About this experience

You leave Stockholm behind and step into Viking history. This ten hour private guided tour takes you through sacred landscapes and ancient towns. At Jarlabanke Bridge you trace runestones carved with power and pride. Arkils Tingstad whispers of Viking law as wind moves through the grass. Inside Vallentuna Church your fika break brings warmth with coffee and pastries. In Sigtuna narrow streets reveal rune covered stones and echoes of markets. Old Uppsala holds the memory of pagan rituals and silent mounds. Uppsala Cathedral then rises with vaulted arches where faith changed a nation. Each place deepens your journey into a past of myth and legend.

Detailed itinerary

Stone slabs line the path of an ancient crossing. Carved inscriptions tell of power and clan pride.

You stand on the ground where Viking law was spoken. The wind rustles grass as history lingers in the silence.

Inside the church stone walls feel cool to the touch. Warm coffee and sweet pastries bring comfort to your stop.

Cobblestone lanes wind past rune stones and wooden houses. Every step feels like time folds back to the Viking age.

Three great burial mounds rise against the horizon. The church stands where pagan rituals once filled the air with chant.

Stained glass throws color across vast stone columns. This is where the Viking world gave way to Christian faith.
