Here, you can explore the iconic Royal Palace, one of the largest palaces in Europe, and witness the changing of the guard ceremony.

From Gamla Stan, make your way to the majestic Stockholm Cathedral, known for its beautiful interior and impressive art. Continue your tour to the picturesque island of Djurgården, home to the famous Vasa Museum, which houses a 17th-century ship that sank on its maiden voyage.

Must-Visit Places on a Free Walking Tour Stockholm in Winter

As you stroll through the enchanting streets of Stockholm in winter, make sure to stop by the iconic Stortorget in Gamla Stan, where the annual Christmas market brings the square to life with festive lights, delightful aromas, and traditional Swedish treats like glögg (spiced mulled wine) and pepparkakor (gingerbread cookies). Children will love participating in the holiday activities, such as crafting ornaments and meeting Santa Claus, making this a perfect family-friendly experience.

Another highlight of your winter walking tour is the charming island of Djurgården, where you can enjoy a leisurely walk through snow-dusted pathways. Don’t forget to visit the Vasa Museum to marvel at the magnificent 17th-century ship, which looks even more majestic against a backdrop of winter scenery. For a cozy break, pop into one of the local cafés to warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and a slice of kanelbullar (cinnamon bun), a beloved Swedish pastry that perfectly complements the chilly weather.
