Medieval Booth

  • 11am—5pm 

Curious about medieval Stockholm? Drop by and learn about the time when the Old Town was new! In the Medieval Booth you’ll find medieval-themed shopping, a mini exhibition, and tickets for guided walks.

Short guided walks

  • 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30pm in Swedish
  • 2.30pm in English

We explore sites that reveal life in the medieval city, spotting traces still visible in cobblestones and building façades. The tour includes Stortorget’s dark history, the inner courtyard of the parish church, and streets where people have hurried by since the 1200s.

Storkyrkan Boys’ Choir

  • 1.15—1.30pm

Kören kommer i procession från Själagården till Storkyrkans gård. Gosskören har rötter tillbaka till andra hälften av 1600-talet och uppträder regelbundet på konserter i Stockholm, runt om i Sverige och utomlands. På gården framför de idag gregorianska hymner under ledning av dirigent Gregory Lloyd.

Touch & explore
