Walking Tour of Stockholm's Old Town

guided tour of Gamla Stan

Join us for a guided walk through the myriad alleys of Gamla Stan, the historical centre of Stockholm, while finding out more about everything from the Viking myths to anecdotes about Kings, Queens and the everyday life of the city dwellers.

Over the centuries, Stockholm has developed upon mainland and on 14 different islands. Everything began though at two small islands located in between the shores of the Baltic Sea and lake Mälaren. The island of Stadsholmen, where the district of Gamla Stan is located, and Riddarholmen. Since located along a trade route that stretched along the waters of Lake Mälaren to the mouth of the Baltic Sea these islands were turned into a strategical centre for trading as well as political and religious power. 

Nowadays the banks of The Baltic Sea and lake Mälaren are framing Europe’s most well-preserved medieval quarter, still showing traces of what Stockholm, and Sweden, used to look like back in ancient times. With its narrow cobbled alleys and colorful stone houses this is the perfect place for those who wish to experience a moment of escapism while travelling back in time.

But Gamla Stan is also a particularly lively island, with a fairytale like atmosphere which hints of perfume as a reminicense of centuries passed by. With its small craft shops, typical bars and cafes, Gamla Stan is a must-see during a stay in Stockholm. A district of undoubted historical, artistic and architectural importance not to be missed!
