Overview

The two "must see" attractions in Stockholm are the Old Town (Gamla Stan) and the Vasa museum. Few tourists leave Stockholm without visiting these two attractions! This tour, which starts at Gamla Stan metro station, combine these two major attractions! During the walk, we will tell you the story of Stockholm and Sweden. This includes the time when Sweden was one of the greatest powers in Europe and the Vasa ship was built. We will start our walk at Riddarholmen with a beautiful view of the lake Mälaren and the City Hall. We will pass the House of Nobility, the Parliament building, the Royal Palace and Stortorget in Old Town. Then we will take the ferry "Djurgårdsfärjan", a 10 minute trip to Djurgården, where the Vasa Museum is situated. In the museum, we will tell you the astonishing story about how one of the world's most modern warship capsized after only 1300 meters of sailing! After the trip, you can continue with some of the other museums or activities on Djurgården!

Meeting points

Go downstairs, into the Gamla Stan metro station, underground. The guide will meet you in front of the "Pressbyrån" convenience store. (In Sweden, a tip of about 10% is common in restaurants and also for guided tours. However, you should ONLY tip if you are satisfied with the tour and the service.)

Itinerary

  • N/A

    We start the tour at Gamla Stan Metro station, inside/under ground, in front of the Pressbyrån kiosk. We talk about the early history of Stockholm and Sweden, from the ice age until the first settlements on the islands. From Riddarholmen (The Knights Island) we have a beautiful view of the lake Mälaren and the City Hall, the famous landmark of Stockholm,

    15 minutes

  • Riddarholmen

    The story continues... Outside the Riddarholmen Church we will meet the presumed founder of Stockholm, Birger Jarl, or at least a statue of him. 1252 is the year when "Stockholm" was first mentioned in a written text that is preserved until today. Birger Jarl signed the paper...

    5 minutes

  • Riddarhuset

    We stop outside Riddarhuset, the House of Nobility, and look at the statue of Gustav Vasa, "the father of Sweden". Since Gustav Vasa 1523 marched into Stockholm, Sweden has been a sovereign state, never occupied by foreign powers. Gustav, after his father and between 80 to 100 other noblemen were killed in “The bloodbath of Stockholm”, organised an uprising against our southern neighbour who had taken control over Sweden. He also changed the religion in Sweden from Catholicism to Lutheran Protestantism

    10 minutes

  • Royal Palace

    Next stop at the Royal Palace . We will enter the outer courtyard and see the guards, often dressed in elegant uniforms from past days. We will also visit "Slottsbacken" with a beautiful view of the inner harbour of Stockholm.

    10 minutes

  • Jarnpojken

    The smallest and nicest statue in Sweden!

    5 minutes

  • Stortorget

    The Nobel Price Museum is situated at Stortorget. The Swedish Royal Academies designate the winners of the most prestigious prices in many important fields of science and art.

    10 minutes

  • Stockholm Old Town

    Below the statue of Carl XIV Johan we continue the story about Sweden. This king, the first of the Bernadottes, was imported to Sweden from France in the beginning of the 19th century to win back what we lost to the Russians. Instead he put his efforts into diplomacy, building infrastructure and develop education! In 2014 200 years of peace was celebrated in Sweden. The industrial revolution, natural resources and great Swedish inventions created a foundation for a welfare state, and several entrepreneurs continued the development in the 20th and 21th centuries. !

    20 minutes

  • N/A

    From Skeppsbron we will take the ferry "Djurgårdsfärjan" to Djurgården. Time for some rest :) (This is a walking tour; in the Old Town we walk about 1 mile, and, after the boat trip, another 0.5 miles to the Vasa Museum. So, in total, about 1.5 miles (about 2.4 km) But we walk at a slow pace, and we stop at different sites, take photos, etc., and we are open to adjustments of pace.)

    10 minutes

  • Vasa Museum

    Entrance to the Vasa museum is included. Our guide will show you the ship and tell you the amazing story about how Vasa capsized and then was salvaged more than 300 years later! This is the end of the guided tour, but you are welcome to stay in the museum after the tour is finished. (If you have time, why not stay on the Djurgården island also in the afternoon, visit the Abba Museum ("walk in, dance out" ), the Viking Museum, the amusement park Gröna Lund, or Skansen. All of these attractions are situated on the beautiful island Djurgården (but not included in this tour)).

Stockholm sites with Bengt

Published on Sep, 2024

We enjoyed the Stockholm walking tour with Bengt. He is knowledgeable, informative and has a fun, dry sense of humor. He had some laminated visual aids that were entertaining and informative. We appreciated the extra information he gave us at the end to continue to enjoy the sites and dining in Stockholm.

Directions of where to...

Published on Jul, 2024

Directions of where to meet were confusing and the phone number didn't work. When we asked for directions we were yoltoeet at the Yrain Station, turns out it was the Tram station. Not the same thing and took us far out of our way on a hot day.
