Itinerary:

If you’re looking to learn about the history, landmarks and cuisine of the Swedish capital, while exploring some of its hidden gems, then this Stockholm walking tour is guaranteed to impress. Not only will it show you some of the best city views Stockholm travel can offer, but will delve into everything from the social system and the country’s unique connection with the surrounding environment. After meeting at Hornstull Metro Station, head to Södermalm, to see the urban allotments and colorful wooden houses.

 

Learn more from your Stockholm guide about the end of the 19th century, when Stockholm had become an industrial and polluted city and how important these public patches were – and still are – to Stockholm’s residents. Continue towards Skinnarviksberget, Stockholm’s highest hill, for impressive views of the city, before heading along the Monteliusvägen trail.

 

Next on this Stockholm tour, you will soak up the picturesque views and learn about how Stockholm’s 14 islands were settled. After passing Slussen, the central water locks which separate Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea, walk into the Old Town. Take time to appreciate the wonderful medieval buildings and learn a few of the legends about Stockholm founding.

 

After exploring some of its nicest backstreets, our Stockholm trip calls into Stortorget Square to hear about the famous Stockholm Bloodbath in 1520. Take a walk through the Swedish Parliament courtyard, continuing on to the old Opera House, and the elegant Östermalm neighborhood. Try a authentic taste of Sweden at the Hötorget Square Street Market, one of the city’s best food locations, and an essential stop to try genuine Swedish fare.

End this walking tour of Stockholm outside the market, with a new appreciation for the city and an insiders list of places to revisit later on.

Tipping:

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour.
