Gamla Stan: Self-Guided Audio Tour of Stockholm’s Old City
Overview
This self-guided audio tour takes you through the cobbled streets of a medieval settlement that became a democratic monarchy. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Stockholm.
The cobbled streets of Stockholm’s old town, Gamla Stan, are layered with history. They tell the story of how the city became a medieval settlement forced through climate changes, a transit point for merchants heading to the eastern Baltic Sea, following the earlier Viking's routes. On this walk I’ll introduce you to the fascinating old town that has attracted travelers for centuries.
As you walk through the narrow streets of Gamla Stan, I’ll point out the four islands that form this area. You’ll hear about the people who shaped the city, such as Birger Jarl and Gustav Vasa. On this circular tour, I’ll tell you about the current monarchy and its origins. You’ll hear about how the city transformed from a liberated nation to a European powerhouse and, finally, a democratic monarchy.
