A walk through the old town offers history, declaration of Swedish culture and traditions, as well as beautiful architecture, everything in the very special atmosphere of Stockholm's Old Town.
In 1.5 hours one learns good stuff; for example, how many rooms the royal palace has what the statue of St. George is, and the dragon actually for Sweden is why the Old Town today is greater than ever before, which the narrowest street in Stockholm is, and what the Swedes have done with their beer.
In summer, the leadership continues to the island of Riddarholmen, for stunning views of Lake Mälaren, and a lake on the city itself.
In short, with our stories, legends and with humour, we bring the old town to life for you.
Are you an active person? Do you want to see more of the city than you could see on foot? Would you like to get off the beaten track and see residential Stockholm? Then meet Stockholm Our Way in front of the City Hall and follow us along some of the 760 km of bike lanes along Stockholm.
During our three hour adventure we’ll drive through the islands of Kungsholmen, Långholmen, Södermalm, as well as along the Old Town, enjoying beautiful sights such as the City Hall, one of the homes and factories of Alfred Nobel, the former city prison and the Royal Palace.

There is nothing as tranquil as the Stockholm archipelago in the morning. On the way out to the archipelago island Fjäderholmarna we'll pass Old Town with its beautiful historic buildings followed by the newly-built area, Hammarby Sjöstad. The guide will tell you about the sights and places we pass along the way. The tour also includes a stop at Fjäderholmarna (the feather islands) for a guided walk. The boat returns back in the city at 11.30, but the return ticket is valid all day if you want to stay on the island a couple of hours longer.
See and do on Fjäderholmarna
On the island there are cliffs and a small beach perfect for sunbathing, a little museum for old ships and craftsmen shops with glasblowers, pottery makers, smiths and handycrafts. You can also visit Mackmyra Swedish Whiskey or Fjäderholmarna Brewery and Brewpub.
Food & beverages on Fjäderholmarna
There are several great places to eat and drink on the island. Enjoy the tastes of the archipelago at Fjäderholmarnas Krog, Fjäderholmarnas Magasin & Grill or Rökerie. Get a cup of coffee at Röda Villan or some homemade icecream at Systrarna Degen. The last boat departs at midnight which gives you plenty of time to enjoy the island.

Today it is known as the trendiest area in Stockholm. Resembling is to New York’s Brooklyn and London’s Shoreditch, and home to Stockholm’s hipsters, fashion brands, vintage shops and fabulous restaurants and cafés. SoFo is where we will finish.
Starting from the beginning, Södermalm is where we placed people when we ran out of space in the Old Town. It holds a lot of great, but horrific history, beautiful views and as if that weren’t enough, it is also the home of Lisbeth Salander & Mikael Blomqvist, where the now world famous Millennium trilogy all started.
Before we take you to SoFo, we will journey through history, witch trails,
executions, the life of the working class, all leading us up to today’s Latte Mums’s & Sourdough Dad’s.
