Katarinaberget – views & bubbles: City walk Södermalm

Join the green guide Stefan Maurbakken on a Friday evening walk across Katarinaberget, one of Södermalm's most dramatic and historic heights. Here, fantastic views of Saltsjön and Stockholm meet with vivid stories of fires, witch trials, factories and everyday life in narrow alleys.

We move along Roddargatan, Mosebacke and Fiskargatan – where Årstafrun once strolled and documented the city's scents, movements and voices.

At the end of the walk, I invite you to the table to taste Sweden - Something to chew on and something to wash down the crumbs. 

This is the city walk for those who want to:

• Discover historical Stockholm with taste and view

• Enjoy Friday evening with culture, stories and something in the glass

• Start the weekend in a different and memorable way
