In the nooks of Gamla Stan, countless legends of the first Swedish Cinderella, tales of kings and tyrants reside, and every cobblestone breathes history! We will not dwell on the dates and names of Swedish chronicles, only revealing its brightest pages, with former monasteries, medieval defensive structures, and gingerbread houses of merchants serving as illustrations to the stories that adorn all Stockholm postcards.

The City Through a Local's Eyes
Even within the walls frequented by tourists of the Old Town, we will discover places unknown to ordinary travelers. You will explore the colorful alleys of Gamla Stan, walk through the Knight's Island where legends of knights and monks come alive, pass under the oldest building in Stockholm, and learn about the connection between the city's founder and Alexander Nevsky. We will also talk about the modern life of the Swedish capital: its coziest and most delicious establishments, peculiarities of daily life, and Scandinavian mentality. An unexpected bonus will be the panoramic view of all Stockholm - the most breathtaking and photogenic perspective of the city!
