Explore The Downtown And Old Town Of Stockholm In 4 Hours

This very tour will be ideal for those of you who are visiting Stockholm for only a day (cruiser guests). We will cover the main sights of downtown and old town in 4 hours. During these hours you really get a great overview of both modern and medieval history of Stockholm. Walk with me through some of the priciest streets of this amazing city and listen to the stories you might have heard about but never really understood like the mysterious murder of Olof Palme, Stockholm syndrome or Stockholm bloodbath. For those of you interested in some royal gossip I have a special treat, which has an interesting outcome on modern day Swedish history. We'll also visit one of the largest and best-preserved medieval city centers in Europe: Stockholm's Gamla Stan. This is where it all started, back in the year 1252. You'll learn about our most important kings—their names are easy to remember—and hear about the famous Vikings plus learn how to read an actual runestone.

- After meeting up at the cruise terminal or your hotel we will start exploring the downtown area first since it gets busy in the afternoons passing places of interest like the main shopping/pedestrian street, Concert house, first skyscrapers of Europe, King's street. . . - We will eventually reach the birthplace of Stockholm syndrome and then slowly cross over to the Old Town where we can make a short stop for coffee or snacks, possibly even lunch. - In the Old Town we will avoid the huge groups and stick to the side streets where you can learn about many of the Swedish kings. We'll also unearth one of the best-kept secrets in the city. - You'll walk along the narrowest street of this amazing city and learn why it's a tourist magnet - and I'll also tell you a secret that most people do not know at all.
