By Harbor Shuttle Ferry:
In summer, ferries let you make a fun, prac-
tical, and scenic shortcut across the harbor to Djurgården island. Boats leave
from Slussen (at the south end of Gamla Stan) every 10-20 minutes, docking
near the Gröna Lund amusement park on Djurgården (May-mid-Sept only,
10-minute trip, 45 kr, tel. 08/679-5830,
www.waxholmsbolaget.se
). There's
also a ferry that stops near the Museum of Modern Art on Skeppsholmen
Island. The Nybro ferry makes the five-minute journey from Nybroplan to
Djurgården, landing next to the Vasa Museum (3/hour, June-Aug daily
10:00-20:00, check with TI for off-season schedule, 45 kr, tel. 08/1200-4000,

)
. The hop-on, hop-off boat tour (see
here
) also connects
many of these stops. While buses and trams run between the same points more
frequently, the ferry option gets you out onto the water and can be faster than
overland connections.
