With your 24 hour access you will be able to uncover chilling tales, forgotten history, and the eerie atmosphere that only appears after dark.

Itinerary

Royal Palace

15 min

Already at the end of the 10th century, Vikings built a pile barrier at this site, and in the 12th century, a defensive fort stood here. In the mid-13th century, it developed into a medieval castle with a curtain wall, courtyard, and several buildings—Stockholm Palace. From 1588, it was called "Tre Kronor" (Three Crowns). On May 7, 1697, the Great Palace Fire occurred, and the old Tre Kronor castle was completely destroyed...
Stortorget

15 min

This is the most central place in the Old Town, and it has been Stockholm's focal point since ancient times. This was where people met and where trade was conducted. In 1563, it was decreed that all trade should be conducted at Stortorget rather than in the smaller squares around the city. But this square was known for more than just commerce; executions were also carried out here.
Stop 3

Inside here resides Stockholm's oldest ghost, a black monk of the Benedictine Order named Gideon. This house is built on the walls of the old Greyfriars Monastery. Walls and vaults from the 1200s are still preserved in the basement and on the first floor...
The Royal Swedish Opera

15 min

Gustaf III was king from 1771 to 1792. He abolished torture, established freedom of the press, and improved public health care.

Stop 5

15 min

Riddarholmen Church was originally built as a Catholic monastery church for the Greyfriars Monastery, consecrated around the year 1300. In 1382, a murder took place right in front of the high altar...
Stop 6

15 min

Living in Stockholm during the early 1700s, with ongoing wars, shortages, and diseases, was very taxing.

Inside the city, churches did not have their own burial grounds. The German Parish had no burial ground of its own, and even the wealthiest members had trouble buying a spot...
