City Walk - 1000 Years in 100 Minutes in the World Heritage Site of Falun

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.
