Stockholm Old Town Walking Tour with Poster Gift
♡ Save


Gamla Stan’s royal secrets free tour, hidden alleys, and dramatic tales with a local guide. Take home a unique art poster created exclusively for our guests for a memorable Stockholm experience.
The walk is for curious visitors who want a fast-paced, engaging introduction to Gamla stan, the Old Town, with several stops and a professional local guide. Perfect if you’re here for the first time and want a balanced mix of landmarks, stories and everyday life.
With a local perspective, we explore iconic spots like the Royal Palace and Ironboy and talk about how a copy of the Silver throne ended up in Hollywood. You’ll see the narrowest alley, the oldest door, and hear about the local woman who becomes queen for just 87 days.
Along the way, you'll spot a 1700s insurance system, learn about the current royal family – and what it’s like to live here today. We also stop to taste something sweet.
We are local – Swedish, raised here, living and working in the Old Town. We know the streets, secrets, and even the neighbors.
