More about the tour

A city walk in Skogskyrkogården with a guide. Even though we don't go into any chapels on this tour, I dare to promise a very interesting tour.

You walk in a cemetery that has no church. Hear the story of how it all began, why this place was chosen and about the collaboration between the architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz.

You experience landscape architecture mixed with Swedish forest and iconic buildings. More than 2,000 funerals are held here every year. Skogskyrkogården was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1994.

The city walk in Skogskyrkogården takes you to the iconic Almhöjden, seven wells path, the Resurrection Chapel, Greta Garbo's grave and the fairytale Forest Chapel.
