Overview

Start your journey at the Slottsbacken Obelisk and embark on a guided walking tour through Stockholm's Old Town. Explore the fascinating history of this iconic area while visiting renowned landmarks such as the Royal Palace, Stortorget (the Grand Square), the Nobel Prize Museum, the Old Town Runestone, and the Riddarhuset (House of Nobility).

Enhance your experience with a scenic ferry ride to Djurgården Isle, where you'll see Stockholm from the water. Along the way, learn intriguing facts about historic sites like the old Stockholm Naval Base, the Nordic Museum, the Viking Museum, and the Museum of Wrecks.

Conclude your tour at the renowned Vasa Museum, where you can skip the line and immerse yourself in the story of the remarkably well-preserved Vasa ship. Your guide will share captivating stories of the ship's tragic demise, history and restoration.

Important: For tours starting at 16:00/4 PM, the itinerary is reversed due to Vasa Museum opening hours.
