Boat Sightseeing

Seeing Stockholm from the water is an enjoyable must. Fortunately, there are many tours to choose from depending on your interests.

Under the Bridges of Stockholm, Royal Canal Tour, Historical Canal Tour, and the early Good Morning Stockholm Tour concentrate on central Stockholm and take from 50 minutes to 2½ hours. The Good Morning tour is given in Swedish and English only. Other tours are also given in German, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, Finnish, Chinese, and Japanese. The number of tours is limited during the winter.

Hop On Hop Off is a flexible way to see Stockholm from the water. The ticket is good for an unlimited number of trips over a 24-hour period. It can also be combined with bus (Open Top Bus Tour).

Archipelago Race is for those who want to see the archipelago but do not have much time. In a fast Speedo boat, you get a feel for the archipelago and its 30,000 islands in less than 2 hours. The tour is given in Swedish and English. Tickets can be purchased online.

The Venice of the North

As children, we were often taken on the "Paddan" around the islands of Stockholm and we also cheered and waved from the top of bridges as other boats sailed underneath us. It is a magical moment that never goes away. Living in Lima, Peru and later in Canada, I dreamed of the experience and now, 47 years later, I felt it again. Tack Stockholm!
