Stockholm Private Guided Tours
Why Stockholm is the perfect city for private guided tours
Stockholm is home to OURWAY Tours, and whoever you are, you’ll discover that ‘welcome home’ vibe, too. We’re not making any assumptions about what you like or what you are like—simply put, Stockholm is so well-balanced in all areas of lifestyle, culture, and geography that it’s easy to fall in love with (and in) Sweden’s inclusive capital.
Do you like being by the water? Do you prefer grand green spaces? Or perhaps you like being surrounded by beautifully modern and handsomely historic architecture? Stockholm has it all!
Stockholm’s nickname of ‘Venice of the North’ is no exaggeration – the canals and picturesque waterways are a delight to the eye and ear; the lapping water soundscape complements the views across the 57 bridges connecting the 14 islands of the city. In warmer months, taking a dip in whatever body of water takes your fancy is possible; from the freshwater of Lake Mälaren to the salty Baltic, you’re sure to discover a place to make a splash.
Whilst the water winds through the city, green nature is in abundance, with gorgeous spaces flourishing, making up over 30% of the city, most of which are woods and forests. No wonder Stockholm’s beauty and air quality helped it win the European Green Capital Award 2010!
With so much green and blue, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re not in a city at all. Yet, Stockholm’s streets are a wonder in themselves. The city has been spared from modern warfare, which has produced a clean, well-kept and distinctive city to roam around. Yet its medieval past is visible when you look in the right places (we can show you if you like; it’s part of our job, after all!) while diversity and innovation have always thrived in Stockholm’s streets.
Founded in the 1200s and once a key trading hub, Stockholm has been shaped and influenced by fashionable trends and has been a trendsetter in design, proudly embracing all types of artists. It also inspires with its sense of industry, as Stockholm is a thriving business centre with start-ups, scale-ups, and established international companies across various sectors (the Swedes are not just known for affordable furniture!). That rich diversity and deep history are exactly why exploring the city with a local makes all the difference.
