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.
