Overview

A self-guided audio walking tour through Stockholm, based on the story of the disastrous Vasa shipwreck. Join Agnes, who was on board the Vasa ship when it sank on its maiden voyage in 1628. Ten years later, she still can’t shake the feeling that something else was lost in the water as well that day. There seem to be answers hidden away in a locked box her mother keeps in the attic, so Agnes decides to steal the box and head out on the streets of Stockholm in an attempt to trace down the secrets of the Vasa ship. Join her in 17:th century Stockholm through sound, game elements and classic storytelling. This audio walking tour is self-guided via a GPS-based app downloaded to your phone. When you buy the tour you'll receive an email with instructions on how to download the app which serves as your guide, game and narrator. Listen to the story while you walk, and help Agnes solve tasks in each location. You can start, pause and end the tour when you want.

Itinerary

Stockholm Old Town

You will walk through Stockholm's Old Town during the first half of the tour. Old Town is the original city of Stockholm, established in the 1200's. Many of the buildings here are preserved from medieval times. Agnes shares the story about the commerce that used to take place at Järntorget (Iron square) and tells the story about how her family were involved with building the Vasa ship.

45 minutes
N/A

Agnes takes you down to the waterfront and starts asking around among the harbour workers for anyone who was there and witnessed the Vasa ship sinking. A rowing lady comes to your aid, and offers a boat ride, while she tells you about the terrible events of that day.

10 minutes
Royal Palace

You'll make a stop below the Royal Palace, roughly in the same location as where the Vasa ship was docked before its disastrous maiden journey. The ship was docked here to be stocked with cannons and other supplies.

10 minutes
Kungstradgarden

Make a stop by the entrance of Kungsträdgården park, to hear the story of a palace that was once in this location.

5 minutes
Skeppsholmen

You'll walk across Skeppsholmen, where you'll stop at a lookout point where you can observe the first part of the route that the Vasa ship sailed before it sank. Skeppsholmen translates to "Ship island", and there used to be shipyards here. Today you can find several of Stockholm's museums here. Agnes runs into someone who claims that he knows her - but mybe he is confusing her with someone else?

10 minutes
Skeppsholmen

The tour ends by the Skeppsholmen ferry dock. From here, the Vasa museum is just a five minute ferry ride away across the water. Agnes finally meets the person she has been looking for all along. Maybe this story will end happily after all?
