ID-021-VV - historic-Södermalm

Close your eyes and envision a place where people brew their own beer. Where the responsibilities of the day for some means getting a coffee and taking their kid in their vintage carrier to Nytorget Square to meet fellow latte mammas and sourdough papas. Open your eyes to reveal Södermalm, aka "Hipster Island", where this is the reality. Come experience the most bohemian part of Stockholm with a touch of bygone times with our tour Hipstoric Södermalm!

We'll set off on our hipstoric (where hipster meets historic) venture from the square Södermalmstorg, beginning with a short hike up the main shopping street of Södermalm, Götgatan. Along the way, we will journey through executions, breathtaking views, the life of the working class, and hidden gems. Did we mention that Södermalm made the list for the top 15 coolest neighbourhoods in the world?! Surely you wouldn't want to miss that!

id-020-vv city walk- tour

Long ago, there was a quaint district with cosy, old buildings lining the streets. City-folk rushed down the cobblestoned streets on their way to and from work while mouthwatering smells drifted out the doors of bakehouses. Today nothing of this neighbourhood reminiscent of the Old Town exists. Instead, we have a contemporary city-centre with high-rises and a patchwork of bustling city streets.

On our Stockholm City Walk, we'll discover why this district was modernised and who calls this home today. We will meander our way through the city centre, taking in highlights such as the Stockholm Concert Hall, home of the Nobel Prize Giving Ceremony. Norrmalmstorg, where the term Stockholm Syndrome was coined, and the Royal Dramatic Theatre, where legendary Swedish actors like Skarsgård galavant across one of the theatre's many stages.

ID 085 VV vigland park

Stepping off the tram in Oslo, we arrive in the area of Frogner, where we are greeted by the grand gates of the Vigeland Park. Imagine one man, hundreds of sculptures, over 200, in bronze, granite and cast iron; it’s the largest sculpture park in the world. 

How is it possible, you ask? The magic of Gustav Vigeland, one of Norway’s most appreciated sculptors. We’ll share his enchanting story as we move through the park and take in the many sculptures representing the cycle of human life and all its emotions, from The Bridge and The Angry Boy to The Monolith and The Wheel of Life. We promise you won’t be disappointed. The park is jaw-dropping!

ID 082 VV Medieval Oslo

Are you looking for an off the beaten track adventure in Oslo? Great news! Your hunt ends here. The medieval town of Oslo burned down in 1624, causing the city to be rebuilt many miles away. Thankfully, archaeological evidence from the city's first site can still be seen today. Beginning with the remains of a medieval church, our tour of East Oslo will bring you on a journey following the footprints of the people who helped rebuild what was turned to ashes 400 years ago. Hear the story of a cemetery known for being the resting place of hundreds of seamen and see a 500-year-old hospital that saw an epic battle against the Swedish army. We'll even throw in some Vikings too! To top it off we've include the tale of a world-famous Norwegian artist who in this area found inspiration for his most prized work, can you guess whom?
