Free Walking Tours Stockholm | 10 Free Tour Options

There are 4 types of free walking tours available in Stockholm, Sweden, including Old Town (Gamla Stan), New Town, alternative Södermalm, as well as ghost tours.

We let you know about your options, provide schedules, and explain what you will see on each tour.

And in the video above, Emma, a guide with Free Tours by Foot Stockholm takes you on a virtual walk through Gamla Stan, the well-preserved medieval old town of Stockholm, Sweden, all with a wonderful backdrop of some light snow.

OVERVIEW AND CALENDAR

Stockholm, Sweden is a very walking city. Its historic center, Gamla Stan, is barely a kilometer wide.

And because its streets are too narrow for buses, it's a great place for a walking tour.

For most people today, a "free tour" is really a "pay-what-you-wish tour" or a "tips-based tour". 

There is no cost to book your spots and you are under no obligation to pay anything for your experience.

At the end of the tour, if you enjoyed yourself, it's customary to pay what you think the tour was really worth or what you could afford.

You could pay for your free tour with cash, but most tour guides can accept payment by credit card or through payment apps, like PayPal, CashApp, etc.

Keep in mind, however, that these free walking tours can have quite large groups of participants.

If you'd rather have the guarantee of a smaller group - which can allow you more interaction with your guide - you might consider taking a paid small group tour .

For a truly free option, check out our suggestions for self-guided walks .

And look out for our tours in Helsinki and Tallinn.

FREE TOUR OF GAMLA STAN (OLD TOWN STOCKHOLM)

There are several companies that offer free (pay-what-you-wish) walking tours in Gamla Stan, the historic core of Stockholm.

As you might expect, this is one of the oldest areas in the city and it’s full of historic locations. It's one of Europe's most historic city centers.

If you want to learn about Swedish history and Stockholm’s past, these tours are a great place to start!

Gamla Stan, also known as the Old Town, is a medieval haven that stands as a testament to historical events. Over the centuries, Gamla Stan has been remarkably well-preserved. But why is its narrowest street just 90 cm wide?

What are the meanings behind the enigmatic metal house signs? And why doesn’t the King of Sweden wear a crown?
