This self-guided audio tour takes you through the cobbled streets of a medieval settlement that became a democratic monarchy. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Stockholm.
The cobbled streets of Stockholm’s old town, Gamla Stan, are layered with history. They tell the story of how the city became a medieval settlement forced through climate changes, a transit point for merchants heading to the eastern Baltic Sea, following the earlier Viking's routes. On this walk I’ll introduce you to the fascinating old town that has attracted travelers for centuries.
As you walk through the narrow streets of Gamla Stan, I’ll point out the four islands that form this area. You’ll hear about the people who shaped the city, such as Birger Jarl and Gustav Vasa. On this circular tour, I’ll tell you about the current monarchy and its origins. You’ll hear about how the city transformed from a liberated nation to a European powerhouse and, finally, a democratic monarchy.

- Review from Tripadvisor
This is a disorganized way to experience the historic and architectural facts as the audio was not working well with the map which kept misdirecting me into big circles when I would try to find the corners of where some of the buildings were. I was not able to find the true beginning of the street that was the begining of the audio. I was so disappointed at the time it took me to download so many things to be able to use it. Then, my phone battery just simply started getting too low.
