Experience Details*

Stretch your legs and marvel at the beautiful buildings of Stockholm.

Gaze up at the arresting exterior of the gigantic Royal Palace – the King’s former residence and current workplace – and step inside to explore. Your expert guide will show you to some of the highlights of this palatial wonder, including the dazzling State Apartments with their intricate baroque and rococo designs.

Hear fascinating facts about the city’s past as you wind your way through the narrow, cobbled streets of the Old Town. Marvel at the medieval cathedral and stroll into Stortorget, the square that’s dominated by the 18th-century Stock Exchange Building – now housing the Swedish Academy and the Nobel Museum.

Round off your experience with a little free time to spend at your leisure. Choose whether you’d like to uncover more historic sights, shop for souvenirs, or duck into a local café and buy yourself a drink.
