Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

We will start the activity at the City Hall at 10:00 and get 45 minutes listening to its rich history around the gardens, enjoying the view together. We cannot go into the building itself as it is a government building that organises its own excursions, and on many occasions it can’t guarantee availability to its visitors.

Stop 2

We will walk through the Old Town of Stockholm (10.45 to 12.00) and visit the most important landmarks, such as the Cathedral, the Royal Palace, main square, the Nobel Prize museum… and anything that you want to visit.

We will have a short break (12:00 to 12:30) to take some coffee or tea, or a light sandwich.

We will take the ferry together to get to the Vasa museum.

Stop 5

This amazing warship is the best preserved vessel of the 17th century, in our 1 hour tour you will get to understand everything that happened.

What's not included

City Hall visit can not be included due to their scheduling.

Each participant will buy their own snack, or coffee. We will stop at a café that serves many things, let us know if there are any dietary restrictions so we choose an alternative.
