See Stockholm by Boat
Tip - Suggested Itineraries, Tip - What to See & Do, Town / City
Visitors to the so-called “Venice of the North” will find that Stockholm's beautiful canals and bridges definitely deserve to be described by a thusly flattering a moniker. A wide variety of boat tours exist to assists tourists and travelers in their efforts to tap the city's marvelous waterways. Choose from any number of combined boat and coach tours, ranging from a quick trip via air-conditioned vessel under a couple of bridges and past the islands of Kungsholmen, Langholmen and Reimersholme, up to and including more thorough explorations of all the bridges and locks, and many other area attractions.
For tourists interested in marrying a river tour with a visit to a few additional cultural institutions, “hop-on, hop-off” tours offer a chance to take in the canals and bridges along with intermittent stops at the Royal Palace for the changing of the guard, the Grona Lund amusement park, and the Vasa and Nordiska Museums respectively.
Another favorite is a 3.5-hour combined bus and boat tour through Stockholm that is billed as perfect for first time visitors, and features extended language-accessible narration features in English, Swedish, Italian, German, French and Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and even Finnish.
One 2-hour tour in particular is ideal for tourists who want to forgo peripheral attractions and focus primarily on 15 of the city's bridges, two of its locks, and a short cruise on Lake Malaren.
Pricing for all tours vary considerably, depending on the size of your tour group, the duration of your cruise, and the degree luxury. Hours of departure vary seasonal.

I had a one-day trip to Stockholm which was indeed very interesting and highly educational. I learned a lot about Sweden in whole and Stockholm in particular. The bus and boat rides were both fabulous and the scenery was so great. It felt like you were going through the history of the past thousand years. I rate the tour 11 out of 10 as aside from the tour itself, all staff members and employees were highly courteous and provided their service with professionalism.
