Overview
Exploring Stockholm's magical Old Town via an easy going English language tour in a small group. We will wind our way through the cobble stone streets, narrow alleyways and medieval architecture while sharing stories of the city's origins and colorful, sometimes bloody, history.
We will start at one of the Gateways to the Old Town and touch briefly on aspects of modern day Sweden before delving into the heart of Old Town. Stops along the way include the main square, one of the oldest streets, a Rune stone, the historic German church, a brief visit onto a busy tourist street, then a stop by the narrowest alley.
Next is the former marketplace and financial square, St. George & the Dragon statue, with a stop by the smallest statue, The Iron Boy, then to the Royal Palace, an area rich with statues and history. English language Tour is lead by a native English speaker with local knowledge. Tour will end in the Old Town so you can further explore or head to local restaurants or shopping.
