Highly recommend this experience!”
Nordic Food Walk Stockholm is a 4-hour small-group tasting route from Östermalms Saluhall to Gamla Stan fika with wine, beer, and hot chocolate.

Great culinary tour through the heart of the city—-though we could have stood to have a few more tastings as most of them were modest sized. Overall, great experience. :)”
