The Original Stockholm Ghost Walk and Historical Tour

Stockholm, Sweden

When Stockholm's museums have locked their ancient doors, when the stores are all closed and people have retreated to the safety of their homes, this is when the empty streets of Stockholm's Old Town are handed over to the spirits, vampires and to us. Stockholm's past will come to life on this 2hour walking tour.

As the evening closes in, your experienced ghost-guide will light his lantern and lead you through a maze of forgotten courtyards, deserted alleyways and empty cobble-streets in search of the places where history meets mystery. Not only will you hear true accounts of ghosts, poltergeists and haunted places but also of murders, unsolved mysteries, myths and legends. Is your stomach strong enough for tales of disease and of public executions? On your tour, you will even have the chance to taste, as well as smell, medieval Stockholm as your guide brings the past back to life.

Sensible, comfortable walking shoes are a must and remember to wrap-up extra warm between November and March. The haunting don't stop for bad weather and neither do we. Parental discretion is advised for children under the ages of 8.

Great fun! The guides really get into the history of the old town and it was truly entertaining to listen to.

I have enjoyed the tour, the guide spoke good english and was also funny in a scary way. The places we visited were covering a big part of the old town and was a nice way to start to visit it. I would recommend this tour to people who like the details of History that are bloody and creepy but that also enjoy visiting places where real events took place.!

This had to be the most fun I had in Stockholm. Our guide was quite a character--we had a great tour of the old town and lots of scary stories. Worth every penny and more.

The ghost tour was excellent! Would highly recommend it to anyone. Had a great time and learned a lot about the history of Stockholm in the day.

Tour guide was wonderful, tour itself was not really a ghost tour, more of a historical tour of the dark side of Stockholm's past.

The Ghost Walk and Historical Tour provided a great overview of the city. Our guide, Sandra, was extremely entertaining. Her personality and enthusiasm really made this a successful excursion.

The ghost tour was quite different from the usual historical tours. The guide was a quite good actor. The temperature could have been a bit higher, though!

It was very interesting and the guide was entertaining. A warning about sturdy footwear should be included for the cobblestones, though!

Review by: Thomas Z, Sweden	July 2009
The walk featured not only ghosts and the supernatural, but also interesting historic events that occurred in Stockholm. Our guide is one of the most-talented story tellers I have ever met and he managed to fill the tour with suspense and atmosphere. His stories about Kristian II, the Black Death and the plague in Stockholm, Lasse Lucidor, and Captain Ankarstrm will stick in your head long after the tour, because they are so well told. Absolutely worth doing, but preferably in winter when it's dark or on rainy days.

This tour was a must for anyone visiting Stockholm. Along with some interesting and spooky ghost stories, we also learned a lot of history of the original area of Stockholm and got to see some areas of the city that we never would have gotten to see. The tour guide was very animated and totally riveting. His enthusiasm is addictive. It was one of my favorite things that we did in the city.

Fully enjoyable, so much so that I plan to do this again in the winter when it's darker - and perhaps scarier.
