Essential Swedish Lapland

This morning, your guide will meet you in your hotel lobby for a visit to Gamla Stan (Old Town) to explore the narrow winding streets and historic buildings. 

You will also find Tyska Kyrkan, in Old Town. The church is referred to as the “German Church” as it was created for German merchants who had settled in the area. The church’s bells can be heard ringing though Old Town numerous times a day.

During your walk, you will pass by Riddarhust, the House of Nobility, dating back to the 17th century which now houses the records of the Swedish Nobility as well as the Royal Palace and Royal Armoury- an award-winning museum situated in an atmospheric cellar vault beneath the Royal Palace

Continue onto Djurgården, a natural resort in the heart of Stockholm, where you will visit the Vasa Museum. The Vasa, perhaps the grandest and most ambitious ship ever to be built in Sweden, is the city’s prized treasure. She capsized and sank straight to the bottom on her maiden voyage in the 17th century only to be salvaged nearly 333 years later in 1961.
