The Royal Swedish Opera, Stockholm, Sweden The Royal Swedish Opera is Sweden’s national theatre for opera and ballet. It has served in that role since January 18, 1773, when the first performance was given at the Royal Opera. A couple of years prior to that, in 1771, King Gustav III had fired the French opera troupe that had been performing at Bollhuset by Slottsbacken in Stockholm for 20 years or so. This was due to his wish to form a Swedish ensemble that could put on Swedish operas.
The Swedish troupe continued performing in Bollhuset until a new Opera House was completed in 1782 and the ensemble was able to move in.

After some initial meetings, parliament came to be represented through the Four Estates, which consisted of representatives from nobility, clergy, burghers, and peasants.

Jarnpojken, Stockholm, Sweden The sculpture was created in 1954 by the Swedish artist Liss Eriksson, but was inaugurated at this point only in 1967.

Österlånggatan 51, 111 31 Stockholm, Sweden Den Gyldene Freden—translated as 'The Golden Peace'—was first opened way back in 1722.

It has not moved from its original location since then, which gives it an air of real importance and wonder.

Järntorget, 111 29 Stockholm, Sweden The second oldest square in Stockholm, slightly younger than Stortorget, Järntorget dates back to around 1300 and remained the city's most important trade centre for centuries — constantly busy and crowded, scents and noise intermixing while goods were transported from shore to shore across the square and up and down the attics of the surrounding buildings.

Tyska stallplan, Prästgatan 78, 111 29 Stockholm, Sweden By the street are the public library and the major school (Storkyrkoskolan, "School of the Great Church") of the told town. While named a square, it undoubtedly remains a matter of taste and definition whether this elongated open space should be regarded as a street.

I can't say anything about the tour itself. We didn't even manage to start this game. Something was always wrong. Either the email or the booking number. Much was not well declared what exactly is needed by one. I don't understand why you still have to register so much and so and so. Surely this is better and easier in this day and age.

This experience was surprisingly delightful. Ages of participants: 40 something, 70 something, 14, 11, and 7. We are staying in Old Town and were looking for something time flexible and informative that covered the highlights in Gamla Stan while also keeping the kids engaged. This experience fit the bill for our family. With the generous price point compared to every other tour, my expectations were so low that if we decided to opt out all together, I wouldn't have minded...but my kids were actually interested and were eager to move from point to point and take on each challenge. We took our time at each stop to learn about the location before moving on. We also realized we'd been walking past cool little alleyways not realizing their existence until the experience took us through them. So cool. We really had a great time.
So why 4 stars? It took us a bit to get the app situated on the kids' (11 y/o and 14 y/o) phones. You pay for the adults participating and kids are free, so I paid for 2 adults, however, at the time of purchase I did not know that you could only use 2 devices to follow along at any given moment. I thought each family member could follow along in the app. Not so. You pay for 2 tickets, you may only participate on 2 devices. The activity was intended for the kids so I opened it on their phones. As a result, there was not much adult oversight when navigating from one location to the next, leading to lots of backtracking. It was funny until Grandma started getting tired. So the number of participants in the app was a bit of a bummer because I didn't know the restriction when we were trying to get everyone up and running. Once we got going, all was good.

It was quite fun. We played it as two people. Even though we visited Stockholm old town many times, we noticed new details and learned interesting facts about the city and its history! I will try it in other cities as well.
