Description

Explore Stockholm’s medieval island, Gamla Stan, on foot, then continue on a silent electric boat cruise that navigates closer to the city than any other sightseeing vessel.

Part 1 – Old Town Walking Tour (2 hours)

Meet your guide at the Swedish Parliament and enjoy a two-hour walking tour through Gamla Stan. The route includes Riddarholmen’s waterfront, cobblestone alleys, Stortorget square, the Royal Palace, and Stockholm Cathedral. The guide shares Swedish history from Viking times to present, focusing on stories linked to the streets you walk.

At the end of the tour, your guide will walk you directly to the boat at Skeppsbron. Plan to arrive at least 10 minutes before departure for boarding.

Part 2 – Silent Electric Boat Cruise (1 hour)

Board the boat next to the statue of Gustav III on Skeppsbron. The vessel carries a maximum of 34 passengers and operates fully on electricity, ensuring no engine noise or emissions. Its open design and low profile allow it to pass under bridges and through canals inaccessible to larger boats.

The cruise route passes the Parliament building from the water, continues along Djurgården and Östermalm, and covers areas typically viewed only from a distance. Blankets and cushions are available on board for added comfort.
