Legends & Ghosts of Gamla Stan: Night Walking Tour in Stockholm - Ghost_tour_Stockholm1.jpg

When night falls, Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, transforms into a place of mystery and legend. Join your local guide and explore hidden alleys, quiet courtyards, and ancient landmarks while hearing stories that bring the city’s dark history to life.

Follow your guide through narrow cobblestone streets that most tourists never find. Along the way, you’ll learn about public executions, deadly plagues, haunting poltergeists, and medieval murders that still echo through these historic streets.

From Viking-age rune stones to chilling tales of Stockholm’s bloodiest night, this experience will take you beyond the history books — into the secrets, myths, and legends that shaped Sweden’s capital.

Depending on the season, the hour of darkness varies — in summer, twilight comes later, while in winter it gets dark early, check with your host to find the suitable starting time.

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each one with a different background ranging from arts to history. They can't wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you! Feel like changing the route a bit? No problem, the hosts will be happy to personalize the tour to your wishes and make their city your city!
