About my cemetery work

Join me on a captivating journey through one of Sweden’s most historically rich cemeteries – Norra begravningsplatsen (The Northern Cemetery) in Stockholm, a proud member of the European Cemeteries Route.

I am is a licensed Stockholm guide with a strong academic background in history and years of experience bringing the stories of the past vividly to life. My tours are known for their warmth, depth, and storytelling flair – whether guiding visitors through royal palaces, hidden neighborhoods, or resting places of Sweden’s most notable figures.

At Norra begravningsplatsen, visitors are invited to explore a serene and beautifully designed landscape dating back to the early 19th century. This tranquil cemetery is more than a burial ground – it’s a cultural landmark and an open-air archive of Sweden’s intellectual, artistic, and political legacy. With me as your guide, you’ll encounter the lives behind the names such as Alfred Nobel (the visionary inventor and founder of the Nobel Prizes), August Strindberg (the groundbreaking author and playwright), Anita Ekberg (the international film icon), along with composers, scientists, architects, and reformers who helped shape modern Sweden.

Each tour is thoughtfully curated to connect the individual stories of the buried with the wider currents of European culture and memory. My deep knowledge and engaging delivery make the experience accessible and memorable for international audiences, whether you’re a culture enthusiast, historian, or simply curious about Sweden’s past.

Guided tours are available in English and Swedish and can be customized for groups with specific interests – from literature and performing arts to science and social history. Whether visiting as a traveler, student, or local, you’ll leave with a richer understanding of both the cemetery and the enduring legacies within it.
