Enjoy your private tour with a guide in the language of your choosing.
Stortorget, or the main square in the Old Town, has always been the heart of Stockholm. If cobbles could speak, there would be so many stories to share! Today, it houses the Nobel Museum, a museum dedicated to one of Sweden’s greatest inventors and his legacy.
The northernmost part of Prästgatan (Priest Street) was once known as Helvetsgränd (Hell's Alley). During the Middle Ages, it was thought that the part that lay northwest of the church was a desecrated resting place for the dead. Storkyrkan (Stockholm Cathedral) is found just around the corner; thus, this part of the street was referred to as Hell.
The Royal Palace is one of Europe's largest and most vibrant places. It is His Majesty the King's official residence, and essential parts of the monarchy's representation take place here. The Royal Palace is also the everyday workplace for the King and Queen, making the Royal Palace of Stockholm unique among Europe's royal residences.
