Half-Day in Stockholm with a Local

This flexible tour is designed to meet guests’ expectations and can be tailored along the way. It begins with a visit to Stockholm’s iconic City Hall (Stadshuset), the venue of the annual Nobel Prize Banquet, where guests enjoy a guided tour of its red-brick fortress-like structure and the tower crowned with three golden crowns, the emblem of Sweden. From there, the journey continues to Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s charming Old Town founded in 1252, where a walk through its narrow cobbled streets and medieval alleyways brings history to life. At Stortorget, the great square, guests see the Nobel Museum and the Swedish Academy. The experience continues with a short ferry ride to Djurgården, the city’s park and recreational island, where the group visits the world-renowned Vasa Museum. Here, the astonishingly preserved 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 is on full display, having been salvaged in 1961. The tour concludes with a comfortable drive back to the hotel or cruise ship.
