Hi! I'm Italian and have always loved traveling and discovering new cultures, and every trip has brought me unforgettable stories and emotions. For two years, I've been a tour guide in Stockholm, a city that has captivated me with its unmistakable atmosphere. I'm a scholar and passionate about history, art, and local traditions, and I love sharing my knowledge, blending history and curiosities to convey the details and secret charm that each place holds.

We'll then enter Stortorget, the square of the infamous "Bloodbath," and discover Järnpojke, Sweden's smallest figurine. We'll conclude our tour with a sweet surprise, witnessing the creation of artisanal candies in a historic workshop and... tasting them right there!
