Detailed itinerary

Your day begins at the renowned History Museum in Stockholm. Here, you will be greeted by the breathtaking Gold Room and, most importantly, the premier Viking exhibition in the world. Forget the horned helmets of legend; here, you will encounter the real Vikings, marvel at exquisitely crafted jewelry, fearsome weapons, and everyday objects that tell a story of travel, trade, and power. The highlight is the opportunity to come face-to-face with authentic Viking skeletons, offering a poignant connection to these people of the past. This visit provides the essential context for the ancient landscapes we will explore.

Part of an ancient causeway crossing what was once a fjord. This is not just a relic; it's a statement of power. You will walk where Vikings walked and see runestones erected by the local chieftain, Jarlabanke, who famously boasted: "Alone, he owned this entire hundred." It’s a unique chance to stand on a tangible piece of Viking-age infrastructure and understand the importance of control over trade routes.

A short journey brings us to the serene Täby Church, this stop offers a fascinating glimpse into Sweden's transition from the Norse pagan beliefs to Christianity, built centuries after the Viking Age, the church grounds and walls incorporate several Viking runestones, seeing these ancient symbols, once dedicated to pagan gods, now standing quietly beside a Christian church, tells a powerful story of cultural and religious transformation.
