Meet your guide for a 5-hour Best of Stockholm Private Tour with Vasa Museum & City Hall Visit – The highlight of the tour is a visit to the City Hall and its famous Blue Hall, where the Nobel Prize banquet is held.
Tour begins with a panoramic drive through the city center. A scenic drive next brings us to Stadshuset, Stockholm’s City Hall, where you take a guided walk through this massive, fortress-like red brick structure. The building is known for its tower whose cupola is topped with the three golden crowns of historic Sweden – the national coat of arms. Here you make our way to the Blue Hall, scene of the annual Nobel Award banquet, and the Golden Hall, with its 18 million gold mosaic tiles that illustrate Swedish history. Before departing, you take a short break to shop for souvenirs and gifts that commemorate City Hall and Stockholm.
Continue on to Gamla Stan, the Old Town, where Stockholm began over eight centuries ago. On this brief, guided walking tour, you can savor the romantic atmosphere and sense the antiquity of the 16th- to 19th-century buildings, baroque doorways, and regal coats of arms. You will see the Stortorget – the square that serves as the hub of the Old Town, and the old Stock Exchange, now the home of the Nobel Museum and the Swedish Academy.
You then drive to the neighboring island of Djurgården, known as Stockholm’s outdoor recreation center, and such historic sites as the National Museum and the Royal Dramatic Theater.
Continue with a visit to the Vasa Museum, built specifically to house the Vasa, the oldest fully-preserved ship in the world. On her maiden voyage in 1628, the warship had been sailing for less than 20 minutes before the wind caught her sails and toppled her. Over three centuries later, in 1961, she was finally raised from the mud of Stockholm harbor, along with 12,000 accompanying artifacts. You will explore the museum’s other exhibits and displays of historic items recovered from the harbor.
The tour concludes with a drive back to your hotel.
