Overview

Discover the charm of Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, on a guided walking tour. Stroll through its narrow, colorful streets, uncover centuries of history and culture, and admire landmarks such as the Royal Palace.

Meet your guide at Gustav Adolfs Torg in the heart of the city to begin your journey through Gamla Stan. Walk along iconic sites including the Royal Palace, the statue of St. George and the Dragon, the city’s narrowest street, and the famous main square, Stortorget — the setting of one of Sweden’s darkest historical moments.

Along the way, your dynamic guides, each with diverse backgrounds, will share stories that blend the city’s rich past with insights into modern Swedish life. You’ll not only see the highlights but also gain a deeper understanding of Stockholm and its people.

With Rainbow Tours — Stockholm’s top-rated walking tour company — you’ll explore the city on foot, get insider tips for the rest of your stay, and experience Stockholm like a local.
