Dare to time travel to an age when lords and ladies rode their horses through the narrow, cobbled streets; shopkeepers shouted out the daily deals from their doorways, and animals hopped from rooftop to rooftop. Entering the Old Town is like stepping back in time and having the city's history unfold around you.
The Old Town of Stockholm is the ideal place to start visiting this beautiful capital, especially if you want to get to know the Swedes and learn a bit about the city's long, fascinating history. If you're looking for a short and sweet introduction to the historical centre of Stockholm, this tour is the perfect walking tour for you.
You will begin at the exceptionally photogenic main square, Stortorget, in the heart of the Old Town (get your cameras ready!). At the Royal Palace, you will be given insight into how a gym owner and a reality tv-star became royalty. After a quick look at the statue of Saint George and the Dragon, followed by the narrowest alley in Stockholm and a walk between old noble palaces, you'll be an expert on Stockholm's Old Town.
You will end the walking tour of the Old Town on the island of Riddarholmen, known for stunning views of the lakeside of Stockholm and the oldest building in town, proudly watching over the island for centuries. Now your Stockholm Old Town Walk is complete - what a treat!
