Additional Information

Join a public tour and delve into the German elements of Old Town, while learning about the German cathedral. Discover the extensive influence Germany wielded on Stockholm and Sweden during the middle ages and the reformation. This impact extends to the significant contribution from German to the modern Swedish language. By 1350, half of Stockholm’s inhabitants were Germans, who predominantly served as artisans or merchants. Some have etched their mark in history with the grand marriage scandal in the early 15th Century, which entangled even the Archbishop. More recent links include Swedish traditions like the maypole, advent lights, and the Christmas tree. Embark on a city walk through Old Town and uncover both renowned and hidden attractions.
