1000 years in 100 minutes - UNESCO World Heritage of Falun

Falun grow up as a town around the largest and most importan copper mine in Europe in the 15-1600's. This World Heritage city has lots to offer: splendid architecture, quaint small cottages where the miners lived, stories that span 1000 years, world famous scientists, authors and a very rich culture heritage.
You will learn why we have so many red houses in the country, what is the most traditional evening meal and what are our symbols.
During our walk all this and more will come to live!

About Tour Guide Anna-lena S.
Welcome to Stockholm - my hometown!
Join me for a guided walk through narrow alleys and on quaint cobble stones in Old Town or a visit to one of our many museums, the Royal Palace, the City Hall, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Drottningholm Palace or the Vasa Museum.
We talk about the history, the architecture, the art but also todays culture and life.
Let me open up the doors to my country, the culture and the history on our walks. My roots are in the country side, the province of Dalarna, where I am a qualified tourist guide. This is where one of the symbols of Sweden is made, the Dalahorse. Or why not join me to Skansen Park in Stockholm and hear about old and new traditions from Dalarna and other parts. I am a qualified tourist guide in Stockholm as well.

“Stockholm City Tour”
We had an absolutely fantastic time on our Stockholm city tour, all thanks to Anna-Lena! She was incredibly charming and knowledgeable, making the entire experience delightful and memorable. Her enthusiasm and passion for the city were contagious, and we all learned so much. Anna-Lena’s attention to detail and her warm personality made our tour special. We would love to have her as our guide again on our next visit. Highly recommended!
