THE SECRET WAR IN STOCKHOLM
During the Second World War, Stockholm was not a neutral capital.
It was one of Europe’s most active centres of espionage.
On this tour, you will step into the hidden reality behind the façades of Östermalm – where diplomats, agents and covert networks operated in the shadows.
You will visit the actual locations where this activity took place – including one of the most conspiratorial sites in the history of the world.
You will also gain a deeper understanding of Sweden’s role in the war, beyond the simplified version often presented.
This is where the term
“The Casablanca of the North” comes from.
📍 Meeting point: Outside the entrance of Grand Hôtel
Södra Blasieholmshamnen 8

Swedish Spy Museum Projekt is a non-profit project around creating an intelligence history museum in Sweden, a “Swedish Spy Museum”. Our subsidiary is Swedish Spy Tours which specializes in city walks and other events.
Our insider guides take you through stories of spies, agents and secret and covert activities in Sweden throughout history, where we put these in their historical context
Until our project with a physical museum can be realized, we organize lectures and, on the other hand, during the summer months, various “Spion” hikes.
Our spy tours take place in historically interesting areas of intelligence, currently only within Stockholm County, but other hikes may come later.
The walks vary in length but usually last between 2½ to 3½ hours depending on the extent of the hike and the guest's involvement. For more specific information, click the book button under our respective events
Of course, both customized hikes and lectures are offered. For more information, please contact Johan by email: [johan@swedishspymuseum.se](mailto: johan@swedishspymuseum.se) or by phone: 073-730 94 99
