1,000 Years in 100 Minutes at the Falun World Heritage Site

Falun has a thousand-year history and grew as the copper mine and industry in Falun expanded. This has had a profound impact on the city, both then and now.

Join us on a walk from the charming side to the grim side, where your guide will give you a taste of all the fascinating history Falun has to offer.

It offers a grand glimpse into the 17th century, famous figures, and rust-tinged slums—all mixed, of course, with a dash of falukorv and red-painted wooden houses.

Learn about the world’s first joint-stock company and the first state-run liquor store, admire magnificent architecture, and much more alongside your certified guide.

The city walking tour begins at Stora Torget and ends near the Gruvrondellen/Stora Coop
