What To Expect
Stortorget
Stortorget, or the main square in the Old Town, has always been the heart of Stockholm. If cobbles could speak, there would be so many stories to share! Today, it houses the Nobel Museum, a museum dedicated to one of Sweden’s greatest inventors and his legacy.
The northernmost part of Prästgatan (Priest Street) was once known as Helvetsgränd (Hell's Alley). During the Middle Ages, it was thought that the part that lay northwest of the church was a desecrated resting place for the dead. Storkyrkan (Stockholm Cathedral) is found just around the corner; thus, this part of the street was referred to as Hell.

Great walking tour!

5.00This was a fantastic tour! Got a real feel for Stockholm's history and got all the highlights in during one day before we boarded a cruise ship. Guide was highly knowledgeable and friendly. Having the guide take us through the Vasa was especially worth it. It is a lot of walking but that's what we wanted. Had a great time and would highly recommend for any first timers and especially those on a limited time frame in the city.
Great tour - wonderful guide

5.00This was a wonderful tour. It was cold the day we did it but our guide was great at keeping us moving and stopping for coffee. He was so informative about the city and of course the Vasa Museum. Our guide , David, was very interesting, funny and knowledgeable about everything in the Museum. I would highly recommend this tour.

5.00It is a wonderful museum, not only because of its main piece, which is a colossal ship, but also because of the rest of the collection and the explanations given to us. I loved!

Hit the high points of Stockholm Old Town

5.00This was a great tour. An easy half day but long enough to be a great introduction to the history of old town and Stockholm in general. Our guide, Veerle was wonderful and tremendously enthusiastic. The ferry ride was short and probably scenic (though our visibility was obscured by a fair amount of snow).
