Stockholm: from modern observation platforms to medieval streets
Enjoy a comfortable car tour through Stockholm’s most atmospheric and iconic areas — from modern viewpoints with spectacular city panoramas to medieval streets and hidden courtyards full of history and charm.
The tour begins on Södermalm, a district known for its mix of classic wooden houses, modern buildings, and impressive viewpoints. You will drive along scenic waterfronts with beautiful views of the city and stop at the famous Avicii Arena (the Globe), a landmark venue for major sporting events and cultural performances. If you wish, you can take the SkyView lift to the observation deck at the top of the spherical building and enjoy one of the best panoramic views in Stockholm.
During the drive, you will cross Stockholm’s longest bridge and see Stockholm City Hall, where the Nobel Prize Banquet is held every year. The tour then continues with a walk through Stockholm’s historic heart — Gamla Stan, the Old Town.
This walk feels like a journey back in time. Narrow cobblestone streets, colorful 17th-century buildings, and quiet courtyards create the atmosphere of centuries past. Your guide will tell you how Stockholm’s residents lived long ago and reveal stories and secrets hidden behind the old facades. You will hear about intrigues and conspiracies connected with the Royal Palace and discover how an ordinary French soldier became the founder of Sweden’s current royal dynasty. You will also meet a small iron boy, a beloved local figure said to make wishes come true.
At the end of the tour, you may choose to relax in one of the many cafés in the Old Town and enjoy a traditional Swedish fika.
This two-hour tour offers panoramic views, medieval atmosphere, and a taste of modern Swedish life — all in one unforgettable experience.
