CHILDREN IN OLD TOWN STOCKHOLM - BACK IN TIME
Children in Old Town Stockholm lived very different lives to today — yet some things feel familiar. They played, had friends and created their own adventures in the narrow streets. But for most, responsibility came early.
From around age 6 or 7, many children had to work — carrying wood, fetching water and caring for younger siblings. School was far from guaranteed.
On this ghost walk in Old Town Stockholm, you step straight back in time and discover what life was really like for children in the past.
In medieval Gamla Stan, most children didn’t go to school. By the age of six or seven, life was already filled with work - carrying firewood, fetching water, and looking after younger siblings.
A time-travel journey back to historic Stockholm reveals a childhood that was more work than play.
