A great way to explore Gamla Stan! During the entire walk we experienced rain which only added to the overall vibe, so don't be dissappointed in advance if the forecast calls for umbrellas. Our tour guide, Cody, fits perfectly into his role! With a mixture of humour and grim history, an hour and a half flew by. I heavily recommend the dinner addition at the ex-prison restaurant.
