Curious about medieval Stockholm? This short tour in English offers a brief introduction.

We visit sites that reveal what life was like in the medieval city and explore traces still visible in cobblestones and building facades. Walking around Stortorget, we’ll hear about the Stockholm Bloodbath, see the inner courtyard of the parish church, and stroll along a street where people have hurried by since the 13th century.

After the tour, you can join a guided visit inside Storkyrkan (separate entrance fee applies).
