Description
Hop aboard and set sail from the heart of Stockholm into the breathtaking Stockholm Archipelago. Leave the busy city centre behind and watch as the urban landscape gradually transforms into a peaceful landscape of sparkling waterways, charming summer houses, and rugged rocky shores. This 2-hour boat tour offers the perfect introduction to this unique island world. Along the way, your English-speaking guide will share fascinating stories about the surrounding sights, the history of the archipelago, the boat itself, the Swedish royal family, local traditions, and much more. The boat also has a bar on board, where you can purchase drinks and snacks while taking in the panoramic views. The tour departs from in front of the Royal Palace in Gamla Stan. Look for the Stockholm RED Sightseeing tour kiosk next to the Gustav III Statue, where your journey into the archipelago begins. As the tour runs once a day, we recommend booking in advance to secure your spot.
