Take The Millennium Books Tour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays year-round. The first Hollywood version, directed by David Fincher and starring Bond-actor Daniel Craig as well as an edgy Rooney Mara in the role as Lisbeth Salander, premiered in Stockholm in December 2011 with ' The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. The first film is titled ' Män som hatar kvinnor' (2009). There are three Swedish film versions of the books, starring Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander and the beloved Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist in the role of Mikael Blomqvist. He also tried to get published in English with not much luck until finally, a small London publisher, Christopher MacLehose, took the risk. The Millennium saga continues with a brand-new original story based on the bestselling novel series by Steig Larsson Lisbeth Salander returns in this.

His manuscripts were refused by two Swedish publishers before Norstedts took a chance on him. Larsson had a tough time getting published. If you don’t have time for a drink at restaurant Kvarnen or a coffee at Mellqvist on the tour, they are such local favourites, we say go back later and hang out. You start the 2-hour tour on the island of Södermalm, at Bellmansgatan 1, the home of the main character, Mikael Blomqvist and you walk your way through key locations in the books bars, cafés, and of course, past Lisbeth Salander’s apartment.Īlso, Stockholm City Museum sells maps in their gift shop for self-guided tours. The Millennium Books Tour is a walking tour based on the trilogy of books The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest. The trilogy (read by more than 60 million last time we checked) has inspired controversy, family feuds, Hollywood movies, and has shown the world the dark side of calm and peaceful Sweden. The Millennium saga continues with ‘The Girl who Played With Fire: the second chapter of Stieg Larssons best-selling novel series. It begins with the discovery of Mikael Blomkvists number at Millennium magazine in the pocket of an unidentified homeless man who died with the name of a government minister on his lips. All three volumes of the Millenium Trilogy together with Afterword (four essays and an exchange of e-mails) housed in a black, board slipcase with gilt dragon.
