Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: The Royal Palace, Kungliga slottet, 107 70 Stockholm, Sweden
At the Royal Castle, the guide will not only explain the building itself to you, but you will also learn everything you need to know about the royal family. We also look at the surroundings of the castle and you will also receive introductory information about the old town.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Skeppsbron, 111 30 Stockholm, Sweden
See the stately homes built by merchants from the 17th century who had both their residence and offices here.
Duration: 3 minutes
Stop At: St George and the Dragon Statue, Köpmantorget, 111 31 Stockholm, Sweden
Here we stop at an allegorical sculpture depicting Saint George slaying the dragon. Starting from the background story of the sculpture, Sweden's turbulent, often warlike, past can be well illuminated. We talk about Sweden's great power era and who Sweden's opponents were.
Duration: 6 minutes
Stop At: Stortorget, 111 29 Stockholm, Sweden
The central square in the heart of the old town with colorful buildings mostly from the 17th century. The Stockholm bloodbath took place here more than 500 years ago. The former stock exchange building, which now houses the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Prize Museum, is also on the square.
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Storkyrkan, 1 Trangsund Gamla Stan, Stockholm 111 29 Sweden
We pass Storkyrkan (the Great Church), Stockholm's cathedral church, which is now used for royal weddings, among other things.
Duration: 2 minutes
Stop At: Prästgatan, Stockholm, Sweden
This is where Prästgatan ends as a dark cul-de-sac. For centuries this corner had a bad reputation, probably not least because the executioner lived here.
Duration: 4 minutes
Stop At: Riddarhustorget, Stockholm, Sweden
When we stop at Riddarhustorget we can see the nearby island of Riddarholmen. There we see former noble palaces and Riddarholmskyrkan, Stockholm's oldest surviving building above ground.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Vasterlanggatan, Stockholm 11129 Sweden
Here the guide will show you a building where the changes that have taken place over the centuries are clearly visible. In addition to medieval elements, you will see traces from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Duration: 3 minutes
Stop At: Kåkbrinken, Stockholm, Sweden
Here you will be explained why there are cannon barrels on many street corners in the old town. You can also see a rune stone built into the facade.
Duration: 4 minutes
Stop At: Prastgatan 5, Stockholm Sweden
We are now in a different part of Prästgatan. Although the buildings the guide shows you date from the 17th and 18th centuries, they can still give you an indication of what Stockholm looked like in the Middle Ages.
Duration: 4 minutes
Stop At: Saint Gertrude, German Church, Svartmangatan 16, 111 29 Stockholm, Sweden
Tyska kyrkan (the German Church) was built soon after the Reformation and still serves as a place for German-language services. At this point it makes sense to talk about the German influence in Stockholm's history. If you are interested, the guide will also be happy to tell you how Sweden became Protestant and how Sweden feels about religion today.
Duration: 8 minutes
Stop At: Marten Trotzigs grand, Marten Trotzigs Grand Old town, Stockholm 11129 Sweden
We walk through Stockholm's narrowest street, which is only 90 cm wide at its narrowest point.
Duration: 3 minutes
Stop At: Vasterlanggatan, Stockholm 11129 Sweden
The guide will show you a 17th-century city palace built in the Dutch Renaissance style.
Duration: 3 minutes
Stop At: Norra Bankogränd, Stockholm, Sweden
In this alley we stand between buildings that were once used by the Reichsbank. A distorted window shows that the building has partially subsided. A fitting place to talk about artificial landfill and postglacial land uplift.

Mit Thomas die Altstadt zu entdecken, war kurzweilig und hat uns einen umfassenden Eindruck von Stockholm und Schweden vermittelt. Thomas hat uns auf angenehme Art zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart reisen lassen und trotz dass die Altstadt voll mit anderen Touristen war, hat er uns Ecken gezeigt, wo wir nahezu allein waren. Vielen Dank für Tour! Sehr empfehlenswert!
