A guided Viking tour through beautiful landscapes around Stockholm, visiting historic settlements where you can feel and see the history of the Vikings.

We drive north to an area called Vallentuna where an old Viking Bridge named Jarlabankes bro is to be found. In this area there are many runic stones, one in the name of the Viking Jarlabanke himself that proudly tells that he built the bridge in the name of Christianity. 

Next we stop at an old Viking parliament, Arkils Tingplats and visit the 12th century Vallentuna church, used as a hiding place in times of danger, surrounded by several runic stones.
We continue to the Granby ruins where, in a dugout in 1989, traces from ten Viking houses were found. In the area you also find runic inscriptions on the mountain floors, the biggest in the Uppland area.

We drive on to Vira Bruk which is an old weapon factory from 1635 A.D. The factory was in use until the mid 20th century but is now a museum. The tour continues to Finsta where Saint Birgitta, founder of the Brigittine Order, was born in 1303 A.D.  Birgitta was married at the early age of 13 and had 8 children. Along with the hard role as a mother she was working for the king and queen; she was influential in the royal politics and was one of only a handful of contemporary women pilgrims.

We pass Mora Stenar, the Royal Crowning stones from around 1200 A.D. on our way to the Old Uppsala, probably the most historic place in Sweden because of the old Viking parliament and the Mounds. According to old Swedish mythology it was the Viking gods Oden, Tor and Frej that made these mounds although recent research has produced other theories.

The last stop is at Sigtuna which was an important trading place first settled in 980 A.D. Here the grounds of Sweden as a nation under God and with only one king was set.
