DETECTIVE TOURS of Södermalm, an island in the centre of Stockholm. “All the good guys in the books are from Södermalm,” says Claesson. “It is where Larsson lived. All the bad guys are from elsewhere.” As a campaigning journalist who received death threats from right-wing extremists, Larsson’s home is a secret. But the apartment of Mikael Blomkvist – the books’ hero – is another matter, and the view over Riddarfjärden from ‘his’ flat is a tour highlight. The walk also takes in the 7-Eleven mentioned in the books, where sightseers can buy Billy’s Deep Pan Pizza. From there the tour snakes through narrow 18th-century cobblestone paths to the coffee houses where Blomkvist feeds his caffeine addiction and the hotels where he enjoys secret trysts. It passes by the offices of Blomkvist’s fictitious Millennium magazine – actually the offices of Greenpeace – and stops at Montelius Vägen, a wooden walkway from where you can see the courthouse and police headquarters that feature heavily in the books. The truly committed can even take a three-hour ferry ride to Sandhamn in Sweden’s outer archipelago, to visit where the late author had a summerhouse. Curious crimes Back in the downtown region of Stockholm, talkative expat Englishman Anthony Heads runs The Stockholm Murder Tour, a walk that revisits famous crime scenes from 1920 up to the present day. Heads – a crime enthusiast who has lived in Stockholm for 10 years – dresses as a detective and recounts the facts behind each case, and even produces photos of the crime scene to make 42 Brussels Airlines b.there! magazine November <strong>2010</strong> There is something in the Swedish national psyche that attracts them to crime stories his grisly points. He says he often gets police officers taking the tour. “They have rarely heard of all the crimes I talk about,” he says. “They are always surprised.” Heads’ ‘favourite’ story concerns the so-called ‘vampire murder’ of 1932, when a prostitute was found murdered in her own apartment, her body drained of blood. “Next to her body they found a soup ladle that the murderer used to drink her blood,” he says. “It is very creepy.” Heads believes Swedes are fascinated with crime. “There is something in the Swedish national psyche that attracts them to crime stories, real or fictionalised,” he says. “When prime minister Olof Palme was assassinated in 1986, Sweden became less of an open, naïve society. It lost its innocence. Now the country is very interested in crime and the underworld.” Sara Claesson, however, doesn’t quite agree. “I think that Stockholm is more like the British TV series Midsomer Murders,” she says. “Midsomer is a very nice place, where lot of people get murdered – but it’s fiction. I am not afraid of Stockholm. At least, I don’t think so…” €99 * FROM JUST RETURN ALL-IN Fly to Stockholm from just €99* return all-in. brusselsairlines.com FR Meurtre à la suédoise Les rues pittoresques de Stockholm et d’Ystad sont envahies de visiteurs à la recherche de sensations plus sinistres que les habituels clichés de vacances. Andrew Pemberton suit à la trace les lieux emblématiques de la littérature policière. « Les gens préfèrent la fiction à la réalité, » nous dit Vivianne Jeppsson. Cette guide, basée à Ystad, emmène les touristes dans « les Pas de Wallander », une promenade commentée des exploits du détective misanthrope Kurt Wallander, le personnage de l’écrivain Henning Mankel. Apparemment, la Suède se place en bonne position sur ce marché des tours insolites. Le tour de Wallander, organisé depuis huit ans, pérégrine à travers la merveilleuse ville médiévale, d’où l’on aperçoit l’Hôtel Continental, où Wallander aime dîner, et les bars et pizzerias dans lesquels il vient souvent noyer sa déprime. « C’est fantastique de découvrir cette charmante ville du Moyen-Age sous l’angle de la fiction, » confie Jeppsson. « Une fois sur place, vous serez aussi conquis par la beauté de l’endroit. » La guide Sara Claesson, considère pour sa part, que la mission principale du Millennium Tour de Stockholm – qui conduit les fans à travers les lieux de la célèbre trilogie de Stieg Larsson – est de raconter « l’histoire de Stockholm. » Cette année, la ville prévoit la mise sur pied de plus de 300 tours, destinés à attirer les plus jeunes visiteurs. La plupart des circuits se déroulent dans ce qui fut autrefois le quartier ouvrier, devenu le district bobo de Södermalm, où vivait Larsson. Enfin, dans le centre de Stockholm, Anthony Heads, un Anglais expatrié, a monté le Stockholm Murder Tour, qui revisite les fameuses scènes de crime de 1920 jusqu’à nos jours. « Il y a quelque chose dans l’esprit des Suédois qui les passionne pour les histoires de crime, » conclut-il.
