4.Bloody Stockholm 2h – ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 14 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) Top rated

Walk from Stortorget through Gamla Stan to Saint Jacob’s Church with a guide such as Jonathan or Åsa. Expect executions, curses, trolls, iron protection, water spirits, undead children, and dark Swedish folklore in English. The route lasts about 90 minutes, though guides may sometimes run longer.

“Vår guide Åsa var otroligt kunnig och engagerad. Att ha en egen guide på 3 personer gjorde upplevelsen så mycket bättre än att gå i stor grupp. Vi fick reda på mycket fakta om gamla stan och många spännande historier berättades. Vår 10 åring tyckte det var spännande, intressant och lärorikt.”
