When Stockholm's museums have locked their ancient doors, when the stores are all closed and people have retreated to the safety of their homes, this is when the empty streets of Stockholm's Old Town are handed over to the spirits, vampires and to us. Stockholm's past will come to life on this 2hour walking tour.

As the evening closes in, your experienced ghost-guide will light his lantern and lead you through a maze of forgotten courtyards, deserted alleyways and empty cobble-streets in search of the places where history meets mystery. Not only will you hear true accounts of ghosts, poltergeists and haunted places but also of murders, unsolved mysteries, myths and legends. Is your stomach strong enough for tales of disease and of public executions? On your tour, you will even have the chance to taste, as well as smell, medieval Stockholm as your guide brings the past back to life.

Each tour includes a refreshment break in a haunted location, a welcome chance to shelter from the shadows and secrets that lurk on the dark streets above. However, how much have we jumped from the frying pan into the fire? Who knows what or who we may find down there!

Sensible, comfortable walking shoes are a must and remember to wrap-up extra warm between November and March. The hauntings don't stop for bad weather and neither do we. Parental discretion is advised for children under the ages of 8.
