Stockholm Private Walking Tour

What your day looks like

Often called the "Venice of the North", Stockholm lies on a number of islands and peninsulas at the outflow of Lake Mälar into the Baltic, which forms a deep inlet. The charm of its setting lies in the intermingling of land and water; the skerries fringing the coast, the crags rearing up from the sea, the intricate pattern of waterways encompassing the city.
