About this activity

Meet your guide at your accommodation. From there, board a tour vehicle and head north through the countryside, move back in time as you travel. Stop first at Broby Viking graveyard, to learn about a real Viking woman named Estrid who was buried here. Cross the 495-foot (150-meter) Jarlabanke's bridge, built by a powerful Viking leader centuries ago. Listen to a message written on a rune stone that flanks the bridge and hear stories from real Viking persons that lived here 1000 years ago. At the Viking parliament, imagine the powerful leaders making important decisions on that very spot and learn about Viking society and culture. Continue to Vallentuna church to see a famous collection of Jarlabanke’s runestones. At the end of your tour, return to Stockholm and be dropped off at your accommodation.
