Must see Stockholm with a local
See some of Stockholm's top sites in a day, from the Old Town to the Ostermalm Saluhall and a sprinkle of hidden gems on an experience tailored to you
What makes this experience special
Key highlights

- Tick off attractions from your ‘must see’ famous sites list, or if you don’t have such a list, let your host recommend one
- Get recommendations on Swedish delicacies for lunch at a place that’s loved by locals or give your feet a break and stop for fika, although we’d recommend doing both
- Soak up the history of the city by chatting to locals or engaging your host in conversation
- Get tips from your host (over a beer, perhaps) for the rest of your stay in Stockholm

How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
We know, we know. You couldn’t see all of Stockholm’s must-sees in a day, but with one of our local Stockholm hosts with you, you’ll make a good go of it! Maybe you’ve got a list of the places you can’t wait to see (hand it over), or perhaps you’d like a local’s take on what’s unmissable in their city - just let us know which you’d prefer.
Can you see yourself visiting the Royal Palace, exploring Gamla Stan, or even stopping by the ABBA museum? All things are possible! Or maybe you could do some island hopping - we’d recommend leafy Djurgården, an island known for its stately homes, and the astounding Vasa Museum, where you can see a fully intact 17th-century ship.
We’d never deprive you of good food, especially when there are farmers’ markets to explore, fika (complete with cinnamon buns) to be enjoyed, and delights like smoked salmon and meatballs to try! Just let your host know what you’re in the mood for, and they’ll take you somewhere to suit. The day is yours; we’re just here to make it happen.

We had the most wonderful morning walking with Sari! She was informative and flexible and shared stories that appealed to our entire family. We appreciated her flexibility and suggestions of what to see, where to eat, and which attractions to visit based on our interests. It was the best introduction to our stay in Stockholm!

It was our first time in Stockholm. We stayed in Old Town and, of course, booked a tour of the area. Sari was knowledgeable, personal and fun to be around. With her guidance we had a wonderful time exploring the city.

I had an amazing time with Sofia! Since I already hit some of the prime sites, we took a drive around to see different islands and things off the beaten path. We then walked around her neighborhood, chatting and sharing stories. What a wonderful way to connect with another person and culture. She gave me recommendations for some extra gifts, took me to her favorite coffee shop, and even met her sweet dog! Very happy with my experience today.
