Gävle Audio Tour: Tracks, Tales & Towers of the City Heart

Audio guide14 stops

Every December in Gävle, a giant straw goat dares the city’s snow and its secret saboteurs. Beneath this festive spectacle, old streets hide rivalries, betrayals, and spectacles that shaped Gävle into more than a postcard town. This self-guided audio tour invites you to trace whispered scandals and heroic moments across city squares, cozy Centralhotellet lounges, and the timeworn stones of Gävle parish. Follow a trail locals often miss and awaken the hidden city with each step. What desperate act almost destroyed the iconic Gävle goat? Which shadowy figure at Centralhotellet once caused a scandal reaching all the way to Stockholm? Why does one church bell in Gävle parish ring differently on cold winter nights? Unravel Gävle’s secrets while crossing vibrant boulevards and quiet corners. Each landmark pulls you deeper into a world of drama, resilience, and unexpected wonder. The legend of Gävle waits. Start your adventure now.
