What you'll see and do
Stortorget
Stortorget is Stockholm's heart and the Old Town's main square. With its iconic, colourful buildings, it is a must-see! Learn about the Stockholm Bloodbath, the Nobel Prize, and more as you stroll the narrow alleyways.
10 minutes here
The northernmost part of Prästgatan (Priest Street) was once known as Helvetsgränd (Hell's Alley). During the Middle Ages, it was thought that the part northwest of the church was a desecrated resting place for the dead. Storkyrkan (Stockholm Cathedral) is just around the corner; thus, this part of the street was called Hell.
10 minutes here
Royal Palace
The Royal Palace is one of Europe's largest and most vibrant places. It is His Majesty the King's official residence, and essential parts of the monarchy's representation occur here. The Royal Palace is also the everyday workplace for the King and Queen. This makes the Royal Palace of Stockholm unique amongst Europe's royal residences.
10 minutes here · Admission not included
Storkyrkan
The Stockholm Cathedral is one of Stockholm's oldest buildings. Inside the church is a wooden statue of St George and the Dragon from the 1400s. Festive events like royal weddings take place here. In 2010, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel were married, following in the footsteps of her parents.
10 minutes here · Admission not included
Jarnpojken
Järnpojken is the smallest (and most adorable!) statue in Sweden. The statue's official name is the Iron Boy; however, he is also known as the “Boy looking at the Moon”.
5 minutes here
St George and the Dragon symbolises the battle between Sweden (St. George) and Denmark (the Dragon) in the late 1400s. The sculpture is a bronze copy; the original is found inside Storkyrkan (Stockholm Cathedral) and is made of wood.
10 minutes here
The square's name is Brända Tomten, which means “the brunt property.” Learn about the fires that have ravaged Old Town and the insurance needed to receive help from the fire department back in the day.
5 minutes here
Marten Trotzigs grand
Mårten Trotzig is the narrowest alley in Stockholm. At its narrowest point, it is only 90cm wide. Some guidebooks claim it is the narrowest alley in Europe, but unfortunately, that is not true; there is one in Prague that is only 60cm wide. With all certainty, there are alleys in other European countries that are narrower than Mårten Trotzig.
10 minutes here
Esglesia Alemanya
When Stockholm was founded in 1252, Birger Jarl, the founder, decided to invite the Germans to help him build the city. The German Church was built during the 1600s.

Loved the Palace Tour
My wife and I had a delightful experience on this tour. Our guide was Cedric. He arrived at the meeting place on time. He was very professional and very knowledgeable. He paced things just right and answered all of our questions. He was very polite and accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Cedric.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Stockholm Old Town Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does Stockholm Old Town Private Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $505 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 Private Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Private Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Private 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 Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Stockholm Old Town Private Walking Tour?
+
Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Stockholm Old Town Private 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.
