City walk Kristinehamn

Join a guided walking tour in Kristinehamn and discover the stories of iron, trade and the town’s historic centre.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Kristinehamn played an important role in the iron trade. The world market price for iron was set here, and during the trading periods the town filled with people, business and social life.

On this guided walking tour, you follow the story of a time when iron shaped Kristinehamn. The walk takes you through central parts of the town, where traces of history can still be found in streets, places and buildings.

The tour is led by Christina Skan, often in historical character, and brings you closer to the stories of the people, trade and everyday life in Kristinehamn during an important period in the town’s history.

The walking tour suits visitors who want to understand more about Kristinehamn’s past and experience the town centre from a new perspective. Comfortable shoes are recommended.
