Taking a tour can be an efficient way of getting a handle on Stockholm's highlights. For a
unique perspective, try seeing the city from the water or from up in the air.
Strömma Kanalbolaget
BOAT TOUR
This ubiquitous company offers tours large and small, from a 50-minute cruise around
Djurgården (Skr170) to a three-hour 'brunch cruise' including a decadent buffet (Skr450).
There are also hop-on, hop-off tours by bus (from Skr260), boat (Skr160) or both
(Skr350).
Best bet: 'Under the Bridges of Stockholm' (Skr225), a two-hour canal tour running
daily 10am to 7pm mid-April to October. Book tickets ahead if possible, as this tour some-
times sells out.
