I did a Christmas Tour with stoRy touRs in December 14. Luckily the weather was great (cold but clear), and so the weather for the walking tour was perfect. Lidi was our host and she was knowledgeable, spoke really clearly and had a great energy and passion in hosting us. We walked through the old town noting key points about the area, it's history, the gorgeous Xmas markets, and even sampled some scrumptious mulled wine with traditional cookie and pastry. Lidi was humble, professional and always willing to ask questions and involve everybody. A real pleasure. I did this with my girlfriend and we both had an amazing time. Would really recommend!

Description

Hear stories about the history of Stockholm, see sights of interest, get to know Swedish Christmas traditions and sample festive treats on an enchanting walk through the lantern-lit streets of Stockholm’s Old Town. You’ll discover what the Vikings were celebrating at this time of year, why a straw goat is a traditional Scandinavian Christmas symbol and why Protestant Swedes celebrate an Italian saint on December 13th.

After meeting near the charming Christmas market on Stortorget – Stockholm’s oldest square, we’ll walk along winding cobblestone streets past the Royal Palace, Stockholm Cathedral and the German Church to Stockholm’s narrowest alley – Mårten Trotzigs Gränd.

Halfway through the tour we’ll stop at one of the historical cafés in the Old Town for a cup of glögg (Swedish mulled wine) and pepparkakor (gingerbread). Once we’ve warmed up, we’ll continue exploring the atmospheric squares and streets to learn more about Swedish Christmas traditions.
