Fans of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy can now explore the book’s setting in person and see some of the iconic buildings from the novels. The Stockholm City Museum in Sweden is now offering guided walking tours in English and French that follow in the footsteps of protagonists Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander, reports Routard.
The Millennium books (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked Over the Hornet’s Nest) have sold over 50 million copies around the world. They were major hits in their native Sweden and English, French and German translations catapulted the series onto the world stage.
The 90-minute Millennium tour explores the Södermalm region of Stockholm, where much of the series’ action takes place.
Museum guides will take visitors around to many of the major locales mentioned in the books, including Götgatan, the location of Blomkvist’s office, the view from his apartment over Riddarfjärden, and the legendary drinking establishment Kvarnen, a bar Salander was known to frequent.
English tours are held Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. and Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. Tickets cost about $20 and can be purchased through the museum or the Stockholm Tourist Centre.
