Vasa is a giant Swedish warship built between 1626 and 1628 to become the flagship and the pride of Sweden. The ship foundered after sailing about 1,300 m (1,400 yds) into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. She was located in the late 1950s in a busy shipping lane just outside the Stockholm harbor. Salvaged with a largely intact hull in 1961, it was eventually moved to the Vasa Museum in Stockholm. Vasa is one of the most popular attractions of Sweden and one of its main symbols. It is also the world's most significant 17th-century sailer.

1,5 hour

The city is spread across a total of 17 islands on the coast in the southeast of Sweden at the mouth of Lake Mälaren, by the Stockholm archipelago and the Baltic Sea. This is why the boat ride is an exciting way to see the numerous islands and bridges of the city. The historical name for Stockholm Old Town was "The city between the bridges," a name which is still used for the entire city, which spans over numerous islands, islets, and hills. See the famous Slussen bridge complex, the oldest bridges around the Gamla Stan, take the photos of the Royal palace, the Townhall, the Royal Dramatic Theater, enjoy the panorama of the Djurgården island.

Start your day with Private City Walk.

Set amongst the Old Town's atmospheric surroundings, this 90-minute walk invites you to pillage and plunder your way through Sweden’s culture and history. Stopping by such famous landmarks as the Royal Palace, Parliament building, and Lake Mälaren, we will also explore the tourist track's hidden spots. (It is also possible to book a historical walk of the Old Town, with a Viking guide at a surcharge).

  

Visit the world-famous Vasa Museum. This soon-to-be 400-year old beauty,  The Vasa Ship, is one of the only ships from this era that has been salvaged almost in full. In this private guided tour of the museum, you will learn about the vessel, the events surrounding its demise, and the salvation process - as well as seeing this amazing ship and surrounding exhibits.

05:00 Contemplate Stockholm, the Nordic pearl from the water! It is the perfect way you can truly experience the city's beauty, which consists of one-third urban development, one-third forest, and one-third water. During this sightseeing tour, we skip the traffic and soak up the ambiance of the waterways. This electric boat is virtually silent, allowing for a peaceful and enjoyable tour of the city. Your skipper is also an Authorized Stockholm Guide! (Please, note that this is a shared (join-in) part of the tour)
