Welcome to Sweden’s capital! Free Walking Tours in Stockholm are perfect to explore the “Venice of the North” with a passionate guide. An Essential Stockholm City Tour, or a Free Tour of the Old Town will allow you to see the main landmarks in about 2 or 3 hours without getting lost in its maze of bridges. Also, young travelers tend to greatly enjoy a Free Tour of the Sodermalm Quarter, where the coolest and most hipster venues of the city are concentrated. In addition, a Stockholm New Town Tour will be the ideal way to fully explore the most cultural and modern area of the capital — the districts of Ostermalm and Norrmalm. And if you have more free time, we recommend booking a Free Myths and Legends Tour to discover the magical and mysterious side of this Viking capital. Join Stockholm Free Walking Tours and see why it is one of the most beautiful capitals in the world!

The capital of Sweden is one of the most elegant cities in Europe. Its monuments are concentrated in Gamla Stan, the romantic old part of the city. There stands the Royal Palace, the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, the German Church, the Riddarholmen Church, the Swedish Parliament, the world-renowned Royal Opera, the statue of Gustav Adolf II, and the Stockholm City Hall (the place where the Nobel Prize is delivered). In this area, you will walk through Vasterlanggatan, the oldest street in Stockholm, and the alley of Marten Trotzig. Also, we recommend taking a ferry to the New Town, in Ostermalm and Norrmalm. There, you can stroll through the great square of Nybroplan, chill out in the beautiful park of Humlegarden, and take a picture of the statue of Linnaeus, one of Sweden’s national heroes. In addition, in Norrmalmstorg you can find out about the robbery from which derives the "Stockholm Syndrome"!

There are many activities that will fill your day of sightseeing in Stockholm. We recommend starting with a hearty breakfast in Gamla Stan. Why don’t you try the smorgasbord? It’s a feast of sweet and savory dishes that can include herring and kottbullar (Ikea famous meatballs!). After strolling through the cobbled streets in the old town, it's a good idea to take a ferry to Sodermalm. There, have a coffee in one of the many cute minimalist cafes, and then head to Monteliusvagen for spectacular panoramic views. Do you want more weekend plans? With more than 100 museums, many of them on the island of Djurgarden, Stockholm is a must-see travel destination for art and culture lovers. Our favorites include the Skansen Open Air Museum, the gigantic National Museum and the child-friendly Vasa Museum, which houses a spectacular 17th-century shipwreck. And, of course, the must-see ABBA Museum!
