Stockholm City Sightseeing Hop On / Off Bus & Boat

Stockholm looks out to the Baltic Sea. Boasting a 700 year-old history, the city is home to grand public buildings, palaces and has a rich cultural history. Stockholm is world famous for being stunningly picturesque and sits on 14 islands. It is surrounded by water and presents parkland, forest and beautiful views. Discover the renowned Royal Palace, gothic churches, Swedish design-ware shops, and excellent cafes and restaurants. Hop aboard an open top bus and explore Stockholm and its sights at your own pace. The buses stop at carefully chosen spots including the City Hall, the Vasa museum, and Skansen. For the boat tour, simply hop off the bus at one of over 5 stops, including the Royal Palace, where Stockholm Sightseeing boats depart at least once every half hour.

Take the bus tour to Old Town, which is the original heart of Stockholm. Browse the souvenir shops and visit the trendy district SoFo at Sodermalm with its restaurants, pubs and boutiques.
