Västerås Self-Guided Detective Murder Mystery Game

Västerås becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Västerås Domkyrka, Västerås Castle, Stora Torget and Västerås Konstmuseum. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Västerås.

Merchants and Mercenaries Self Guided Tour of Visby

Visby is intact because Visby died young. In the mid fourteenth century, plague, a Danish king's army, and a fleet from Lübeck struck this island city in quick succession, leaving the wall, twelve ruined churches, and cobbled streets exactly where they had stood. This self-guided audio walking tour of Visby brings that story to life on your phone, with no physical guide and no fixed start time. Walk the Ringmuren, three kilometres of medieval wall, and discover why it was built against fellow Gotlanders, not foreign invaders. Hear about a friar who bought two harbour properties to expand his choir, a boy in chainmail at the foot of the wall, and a silver coin reading 'Moses is the messenger of God' dug up beneath a Gotlandic farmhouse. If you want to pause for photos, sit beside a ruin, or stop for coffee without being rushed, this Visby walking tour fits you. Over 20,000 travelers have used your self-guided tours, and this one comes with a full refund guarantee.

Dog sledding excursion to Kiruna

Do you dream of joining a real musher for a once in a lifetime Arctic Experience? Are all the dog sledding tours in Abisko fully booked during your time in Abisko? Don’t worry – Lights Over Lapland is here to help! Before Covid arrived Abisko was blessed with several dog sledding companies, which offered our guests lots of choice and availability. Sadly, Covid led to the loss of 50% of the dog sledding capacity in Abisko so now there is only one provider in the National Park who offers dog sledding adventures. They are a fantastic company, with incredible dog sledding trips in Abisko, but unfortunately for our guests they are usually fully booked months in advance. This makes it very difficult to find availability for our guests on the ground in Abisko. With this in mind, Lights Over Lapland, and our friends at Kiruna Dogsled have an exciting dog sledding adventure in the beautiful village of Oinakka – just outside of Kiruna, near the world’s original Icehotel.

Viking's Trading Post to Baltic's Golden Age: A Visby Audio Tour

Visby's medieval centre is so well preserved that UNESCO granted it World Heritage status in 1995. On this walking tour, you'll trace how Visby rose from a Viking-age trading post to become the Baltic's most powerful Hanseatic city, and how Danish invasions, the Black Death, and the Reformation brought that golden age to an end. Starting at the Port Terminal, you'll pass through the Southern Gate where archaeologists found medieval arrowheads in the stonework, explore a park that was once the Baltic's busiest harbour, and walk above a 4,000-year-old Stone Age settlement buried beneath the cobblestones. Along the way you'll hear of a woman imprisoned on witchcraft charges, stand inside a Dominican church burned in 1525, and discover why the famous Goddess of Abundance statue was actually a French mail-order sculpture.
