HomeTake A Stroll Down The Old Town Road
Stockholm
1
Dare to time travel to an age when lords and ladies rode their horses through the narrow, cobbled streets, shopkeepers shouted out the daily deals from their doorways and animals hopped from rooftop to rooftop (well, only in the beginning perhaps!). Entering into the Old Town is like stepping back in time and having the city’s living history unfold around you.
DAY 01
Stockholm Old Town Walk (Small Group Tour)
Begin at the exceptionally photogenic main square, Stortorget, in the heart of the Old Town (trust us, get your cameras ready!).
Visit the Royal Palace, where the guide will give you insight into how a gym owner and a reality tv-star became real-life royalty.
Sample a piece of a traditional candy cane to experience the result of the Swedes’ innovation skills.
Take a quick look at th statue of Saint George and the Dragon.
Follow this by walking in the narrowest alley in Stockholm and between old noble palaces. You are now an expert of Stockholm's Old Town.
End the walking tour of the Old Town on the island of Riddarholmen (“The Island of Nobility”), known for stunning views of the lakeside of Stockholm and the oldest building in town, proudly watching over the island for centuries. Now your Stockholm Old Town Walk is complete – what a treat!
