Itinerary

  • Marten Trotzigs grand

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Your journey begins at Mårten Trotzigs Gränd, a place that never fails to surprise visitors with its tiny scale. Tucked away in Stockholm’s Old Town, this charming alley connects Västerlånggatan and Järntorget with Prästgatan and Tyska Stallplan. At its narrowest point—just 90 centimeters wide and reached by 36 descending steps—it is officially the narrowest street in the city, offering a quaint and memorable start to your walk.
  • Järntorget

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Emerging from the tight passageway, you’ll arrive at Järntorget, also known as the Iron Square. As one of the oldest squares in Stockholm’s Old Town, it has been a lively hub for centuries. Historically a center for trade, today it remains a vibrant meeting point where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy its atmosphere and browse nearby shops and cafés.
  • Merchant's Square

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Continuing onward, you’ll reach Köpmantorget, or Merchant’s Square. Surrounded by colorful historic buildings, this picturesque spot invites you to slow down and take in its details. Here, you’ll find a striking bronze replica of Saint George and the Dragon, a masterpiece that captures a legendary battle with remarkable intensity and craftsmanship.
  • Storkyrkan

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Next, step inside Storkyrkan, formally known as Storkyrkan, the oldest church in Stockholm’s Old Town. Built in the Swedish Brick Gothic style, its exterior is impressive, but the real treasures lie within. Among them is the original wooden sculpture of Saint George and the Dragon, dating back to 1489—a dramatic yet refined work that reflects both artistry and history.
  • The Royal Palace(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    Your tour then leads you to the magnificent Stockholm Palace. As the official residence of the Swedish monarch, the palace is a grand example of Baroque architecture. Its imposing structure—crafted from brick and sandstone, with copper-clad roofs and elegant stone balustrades—makes it one of the most iconic landmarks in the city.
  • House of Nobility

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    As you continue, you’ll pass by the House of Nobility, a historic institution that preserves records and traditions of Sweden’s noble families. Although entry is limited, the building’s exterior is worth admiring, especially the statue of Gustav Vasa standing proudly at its southern end.
  • Birger Jarl

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    From there, you’ll arrive at Birger Jarls Torg, a tranquil public square named after the founder of Stockholm, Birger Jarl. Since 1854, his statue has stood watch over the area. Surrounded by historic palaces, the square offers a peaceful moment to reflect on the city’s rich past.
  • Riddarholmen

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Finally, your tour concludes at Riddarholm Church, one of Stockholm’s oldest and most significant buildings. This historic church serves as the final resting place for many Swedish monarchs, including Gustavus Adolphus and Gustaf V. Though no longer used for regular services, it remains a place of deep national importance, primarily hosting funerals and memorial ceremonies.
