A mysterious tour of Stockholm's hidden sides...

Join us on a story-telling walk through Vasastan, where myths and reality go side by side. We move from the heights of Drottninggatan, past the Ghost Castle, windmills, observatories and brewery quarters — places where the city's history still remains in the ground.

This is a journey about people and environments, about everyday life and visions, about what has been visible and what has been whispered into the shadows.

This tour is a must for those who appreciate Stockholm's history and mystery!

What's included

  • Strong stories about Stockholm of the time that feel unreal.
  • Stop by the Ghost Castle on Drottninggatan and listen to its mysterious history.
  • Get a new perspective on Stockholm. You've probably wandered these places before but never thought about its historical context.
  • Learn about life in Stockholm of the time.
  • The tour is led by an authorized Stockholm guide with high demands on storytelling, service and experience.

**What happens during the hike? **
For about 90 minutes you will be guided through a Vasastan that is shaped by both everyday life and visions. The walk offers stories of people who have lived here, about the city's landscape and how the area has changed over time — from windmills and breweries to widows' houses and observatories.

The guide puts myths and legends in their historical context, giving space to both the big features and the small details that make the city's history come alive. The pace is leisurely, with several pauses for reflection and conversation, making the experience both accessible and immersive.
