Welcome to Stockholm and to GAMLA STAN - where the medieval Stockholm meets the modern capital. Local experience requires a local guide! Meet Sophie: a born ”Stockholmer” with many years experience as a guide.

This Old Town Walking Tour is a historic tour experience, where you learn new facts about our Old Town, Stockholm and Sweden + a touch on mutual Nordic history. Sophie tells you facts and stories about the Old Town's past & present. By showing you historic pictures at the different stops, the stories come more to life.

Examples of questions you will get answered

Where is the oldest building? Narrowest alley?
Do people still live in Gamla Stan? Who used to live here?
Why did so many German merchants come to Stockholm?

After the tour, you can take a photo of your guide's list of some hidden gems/local recommendations (restaurants, bakeries, budget options) - don't miss it!
