The Royal Swedish Opera (pass by)

The Royal Swedish Opera is Sweden’s national theatre for opera and ballet. It has served in that role since January 18, 1773, when the first performance was given at the Royal Opera. A couple of years prior to that, in 1771, King Gustav III had fired the French opera troupe that had been performing at Bollhuset by Slottsbacken in Stockholm for 20 years or so. This was due to his wish to form a Swedish ensemble that could put on Swedish operas.The Swedish troupe continued performing in Bollhuset until a new Opera House was completed in 1782 and the ensemble was able to move in.Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

Parliament House (pass by)

The first parliament is often viewed as a meeting that took place in the town of Arboga in 1435. Since that time, Sweden's government has gone through a number of changes. After some initial meetings, parliament came to be represented through the Four Estates, which consisted of representatives from nobility, clergy, burghers, and peasants.Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

St George and the Dragon Statue (pass by)

The statue was commissioned by Sten Sture the Elder following his victory over the Danish army in the Battle of Brunkeberg in 1471.

It has not moved from its original location since then, which gives it an air of real importance and wonder.Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.

Järntorget (pass by)

The second oldest square in Stockholm, slightly younger than Stortorget, Järntorget dates back to around 1300 and remained the city's most important trade centre for centuries — constantly busy and crowded, scents and noise intermixing while goods were transported from shore to shore across the square and up and down the attics of the surrounding buildings.Here you will have to look around to find the answer to our challenge to advance to the new location and learn the story of this place.
