Stockholm History Tour

From the Vikings to Big Tech

How did Stockholm go from Viking territory to one of the world’s most influential tech cities?

During Nordic Tech Week, we’re taking you beyond the conference rooms and onto the streets of Stockholm for a free guided walking tour through the city’s history.

Walk through centuries of Stockholm and discover the people, places and ideas that shaped the city, from Vikings and kings to trade, industry, innovation and the rise of companies that changed the world.

Along the way, we’ll explore how Stockholm became the city it is today and connect its past to the tech ecosystem being built here now.

Whether you’re visiting Stockholm for Nordic Tech Week or have lived here for years, come see the city from a different perspective.
