Private Stockholm Highlights

The best way to discover a new city is on foot and this informative walking tour delivers! Your expedition begins as you meet your guide at the harbor for a brief yet scenic ride into Gamla Stan, or Old Town.

Along the way see Jarnpojke, a tiny iron sculpture depicting a boy looking at the moon, then stop at the Royal Palace and watch the spirited ceremonial changing of the guards. This impressive palace is the official residence of the Swedish Monarch and boasts 1,430 rooms as well as the state treasury, a library and museum. Located close by is St. Nicolas Cathedral, a Gothic style church that has hosted several coronations, royal weddings and funerals. Head over to City Hall, a massive structure famous for its art, ceremonial halls and breathtaking overviews of Stockholm from atop its 106 meter tower. It is also the site of the yearly Nobel Prize Banquet.
