About this experience
The two "must see" attractions in Stockholm are the Old Town (Gamla Stan) and the Vasa museum. Few tourists leave Stockholm without visiting these two attractions! This tour, which starts at Gamla Stan metro station, combine these two major attractions! During the walk, we will tell you the story of Stockholm and Sweden. This includes the time when Sweden was one of the greatest powers in Europe and the Vasa ship was built. We will start our walk at Riddarholmen with a beautiful view of the lake Mälaren and the City Hall. We will pass the House of Nobility, the Parliament building, the Royal Palace and Stortorget in Old Town. Then we will take the ferry "Djurgårdsfärjan", a 10 minute trip to Djurgården, where the Vasa Museum is situated. In the museum, we will tell you the astonishing story about how one of the world's most modern warship capsized after only 1300 meters of sailing! After the trip, you can continue with some of the other museums or activities on Djurgården!

What you'll see and do
We start the tour at Gamla Stan Metro station, inside/under ground, in front of the Pressbyrån kiosk.

From Riddarholmen (The Knights Island) we have a beautiful view of the lake Mälaren and the City Hall, the famous landmark of Stockholm,

Riddarholmen
The story continues... Outside the Riddarholmen Church we will meet the presumed founder of Stockholm, Birger Jarl, or at least a statue of him. 1252 is the year when "Stockholm" was first mentioned in a written text that is preserved until today. Birger Jarl signed the paper...
5 minutes here
Riddarhuset
We stop outside Riddarhuset, the House of Nobility, and look at the statue of Gustav Vasa, "the father of Sweden". Since Gustav Vasa 1523 marched into Stockholm, Sweden has been a sovereign state, never occupied by foreign powers. Gustav, after his father and between 80 to 100 other noblemen were killed in “The bloodbath of Stockholm”, organised an uprising against our southern neighbour who had taken control over Sweden. He also changed the religion in Sweden from Catholicism to Lutheran Protestantism

Royal Palace
Next stop at the Royal Palace . We will enter the outer courtyard and see the guards, often dressed in elegant uniforms from past days. We will also visit "Slottsbacken" with a beautiful view of the inner harbour of Stockholm.
10 minutes here
Jarnpojken
The smallest and nicest statue in Sweden!
5 minutes here
Stortorget
The Nobel Price Museum is situated at Stortorget. The Swedish Royal Academies designate the winners of the most prestigious prices in many important fields of science and art.
10 minutes here
Stockholm Old Town
Below the statue of Carl XIV Johan we continue the story about Sweden. This king, the first of the Bernadottes, was imported to Sweden from France in the beginning of the 19th century to win back what we lost to the Russians. Instead he put his efforts into diplomacy, building infrastructure and develop education! In 2014 200 years of peace was celebrated in Sweden. The industrial revolution, natural resources and great Swedish inventions created a foundation for a welfare state, and several entrepreneurs continued the development in the 20th and 21th centuries. !
20 minutes here
From Skeppsbron we will take the ferry "Djurgårdsfärjan" to Djurgården. Time for some rest :) (This is a walking tour; in the Old Town we walk about 1 mile, and, after the boat trip, another 0.5 miles to the Vasa Museum. So, in total, about 1.5 miles (about 2.4 km) But we walk at a slow pace, and we stop at different sites, take photos, etc., and we are open to adjustments of pace.)
10 minutes here · Admission included
Vasa Museum
Entrance to the Vasa museum is included. Our guide will show you the ship and tell you the amazing story about how Vasa capsized and then was salvaged more than 300 years later! This is the end of the guided tour, but you are welcome to stay in the museum after the tour is finished. (If you have time, why not stay on the Djurgården island also in the afternoon, visit the Abba Museum ("walk in, dance out" ), the Viking Museum, the amusement park Gröna Lund, or Skansen. All of these attractions are situated on the beautiful island Djurgården (but not included in this tour)).

Good walk around old town.
Good way to explore old town and see the Vasa museum.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour. The Old Town and the Vasa Museum are indeed two of Stockholm’s most important and fascinating sights, and we’re happy you got to experience both with us!

Wonderful walking tour, 10/10
We learned so much about the history, people and architecture as we walked through! Natalie was wonderful as our guide! She helped us cover so much more ground than we could on our own, and understand what we were looking at. This tour helped us appreciate Stockholm even more than we did before we arrived. After three hours of the walking part, we ended at the Vasa museum to navigate that at our own pace. I would say including the Vasa museum, the whole tour was more like at least four hours (depending on how long you want to stay at the museum). 10/10 would absolutely recommend this tour! It was fun and we learned so much :).
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Natalie could help you discover Stockholm’s history, architecture, and fascinating stories in a way that made the city even more enjoyable. Thank you for the 10/10 recommendation!

Swedish Stockholm tour
Our guide Natalie was very informative and sincere. Only constructive feedback is that the meeting place was not the easiest to find. This was a new country to navigate and meeting in an underground rail station was not waxy to find. Loved the vasser museum. Fascinating
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review and for the constructive feedback! We’re very glad you enjoyed the tour with Natalie and especially the fascinating Vasa Museum. We understand that finding the meeting point in the metro station can be a little challenging when visiting Stockholm for the first time, and we’ll certainly keep that in mind. It was a pleasure having you as our guest!

Stockholm’s Old City and Vasa Museum.
Natalie was a great guide. She is very knowledgeable about the city and history and she kept us engaged with all the things to see. I like the fact that the last stop was the Vasa Museum so we could stay as long as we wanted. So glad we did this tour and would highly recommend Natalie be your guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Natalie’s knowledge and enthusiasm made your visit to Stockholm special. We are also glad that you appreciated ending at the Vasa Museum, where you could continue exploring at your own pace. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Stockholm someday!

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Stockholm Old Town and the Vasa Museum, a Small Group Walking Tour.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does Stockholm Old Town and the Vasa Museum, a Small Group Walking Tour. cost?
+
Prices start at $129 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stockholm usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Stockholm Old Town and the Vasa Museum, a Small Group Walking Tour. take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Stockholm is not rushed.
Is Stockholm Old Town and the Vasa Museum, a Small Group Walking Tour. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 123 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stockholm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Stockholm Old Town and the Vasa Museum, a Small Group Walking Tour.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Stockholm Old Town and the Vasa Museum, a Small Group Walking Tour. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Stockholm Old Town and the Vasa Museum, a Small Group Walking Tour.?
+
Around 43 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Stockholm can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Stockholm and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Stockholm Old Town and the Vasa Museum, a Small Group Walking Tour. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Stockholm within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Stockholm?
+
On Outty we rank every Stockholm experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Stockholm: Walking Tour of the Old Town, Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours), Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Stockholm?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Stockholm?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
