Gourmet Tour - Gastronomy Wonders And Viking Culture

OVERVIEW

Dine on classic Swedish dishes at a traditional restaurant and delve into Sweden’s intriguing past, especially the influence of the Vikings. While browsing the Viking Museum, you will see that there was more to these ancient Scandinavians than savage raids and seafaring adventures. Exhibits showcase their family life, farming techniques and culture in detail, but if you still have questions just ask one of the guides dressed in Viking attire. You could also sit back and enjoy Ragnfrid’s Saga, a museum ride that will transport you back to the 10th century, the heyday of the Vikings. An exploration of Gamla Stan – Stockholm’s Old Town – will enhance your understanding of the capital’s development through the centuries. While walking through the labyrinth of cobblestone streets, you will pass countless architectural treasures, giving you plenty to reflect on over a lunch that will likely include salmon with dill, Swedish meatballs and kladdkaka chocolate cake for dessert.
