Description:

A glorious labyrinth of narrow streets that date as far back as the 13th century, Stockholm's Gamla Stan is the authentic heart of the city. Walk with a local guide to see some of the most important sights in a truly charming district.

A leisurely stroll through an enchanting maze of old alleyways lined with faded mustard- and rust-colored townhouses takes you to the heart of Stockholm. This the place where, starting in the 13th century, the city began to expand into the scenic islands of the Baltic Sea, referred to today as the Stockholm archipelago.

Your knowledgeable guide shows you the world-famous Nobel Museum and the impressive Royal Palace, the official residence of Swedish monarchs. Listen to intriguing anecdotes that bring the city's past and present to life. Learn about the mythical Saint George and the Dragon as you pass by an emblematic statue.

During the warmer summer months, venture to Riddarholmen, an enchanting islet, home to a royal burial church and a variety of private palaces.
