Millennium Film Locations Tour in Stockholm

January 29th, 2018 Sonja DESTINATIONS, EUROPE, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN
Millennium Film Locations Tour in Stockholm
(Last Updated On: 10th November 2019)

Are you a film fan who is planning a trip to Sweden's capital Stockholm? Then I have a tip for you! On a walking tour for the "Millennium" film locations in Stockholm, you can learn all about the famous "Millennium" books and films, including Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and see the best views of Stockholm en route…

What is this tour all about?

Stockholm, and more precisely its trend district Södermalm, is the setting of the millennium trilogy novels and subsequent Swedish feature films The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009), The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009), and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest (2009) all written by Swedish bestselling author Stieg Larsson. 

Plus, in 2011, Hollywood made a reboot version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo starring Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist and Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander.

For both the Swedish and the American version, much of the filming took place in Stockholm. On this tour, you will also learn a lot about the books' author, Stieg Larsson. Thus, Lonely Planet has chosen the "Millennium" film locations tour in Stockholm as the "No 1 Literary Walking tour in the World"!

When is the tour and what will I see?

Fans of either the Swedish or American movies, should not miss the dedicated 2‑hour-tour Millennium Film Locations Tour in Stockholm.

The English tour takes place every Saturday all year round from 11.30am – 1.30pm. From July to September there are also tours on Thursdays from 6 to 8pm.

The "Millennium tour" starts in Stockholm's trendy hipster district Södermalm along some really beautiful cobbled streets and houses.

The first stop will be at Bellmansgatan 1 – the home of the main character, journalist Mikael Blomqvist

You will then walk your way through all the other key film locations such as the Millennium editorial office, the characters' favourite bars and cafés, and of course Lisbeth Salander’s luxury apartment.

Tickets for the tour are 150 SEK (around 15 Euros) each and can be booked online. Alternatively, you can buy a Millenium Map (SEK 40 = around 5 Euros) to tour the film locations yourself. 

The English tour takes place every Saturday all year round from 11.30am – 1.30pm. From July to September there are also tours on Thursdays from 6 to 8pm.

I am an ex London expat now living back in Germany. Having worked part-time in a cinema since my school days, the cinema (or in 2020 rather Netflix & co) is my second home. If you don't find me there, I am probably travelling the world in order to trace my favourite film locations and film settings. On filmfantravel.com, I combine these two passions by sharing my best tips about film-inspired travel. Join the journey on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @filmfantravel!

Christmas is almost over and although many things 
Christmas is almost over and although many things have been different this year, some things never change... Such as our favourite Christmas movies that we can watch over and over again... and that make us dream about future travel destinations! 😉 💭 

One of my favourite Christmas series to look forward to this year was the second season of the Norwegian romcom series “Home for Christmas” (OT: Hjem til jul) with @idaelisebroch_official and @felixsandman! The series was released on Netflix on 18 December 2020. 

When I was working as a tour guide in Norway this summer, I was lucky enough to pass by Røros - the UNESCO world heritage town that served as the setting and main film location for the series! 

Read more about the series and its film location Røros on my blog FilmFanTravel.com(link in my bio above)! 

Which Christmas movie has inspired your upcoming travels?

Just like American Marketing Manager Emily in the new Netflix series “Emily in Paris”, I followed almost every fashion trend back in 2007. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️Here I am in front of the Eiffel Tower wearing a massive “link chain necklace”. Hey, it was fashionable at the time, okay? InStyle magazine said so! 😂🙈

Writing my newest film review about the American girl who makes the big move to Paris (link currently in bio), I realised that it has been exactly 10 years since my last visit to the city of love in 2010. So I really would like to go back in 2021.

Who else was inspired to put Paris on their post-pandemic travel list by watching “Emily in Paris”?

Blarney Castle near Cork, Ireland in full autumn b
Blarney Castle near Cork, Ireland in full autumn bloom back in October 2016.

The castle’s unique attraction is to kiss the famous Blarney stone on top of the castle. What’s more... you apparently get the gift of eloquence afterwards. The catch: You have to lean over backwards - head first - to reach it! Apart from that, kissing a stone that millions others have kissed before is not exactly in line with the current Covid hygiene rules... 😂

As far as I know Blarney Castle itself has not yet been used as a filming location, but the website states that it’s open for bookings for TV and movie crews. Maybe something to look forward to in the year 1 or 2 AC (After Corona). 😂🙈 Let’s hope so because with Ireland being the main film location of major TV and movie productions such as “Game of Thrones”, “Star Wars” and “Vikings”, there is much to discover for film fans! 🤗

21st of April 2017: Today thee years ago, I landed
21st of April 2017: Today thee years ago, I landed in Iceland and traced the film locations of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty“ (2013), “Vikings“ (2013-) and co. Here I boarded a puffin bird watching boat tour from Iceland’s capital Reykjavik. An experience just like the ones you can see in the bird watching comedy “The Big Year” (2011). To read more about that tour, check out my current website link above. 
Who has been to Iceland so far? And who has got Iceland on their bucket list for future travel?
