Stockholm City Museum is at Ryssgården in Slussen, in a 17th-century palace. It covers Stockholm’s development from a small medieval harbour town to today’s multicultural metropolis, tracing the city from its medieval beginnings to the present.

Visitors can also take the museum’s self-guided Stockholm 1793 City Walk. Based on Swedish author Niklas Natt och Dag’s book series, the route leads to places and events from all three books. It also gives in-depth information about life in late-18th-century Stockholm. The walk starts at the City Museum, where its map is sold, and is available in Swedish and English editions.

The museum’s broad account of the city’s history and the walk’s focus on one period offer different ways to explore Stockholm’s past. The walk centres on 1793 and late-18th-century life, while the museum follows change from medieval origins to the present. The museum’s address is Ryssgården, Slussen, 116 46 Stockholm.
