Hiking

Sigtuna is considered to be Sweden's oldest town. It is said to have been founded around the year 970. But that is not why tourists come here. Today's Sigtuna attracts visitors with its idyllic town center, wooden houses, souvenir shops, restaurants and many cafés. Most of the shops and cafés are located in the pedestrian zone along the small main street, Stora gatan. The town also has Sweden's smallest town hall (on Stora torget) and a museum dedicated to the history of Sigtuna.

Sigtuna was founded around the year 980 and is considered the oldest still existing city in Sweden. The historic center with its traditional wooden houses, the small pedestrian street Stora gatan and the town hall at Stora torget still convey the character of an old Swedish small town today. Runestones, medieval church ruins and its location directly on Lake Mälaren make Sigtuna a particularly charming destination for a walk between Swedish history and idyllic coastal scenery.
