Visit Stockholm lists Stortorget as the location for its Old Town and Riddarholmen walking tour. The route is described as going through Stockholm’s historical heart and visiting the Royal Palace, the narrowest alley, and St George and the Dragon. The walk also includes Riddarholmen, where the listing says visitors can see Lake Mälaren and the city’s lakeside.

A Swedish-language Visit Stockholm listing under the name Stockholm Möts describes an interactive headphone walk through Stockholm’s LGBTQ history. It covers an apartment where visiting trans people were welcomed in the 1970s, the names and locations of queer clubs in the 1990s, and traces left by a Pride parade.

The city’s English and Swedish listings describe different formats and subjects: one is a walking tour of historic sights, the other a headphone walk about LGBTQ history. Check that the title matches the experience you want. Visit Stockholm gives no price, departure time, or duration for either description.
