Covering the city districts of Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Norrmalm, Östermalm and Djurgården -- each with its own special character -- this tour offers an excellent introduction to Stockholm from land and from the water.
Drive through the enchanting medieval Old Town, the Gamla Stan, with the Royal Palace overlooking Stockholm's inner harbor. It is surrounded by many other magnificent old houses and palaces.
Continue past the Royal Opera House and through the modern shopping and business.
Leave the coach and board a motor launch for a 50-minute Royal Canal tour into the Eco-Park -- Stockholm's National City Park.
Cruise along Strandvägen, one of the most exclusive areas in Stockholm, and through the green and lush park areas of Djurgården. Once a Royal hunting area, today Djurgården functions as Stockholm's amusement and recreation center. It is home to great parklands, beautiful gardens, cafés and restaurants, the Gröna Lund Tivoli, the Skansen Open-Air Museum and the well-known Vasa Museum, which houses the 17th-century warship Vasa.
Out on more open water, you will pass Fjäderholmarna, the Feather Islands. Continue past Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde before leaving the boat to reboard the coach.
Relax for some panoramic sightseeing before returning to the pier.
Notes:
This tour is available only to guests whose cruise does not begin or end in Stockholm. Tour sequence may vary.
