Join a walk from the charming side of the city to the grim one, where your guide offers a taste of all the exciting history that the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Falun has to offer.
Falun has a history spanning a thousand years and grew as the copper mine and industry in Falun expanded. This has strongly influenced the city, both then and now. You'll experience grand 17th-century sights, famous personalities, and smoke-stained poor neighborhoods, naturally mixed with a touch of falukorv and red-painted wooden houses.
Learn about the world's first joint-stock company and the first liquor store, pass by magnificent architecture, and much more with your certified guide.
Good to know:
– The tour starts at the Engelbrekt statue on Stora Torget and ends near Gruvrondellen/Stora Coop.
– The guided tour lasts about 1 hour and 50 minutes, and dress according to the weather as the tour proceeds in rain or cold temperatures.
– The tour is available for booking all year but must be pre-booked via email.
– Group size: Minimum 6 people, maximum 20 people.
