You can easily discover Stockholm on your own, but if you want to find out more about the city’s culture, history and architecture, why not join one of the city’s many guided tours?
Stockholm City Museum really is the ultimate place to find out about Stockholm’s culture, architecture and history. There is plenty to see, all with a Stockholm theme – everything from photography exhibitions on current issues to glimpses of days gone by in the museum’s historical scenes. In the reference room you can find maps, photographs and old video footage. The museum gift shop has something for everyone, with Stockholm-related gifts, books and souvenirs.
Stockholm City Museum also arranges guided city tours for groups and individuals. The tours often focus on the culture, history and architecture of the city – both in older parts of the city and newer districts. Or you could join a tour about street art, and discover art in unexpected places that you probably wouldn’t have found on your own.www.stadsmuseum.stockholm.se
Taking a guided walking tour doesn’t necessarily mean you have to keep you feet on the ground. With a guided rooftop tour on the island of Riddarholmen, you can combine fantastic views of Stockholm with information on the city’s history, and a dizzying adventure, all in one. Ideal for those who don’t suffer from vertigo – the tour is conducted at heights of up to 43 metres!www.upplevmer.se
