Guided Fika Tour
If you are a private group, you can book a guided fika walk. During an hour and a half, we visit five cafés where we at each stop sample goodies commonly associated with the traditional Swedish fika. This can include anything from local coffee and tea varieties, cinnamon buns, cookies, chocolate truffles and pastries, to the new Swedish fika-trend with dried fruit, nuts, cheese and jam. The tour will then finish with a seated fika and a slice of the infamous and very delicious Princess Cake.
Our experienced guide will accompany you throughout – talking about how coffee and tea came to Sweden and how the strong Swedish fika-culture developed over time. You will also learn the history behind the local cafés and bakeries, combined with a few entertaining café stories. The guide will speak both Swedish and English. Please note that dogs unfortunately are not allowed.
Group size: maximum 35 people
Price: SEK 1,732 plus SEK 289 per person for the fika (additional charge may apply for other languages)
Languages available: Swedish, English, or German
