Overview
Join us on a tour of Södermalm, the village in the big city.
Enjoy the magnificent view over Stockholm and see the contrasts between the different parts of the city. Let's roam the streets and alleys of Södermalm, traveling from the 18th century to the present day. Experience how close a village-like idyll and modern big city bustle lie side by side.
Observe the population, sometimes as they hurry through the city, sometimes as they take a break in a park or a café.
Södermalm used to be a poor area, today it is a desirable location. Historical meets hip. And what should not be missing on a tour of Södermalm: Scenes from Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy.
