Free Tour Stockholm: Old Town
♡ Save
On our Free Stockholm’s Landmark Tour – Old City you will travel through its 800-hundred-year-old history from a small Viking settlement to the actual “Venice of the Baltics,” a modern paradise full of culture, nature and sustainability.
Join us on our Old Town Tour to enjoy the beautiful island of Gamlastan and understand why the Vikings chose this island to create their next capital. Our tour is designed chronologically, so you can experience history just like the city did. We will start from the Viking Era, the German influence in the country, and the Danish class, which led to the most important Swedish event: the Stockholm bloodbath in 1520, followed by the succession of Gustav Vasa.
Your guide will take you on a beautiful walk, describing an overview of Swedish history and essential general information, offering you not only a deep dive into the city’s history but also some insights into today’s life in the country.
