Stockholm Ghost Walk AB

Entertainer

👍👍 A great tour and experience. The English tour on 8/10/2021 at 7 p.m. was great (unfortunately I don't have the name of the great guide anymore). Was it Cullum? It wasn't Louis! There was no way it was Louis. The language was especially great, everything was very clear and very well articulated...

Olof Palme Memorial Plaque

Historical landmark

👍👍 If you're in Stockholm and just know a little about Sweden's political history this is a must see. It's in central Stockholm, so plan to visit it in 5-10 minutes while walking to your destination. It's nothing more than this text monument. His tombstone is 5 minutes walk from here.

4.10 (251 reviews) (~1.36 km from centre)

Skattkammaren

Museum

😐 Far too expensive for the two small rooms; go if it is of utmost importance to you or if it is park of an included package (ie Stockholm Pass, etc.). Beautiful jewels but almost no information included aside from a basic title of what the object is. Takes about 30 minutes total if you really stay an...

4.20 (133 reviews) (~0.16 km from centre)

Birger Jarl's Tower

Historical landmark

👍👍 I admired the beauty of this tower, perhaps the oldest in Stockholm, from the side of the town hall, and from the tower I admired the town hall.

Mariahissen

Historical landmark

😐 Saw the beautiful building on my walk to the scenic spot

4.50 (97 reviews) (~0.6 km from centre)

Gustav III:s Obelisk

Monument

😠 We should get rid of these egyptian symbols for the phallus. It brings shame unto Sweden my country.

4.20 (97 reviews) (~0.09 km from centre)

Birger Jarls statue

Historical landmark

👍👍 Great Historical Figure. Remember that the statue reflects what the people at the time who fashioned the sculpture thought he would look like. I like the chain mail.

4.30 (78 reviews) (~0.41 km from centre)

Arvfurstens Palats

Historical landmark

👍👍 Crossing the bridge you will be catapulted into another era, even from an architectural point of view, you will leave behind modern and touristy Stockholm, the shops and department stores, to enter medieval Stockholm. From here it will be possible to reach the ancient district: Gamla Stan. So with j...

Västerlångatan

Historical landmark

👍👍 Beautiful place!

4.30 (75 reviews) (~0.2 km from centre)

Nackas Hörna

Park

👍👍 Not much for the world but still bigger than Mecca. What is Red Skelton doing twice on the statue?

4.50 (74 reviews) (~1.62 km from centre)

Birger Jarls kenotaf

Historical landmark

👍👍 Stockholm is rich with culture and history, and Birger Jarls cenotaph is no exception. While it isn’t the actual grave of Stockholm’s founder, it symbolizes him and his legacy well. It’s a powerful location to be at, especially during summertime. The quiet whisking of the winds coming in from the ri...

Upplands runinskrifter 53

Historical landmark

👍👍 Very pretty runestone next in the middle of Gamla Stan right next to Stortorget. Supposedly ancient and from thousands of years ago however very hard to prove I guess
