Stockholm: Guided tour in the remains of the Blackfriars Monastery

Step into the medieval heart of Stockholm on an exclusive guided walk that reveals the city’s dramatic origins. We begin in the winding alleys of Gamla stan, where you’ll see how the Dominican Blackfriars’ monastery once stretched across the neighborhood and hear stories of the power, faith, and intrigue that shaped Sweden’s capital. 

The highlight of the tour is an exclusive descent into the preserved cellar vaults of the monastery – spaces normally closed to the public. Here, travelers once slept by the hearths, and pilgrims came from across the Nordic countries to see Helga Lösen, the magnificent gilded silver altarpiece depicting the descent of Christ from the cross. 

This is more than a tour of hidden cellars: it is a journey through the rise of medieval Stockholm, guided by experts who bring to life tales of devotion, miracles, and political struggle. Perfect for history lovers – and for anyone fascinated by secret places and medieval mysteries. 

An experience you won’t find anywhere else.
