Self-Guided Walking Tours in Sweden

1 free self-guided walking tour, with an audio guide at every stop.

Gamla stan, Stockholm's old town, is an island of narrow medieval lanes where the Royal Palace, the merchants' square and the alley barely a metre wide all sit within a few minutes' walk.

Our self-guided walk starts on Stortorget, the old market square, passes the Royal Palace, squeezes through Mårten Trotzigs Gränd, crosses to Riddarhuset and the island of Riddarholmen, and ends on Västerlånggatan, the main lane. About 35 minutes and 1.3 km.

Free, no app, no signup: the narration for each stop plays as you arrive.
