Tour description

We start at Sergels Torg / Sergel Square, known locally as "Plattan," which is a vibrant hub in central Stockholm named after Swedish sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel. It is a favorite meeting place for locals and an epicenter for city events and protests. 


Norrmalmstorg / Norrmalm Square: This area became internationally famous due to the 1973 bank robbery that coined the term "Stockholm Syndrome." Today, it is a picturesque, upscale area surrounded by boutiques and cafes, and tourists can appreciate its intriguing history.


Berzelii Park: Named after the renowned Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius. Its tree-lined paths, beautiful fountains, and statues offer visitors a peaceful retreat amidst Stockholm's bustling streets. They are located near the exclusive Strandvägen boulevard and the famous Dramaten theater.


Royal Tree Garden / Kungsträdgården: One of Stockholm's oldest and most beloved parks and home to beautiful cherry blossoms. It is a popular place for gatherings, festivals, and social events. 


Royal Palace / Kungliga Slottet: One of the largest in Europe, it is the official residence of the Swedish monarch. With over 600 rooms, it's a grand symbol of Sweden's monarchy. The daily changing of the guard ceremony is a must-see!


We finish at Coin Square / Mynttorget + The Parliament / Riksdagen, a historically important location as a center of political events and protests regarding the country's political evolution, governance, and civic culture.
