A hollowed-out log stuffed with Viking gold drifted 45 km and wherever it landed, a city would be born. That origin story kicks off this app-based, self-guided walking tour of Stockholm as you wind through Gamla Stan and beyond.
You'll squeeze through an alley barely wider than your shoulders, learn how a shop girl became Hollywood's highest-paid star, and stand where a six-day bank siege gave the world the term "Stockholm Syndrome." The tour traces Viking rune stones, a tavern where Nobel Literature judges still dine on Thursdays, and a royal palace haunted by a ghost the queen herself confirmed.
This Stockholm audio tour lets you start anytime, pause for fika at Sweden's oldest café, and resume whenever you're ready — no group, no schedule, full offline access. Over 20,000 travelers have explored with our self-guided tours, and a full refund guarantee means zero risk. If you'd rather discover Stockholm at your own pace with real stories instead of a megaphone, this is the one to book
