Sweden · CITY TOURS IN STOCKHOLM
A Swedish trip always has one day too few in it. These 6 city tours in Stockholm earn theirs, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes rather than an evening.
See Stockholm from a classic archipelago ship while a live guide explains the islands, landmarks, and local history in English and Swedish. Choose 1.5, 2.5, or 3 hours. You’ll find indoor and limited outdoor seating, a café with snacks and drinks, toilets, and free WiFi onboard.

See Stockholm at your own pace on a 24 or 72-hour red and green bus tour. Stop near the Royal Palace, Old Town, Vasa Museum, Skansen, ABBA The Museum, City Hall, and cruise terminals. An optional 55-minute boat adds views of the waterfront. Audio guides, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair-accessible buses are included.
“It started out great, everything was wonderful. they tell you the last bus leaves stop #8 at 2:30pm so you can be back to the cruise terminal in time. What they don't tell you is the buses stop running at 1:30pm. We were waiting a stop #3 for over 30 minutes waiting for a bus and all of them were stopping at #1 and not moving, so we ended up taking a taxi to #7 and walking to #8 (cutting down on the cost) just to make it in time. So watch your time and double check with the drivers about catching the bus to go back to the cruise…”
Join a live English or German guide on a small, open electric boat from Skeppsbron 2, beside Stockholm Palace. In 50 minutes, you’ll glide past the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Vasa Museum, ABBA The Museum, Skeppsholmen, and Djurgården’s green canals. The ride is smooth and quiet, with space for questions and your own snacks or drinks.
“Great boat tour! Fabian was funny and instructive! Thanks :) 100% recommandation!”
See Stockholm at your own pace from a red or green double-decker bus. Choose a 24- or 72-hour ticket, listen to commentary in 11 languages, and hop off near Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace, Vasa Museum, Skansen, ABBA The Museum, City Hall, and cruise terminals. A full loop takes about 60 minutes, longer on cruise days.
“The hop on and off bus was perfect for our needs. Very economical way to see and travel around the city.”
See Stockholm from its waterways in a stable two-person sea kayak, staying close to shore as your English-speaking guide points out city sights. Morning and evening departures last 2 to 4 hours. Choose the evening option for a Swedish dinner. The route suits beginners, though wind and waves can make parts more demanding.
“Merlin was our guide and was amazing! The weather was not the best but she put us at ease and told us exactly how to get through the wind conditions safely while crossing the harbor. We had a great time and learned some fun facts about Stockholm. Highly recommend kayaking in Stockholm.”
Use a Strömma hop-on hop-off boat to connect Stockholm’s Royal Palace, Gamla Stan, Vasa Museum, Djurgården, Fotografiska, and more. The full water loop takes about 55 minutes, with recorded commentary through your phone and headphones. A 24 or 72-hour ticket lets you explore at your own pace, though boats may run only about hourly and mainly during daytime.
“The tour was good. however I felt that the destinations were quite near so can be managed using public transport too.”
Pick an island, a century or a sled.
