Every week, all year round, hundreds of people walk the streets of Södermalm to find out more about the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo…
Welcome to join the city-walk called the Millennium Tour – in the footsteps of Lisbeth Salander and Stieg Larsson – organized by the Stockholm City Museum on Wednesdays at 18 H and on Saturdays at 11.30 H. Please find out more about tickets and maps at www.stadsmuseum.stockholm.se
“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has opened, and there are plenty of reasons to praise the performances of Daniel Craig, Stellan Skarsgard and Rooney Mara…but the stand out of the cast is really the city of Stockholm — and the Swedish style in particular. It’s the dead of winter in Sweden and whole cast is obviously freezing all the time — but they look so good in their cold weather clothes. No hideous Patagonia shells or marshmallow down puffy jackets. It’s all sleek wool top coats, tasteful tweeds, simple wool dresses, some fantastic shapeless leather get ups for Mara and a very good corduroy blazer on a very bad man. So where do you go to get that Millennium series chic winter look? If you’re not interested in sifting through H&M’s new “Dragon Tattoo Collection” it’s time for your very own Stockholm style pilgrimage.” Read the whole article by Charles Runnette on NewNowNext>>

Each scene also has several details connected to them: both from the book “The Girl with the Dragoon Tattoo”, and from the world of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium – the real and the fictional.

”The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” to open a day earlier
Have you hear that Sony is releasing “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” a day earlier than originally planned — Dec. 20 instead of Dec. 21, the company announced Tuesday. Looking forward to see Rooney Mara as Salander!
Is it December 21st yet?! The premiere of the Hollywood version of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” cannot come soon enough.
Starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig, directed by David Fincher, this upcoming blockbuster promises to be one of the most anticipated this holiday season.
Experience Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy and stay at the Hilton Stockholm Slussen where part of the story took place.
Start the guided tour around the corner of the hotel and follow in the footsteps of Lisbeth Salander and all the other characters. The 90-minute walking tour is available in English and Swedish and its highlights include: Götgatan – where Mikael Blomkvist’s office is located – the view over Riddarfjärden from his apartment and ‘Kvarnen’, a legendary drinking hall on Södermalm frequented by Lisbeth Salander.
Stieg Larsson’s 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 across the world and The Millennium Trilogy tour gives you a fantastic opportunity to be where everything took place.
You’ll stay in the comfort of Hilton Stockholm Slussen, located on Södermalm’s island, with breakfast and a complimentary glass of wine or beer and canapés in Hilton’s Eken Bar (featured in the TV series). So don’t miss out – book now!
Finally the David Fincher version of the film “the Girl with the dragon tattoo” has got its release date, 21st of December.

We walked in the footsteps of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist from the Millennium Trilogy. See the programme at BBC Fast Track.
You can also do the Millennium Tour in Stockholm. Follow along in Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander’s footsteps while getting additional background information about the characters and the author. The walk starts at Bellmangatan 1, where Mikael Blomkvist lives, then passes the Millennium editorial office, Lisbeth Salander’s luxury apartment and many other locations mentioned in the books and films.
On the way you will also learn more about the history of Stockholm and the people who live here.

Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander on W‘s February 2011 cover!!
David Fincher, the darkly obsessive director of Fight Club and The Social Network, is making the Hollywood version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
In the February issue of W we get an exclusive first look from the set of the year’s most anticipated film.
Fincher’s film departs dramatically from the book: Mikael Blomkvist is more gentlemanly, Salander is more aggressive—and the ending has been completely altered. What do you think about that? And who do you think makes the better “Girl with the dragon tattoo” – Rooney Mara or Noomi Rapace?
The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson has sold over 50 million copies (and still counting…) world wide.

Right now BBC Fast Track is filming in Stockholm. I had the pleasure of keeping them company all day. Stockholm was beautiful dressed in white as you can see. Almost like a fairytale. We mostly walked in the footsteps of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist and met some people who actually knew Stieg Larsson, the late author of the Millennium Trilogy.
Here we are at Bellmansgatan 1. This is where Mikael Blomkvist lives in an attic apartment with a view of the water and Old Town (Gamla stan). In the books, the entrance of the building is at street level. In reality, the entrance to Bellmansgatan 1 is from the walkway over the street.
