★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,357 reviews · 1h 15m · from $43

See Stockholm’s winter quays, Djurgården, and Fjäderholmarna on a 75-minute guided boat tour with icebreaking and onboard café.

“A lovely way to see the city and find out about Stockholm’s history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out many items of interest we would not have noticed on our own. My advice is to check the weather and dress warmly. It was overcast when we undertook this activity and VERY cool sitting outside in the wind.”

Stockholm Archipelago Cruise with Guide

6.Stockholm Archipelago Cruise with Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,125 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $47

Cruise from Stockholm to Vaxholm with an English-speaking guide, island views, historic stories, indoor seating, and practical tips for every season.

“The boat, captain, and chief guide were excellent. We had expected that the tour would include a stop to visit the archipelago itself. However, the experience was limited to staying on the boat and viewing the many islands around Stockholm from the water. It is likely we did not read the description carefully, which led to different expectations.”
