Dive into an unforgettable adventure through Stockholm with a host revealing some best-kept secrets. Perfect for exploring the city with a local touch
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Ready for a whirlwind adventure through Stockholm? We're talking jaw-dropping views, fascinating history, and scrumptious Swedish eats, all guided by your savvy local host. I love Stockholm - the sights, the sounds, the smell of cool, fresh air. It's such an inviting city. So, let's dive right in!
Your escapade starts at Mariatorget Park, where you'll meet your host by the Emanuel Swedenborg statue. From here, you're off to the Monteveliusvagen viewpoint. Imagine strolling through picturesque streets, each corner revealing a bit more of Stockholm's charm. When you reach the viewpoint, get ready for a panorama that's pure eye candy. The city's skyline sprawls out before you – it's like a postcard come to life, and your host will spill all the best spots for those envy-inducing snaps.
Next, hop on the Djurgarden Ferry. This isn't your average boat ride; it's a mini-cruise through the heart of Stockholm's stunning waterways. Feel the cool breeze as you sail past charming islands and historic buildings. Your host will dish out fun tidbits about the city's maritime heritage, making this ferry ride a floating history lesson with views to die for.
Land ahoy at Djurgarden island! Your first stop here is Skansen, the world's oldest open-air museum. It's like stepping into a time machine. Wander through quaint, traditional Swedish homes and farms, complete with costumed characters who bring history to life. Watch glassblowers in action, see bakers whipping up treats in old-timey kitchens, and maybe even pet some friendly farm animals (my favorite activity - they're so cute). It's history with a hearty dash of fun!
Then, prepare to be awestruck at the Vasa Museum. This place is home to the Vasa, an almost fully intact 17th-century warship. Imagine a colossal ship that's more than three centuries old, with its ornate carvings and towering masts. Your host will weave tales of its ill-fated voyage and the incredible salvage operation that brought it back from the depths. It's a story that's as epic as the ship itself.
After all that exploring, your stomach will be rumbling, and Restaurant Blå Porten is the perfect remedy. Tucked away in a lush garden, this charming spot serves up classic Swedish fare that's as tasty as it is beautiful. Think fresh seafood, hearty meat dishes, and pastries that are pure bliss. The cozy ambiance and scenic setting make it the ideal spot to unwind and savor every bite.
Throughout the day, your local host is your personal Stockholm guru, sharing insider secrets and hidden gems that you'd never find on your own.
So, gear up for a day packed with discovery, culture, and a whole lot of fun. With your local host leading the way, you're in for an unforgettable journey through the heart of Stockholm. So go make some memories and come tell me all about them!

Show moreImagine you had a good friend who happened to be an expert on Stockholm's history and culture. Your friend then joins you for four hours on your vacation in Stockholm to take you around and make sure you know all the points of interest, local customs and things to do during the rest of your stay. That was exactly our experience with Zenid from City Unscripted. He was friendly, engaging and super-informative. From the history of Stockholm's formation to modern-day events, Zenid shared with us the behind-the-scenes details of Stockholm that allowed us to really get to know the city. The details included hidden surprises in the historic Gamla Stan, to the interesting facts surrounding the bank robbery that led to the term “Stockholm Syndrome”. After our tour he sent us a long list of restaurants to try, bars to visit and local spots to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Stockholm, and Zenid was a big part of the reason why.
