Itinerary

1. Stortorget
Stortorget, or the main square in the Old Town, has always been the heart of Stockholm. If cobbles could speak, there would be so many stories to share! Today, it houses the Nobel Museum, a museum dedicated to one of Sweden’s greatest inventors and his legacy.
Duration: 15 mins
2. Prästgatan
The northernmost part of Prästgatan (Priest Street) was once known as Helvetsgränd (Hell's Alley). During the Middle Ages, it was thought that the part that lay northwest of the church was a desecrated resting place for the dead. Storkyrkan (Stockholm Cathedral) is found just around the corner; thus, this part of the street was referred to as Hell.
Duration: 10 mins
3. Royal Palace
The Royal Palace is one of Europe's largest and most vibrant places. It is His Majesty the King's official residence, and essential parts of the monarchy's representation take place here. The Royal Palace is also the everyday workplace for the King and Queen, making the Royal Palace of Stockholm unique among Europe's royal residences.
Duration: 10 mins
4. Storkyrkan
The Stockholm Cathedral is one of Stockholm's oldest buildings, where King Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia said, “I do.” In 2010, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel followed in their footsteps.
Duration: 10 mins
5. Jarnpojken
Järnpojke is the smallest (and most adorable!) statue in Sweden. The official name of the statue is the Iron Boy (Järnpojken in Swedish); however, he is also known as the “Boy looking at the Moon.”
Duration: 10 mins
6. Statue of St. George
St George and the Dragon symbolises the battle between Sweden (St. George) and Denmark (the Dragon) in the late 1400s. The sculpture is a bronze copy; the original is found inside Storkyrkan (Stockholm Cathedral) and is made of wood.
Duration: 10 mins
7. Marten Trotzigs grand
Mårten Trotzig is the narrowest alley in Stockholm. At its narrowest point, it is only 90cm wide. Some guidebooks claim it is the narrowest alley in Europe, but unfortunately, that is not true; there is one in Prague that is only 60cm wide. With all certainty, there are alleys in other European countries that are narrower than Mårten Trotzig.
Duration: 10 mins
8. Skeppsbron 26
Enjoy a scenic public ferry ride! With two bodies of water in the city centre, ferries are a means of public transport and a perfect spot to get picturesque photo opportunities and visit the world-famous Vasa Museum.
Duration: 20 mins
9. Vasa Museum
The Vasa Museum is home to the world's only preserved ship from the 1600s. Together, we will skip the line to enter the Vasa Museum and learn about her story. In short, The Vasa was Sweden's most expensive and richly ornamented naval vessel during the 1600s. When the Vasa sailed forth on her maiden voyage, Stockholms stood along the shore to wish her good luck. They were eyewitness to the disaster. The Vasa capsized and sank inside the Stockholm harbour. Today, the Vasa Ship lies before you, 98% intact.
Duration: 60 mins
