Itinerary

Meet your guide in the central Normalmstorg town square to begin your private walking tour of Stockholm. Be sure to let them know if you have any particular interests or destinations in mind, as this private tour can be customized to accommodate your preferences.

Learn how Normalmstorg became associated with the term "Stockholm Syndrome" after a robbery and hostage situation occurred here in the early 1970s. Continue your walk past highlights like the Parliament building, the Royal Palace, and City Hall.

Next, learn about the medieval past of Gamla Stan, Stockholm's Old Town, and the history of the Viking people. Walk to Stockholm Cathedral to see the exterior statue of St. George and the Dragon.

Then, dive into the Södermalm and Slussen districts to discover the city's alternative side. Stop for a traditional fika, or a coffee and a sweet snack. Take the opportunity to ask your guide any remaining questions you have about Stockholm's long and storied history.

After several hours, finish your tour in the heart of Södermalm, after which you're free to continue exploring on your own.

Wonderful history!

Jacquelyn_K, Aug 2023

Katrin was an incredible guide. She told us fascinating stories about the history of Stockholm. We covered a perfect amount of the city so we had areas we could explore further or we could check the box that we saw it. She gave great recommendations about what to do and what to see. We had an incredible time in Stockholm and believe starting our trip with this tour really helped.

Great tour guide for an informative walking tour

Thomas_K, Jun 2022

We had a great tour guide who over the course of three hours gave us a ton of interesting information on virtually all the sites in Stockholm. Although we didn’t go into any of the sites that day it is a good way to spend an early day of a trip to get an overview and figure out what is worth exploring more closely.

Excellent guided tour to many...

Steen Erik J, Aug 2013

Excellent guided tour to many historical places, specially interesting for us as Danes. The only unpleasant thing was that the tour ended miles away from the starting point, and we had a long and tiring walk back.
