Find your way to Stortorget, Stockholm's original town square located in the heart of Gamla Stan (Old Town). Meet your guide and group and embark on an exploration of the area where Stockholm was founded.
Dating back to the 13th century, Gamla Stan was the original site of what is now the modern, cosmopolitan city of Stockholm. Learn about the city's founder, Birger Jarl, as you wander among the North German-style buildings and narrow cobbled streets.
