Stockholm. 14 islands, two bodies of water and 57 bridges. The Royal Palace stands on the island of Gamla Stan, it is the King’s official residence. It has 608 rooms and is also the setting for most of the monarchy’s official receptions. As we see the Royal Palace we will also learn more about the Swedish Royal Family including the King Carl XVI Gustav, his wife, Queen Silvia and their three children. In four hours we will cover the city districts of Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Norrmalm, Östermalm, and Djurgården, each with its own special character.
Södermalm. This trendy and bohemian area of the city, offers both small wooden houses from the 1700s and a fantastic view of the city.
Gamla Stan. Or Old Town as we would say in English. Where every- thing once began. Small alleyways, cobbled streets, this island is home to the Royal Palace. As we wander the streets the history we will listen to stories and legends that make the Old Town come alive!
