Take a leisurely stroll through the enchanting heart of Stockholm to see the charm and character that defines the historic area. Walk on ancient cobbled alleys, admire the saffron and terracotta-colored buildings, and listen to intriguing anecdotes from a local guide who brings the place to life.

Start your engrossing tour surrounded by the grand architecture of Gustav Adolf's Square. You can see such opulent landmarks as the Royal Swedish Opera and the impressive Parliament House. Next, head through the labyrinth of 13th-century streets and admire the elegant baroque style of the Royal Palace, official residence of the Swedish monarchs.

Hear from your expert guide about folktales and local lore, such as the legend of Saint George and the Dragon, and learn how the city grew from the area of Stortorget, the oldest square in town, to become the vibrant urban center it is today.
