Interesting historical tour
It is really more of an interesting history tour then scary ghosts. Good chance to walk around gamla Stan at night in a group and see a different view of the town
Response from the operator: You are so right! Glad that you like our tour even if did not meet any scary ghosts. As we say on our website; Our Ghost Walk contain a great deal of Historical information and of course it’s legends. You will follow your guide for 90 minutes and hear tales of murders, myths, mysteries, executions, assassinations, diseases and legends. You will have the opportunity to see, touch, smell and taste the history. Join The Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour for 90 minutes of history and mystery. When was Stockholm found, what diseases visit us and how did they try to cure the inhabitants, where was the old redlight district located, who is it that haunts the hotel, how many heads was beheaded on the Stockholm Bloodbath, who is the spirit that cannot get to rest under the German church and much more. Explore the streets and alleyways that make up the oldest parts of Stockholm.

The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour - Gamla Stan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour - Gamla Stan cost?
+
Prices start at $27 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 The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour - Gamla Stan take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour - Gamla Stan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,306 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Stockholm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour - Gamla Stan?
+
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 The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour - Gamla Stan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour - Gamla Stan?
+
Around 457 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour - Gamla Stan 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.
