Power AND glory

GAMLA STAN + ROYAL PALACE

Wealth, poverty, splendor and decay: the story of an island that became a nation

Gamla Stan is the location where Stockholm’s history was founded as far back as the 1200’s. Located adjacent to the Baltic Sea and the sweat water lake Mälaren it came to be a meeting place for seafarers, burghers, monks and craftsmen.

But Gamla Stan was not just a place dedicated to the citizens of Stockholm. With the establishment of a city palace, strategically located in close proximity to the city residents, Gamla Stan came to be the centre of political power. 

The guided tour of “Power and Glory” is a combination tour that starts with a walk through the narrow alleys of Gamla Stan and ends with a guided tour of the apartments at the Royal Palace. 

During the guided walk through Gamla Stan we’ll pass iconic buildings and places such as Stortorget with its colourful buildings, the Nobel Prize Museum and the Grand Cathedral. Together we will also reveal secrets, symbols and curiosities hidden from the naked eye.

While at the Royal Palace we will walk through the richly ornate Royal Apartments and be mesmerised by the shifts between different architectural styles, illustrating the Swedish Royal dynasties gone by. And above all, trace the events of the most influential Swedish sovereigns of the recent past.
