Stockholm. 14 islands, two bodies of water and 57 bridges. Would you like to know what Sweden looked like in the 17 and 1800s? Skansen is the world’s oldest open-air museum, founded in 1891 and does just that! This miniature Sweden with 150 houses from all over the country gives you an insight into Sweden’s heritage and natural history.

In four hours we will cover the city districts of Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Norrmalm, Östermalm, and Djurgården, each with its own special character.


Södermalm. This trendy and bohemian area of the city, offers both small wooden houses from

the 1700s and a fantastic view of the city.
Gamla Stan. Or Old Town as we would say in English. Where every- thing once began. Small alleyways, cobbled streets, this island is home to the Royal Palace. As we wander the streets the history we will listen to stories and legends that make the Old Town come alive!
