Excavate Sweden’s amazing Viking history on a small group day tour from its beautiful capital, Stockholm!
Quick Details
This tour takes you through the whole Viking age but with a smaller focus on law and Viking society!
We visit one of the best-preserved assembly places close to Stockholm, Arkils assembly place. Here you can explore Viking life in Scandinavia with an expert guide. We tell you about the Viking age in general, the meeting place and its special functions, and some Viking laws that we know of. We also touch upon the Viking religion, runes, runestones, their ships at the Vallentuna lakeside, their laws, and more depending on what you want to know.
The site is situated 40 minutes by bus from central Stockholm. We recommend taking public transportation to the site. Take Stockholm central station’s (T-centralen) red subway line towards Mörby Centrum, and get off at Dandrys Sjukhus. There you take the 610 bus towards either Vallentuna station or Norrgården. You get off at the Lovisedal stop after about 25 minutes. There, you and the guide walk towards the assembly place.
