Discover the foundations of Stockholm in the Old Town, then walk toward the future (compared to the Middle Ages, that is) to Norrmalm, characterized as the modern district of Stockholm's city centre and top it all off with a refreshing drink at the Ice Bar!
You'll start the tour where it all began: Stockholm's Old Town. In the main square, Stortorget, lies the Nobel Museum, while around the corner hides the Royal Palace (well, it doesn't really hide, does it?) and Stockholm Cathedral. Fast-forwarding to the future brings you to the early 1900s as you gaze up at the country's powerhouse, the Parliament. Skipping over the rest of the oldest stone bridge in Stockholm, you'll find yourself at Nybroviken with a fantastic view of the Vasa Museum and Gröna Lund amusement park. Continuing along, you'll walk further through Norrmalm, where you'll talk about a term in psychology that was coined by a bank robbery that took place by the square Norrmalmstorg, see the most exclusive department store in the city, and visit Hötorget ("The Haymarket"), home to the Stockholm Concert Hall.
Having worked up a thirst, you'll head indoors into the Ice Bar. Prepare for a "cool" experience. It's -7°C (19°F) inside the Ice Bar, perfect to keep your drink cold as you sip it out of a glass sculpted from ice. Before stepping inside the Ice Bar, you'll be given warm ponchos and gloves, since it's only the bar and drinks that need to be frozen. You're in for a real treat - skål (cheers)!
