Do you want to take a guided tour of Stockholm and experience the City Hall, the Royal Palace, and other famous sights? Hear about thrilling historical moments in Old Town? Maybe explore cozy alleys in Södermalm that you didn’t know existed? Or why not take a bike ride in Stockholm’s magnificent nature that ends with a forest bath? Then you should come along with VerdeVerde Travel.

Behind VerdeVerde Travel is Stefan Maurbakken, an authorized Stockholm guide specializing in green and sustainable city walks. The name comes from the Italian ‘verde’, which means green, and Italy has also been Stefan’s home for 25 years before he returned to Stockholm. Since 2017, he has offered exciting city walks all year round on Stockholm’s 14 islands.

His offer includes more than 30 different tours on a rolling schedule – a range that few other guides can match. You can go on a tour in the central districts such as Djurgården, Östermalm, and Kungsholmen as well as areas outside the city, for example, Nacka, Hjorthagen, and Enskede. Experience sights, exciting buildings, parks, history, and of course the city’s fantastic views. And if you’re in the mood for something else than a city walk, you can also join relaxing nature walks and wonderful bike rides (which can also include forest baths) in Stockholm’s surroundings. The guidings are done in Swedish, English, and Italian.

By going on an organized city walk with a knowledgeable and personal guide, you get a more profound experience of Stockholm than if you were to explore the city on your own. You have time to see more, learn more, you get unique memories and the opportunity to visit places you might not have come to otherwise. The fact that you also get fresh air, exercise, and new friends makes it even better.

Whether you’re a visiting tourist or a native Stockholmer, there’s always something to discover. Therefore, a city walk with VerdeVerde Travel is perfect for both a vacation and a staycation. Among those who live in Stockholm and want to explore their home town, Skogskyrkogården is most popular, while the famous sights often attract visitors from outside. Besides scheduled city walks, you can also book a private guided tour to, for example, celebrate a birthday or as a fun activity with friends and family. Companies, both large and small, can book private city walks or sightseeing as well.

When you take a city walk with Stefan, you’ll notice that he really loves his job. With solid research and a great interest in history and Stockholm, he offers you everything from interesting city history lessons to captivating anecdotes about famous Stockholm profiles. And of course a lot of fantastic views in Sweden’s beautiful capital. Stefan’s personal commitment shines through, and he makes sure that each participant feels seen and welcomed.

VerdeVerde Travel is a company that cherishes nature, and it shows. Green thinking with a focus on sustainability permeates the entire business. In addition to the range of walks, everything from the color of the clothes to the means of transport (walking, cycling, and public transport) follows the green theme. All for a more sustainable Stockholm.
