Under The Bridges Boat Tour

Boat arriving at Strömkajen alongside Royal Palace inwards background.
Last calendar week I was at the premiere for the new sightseeing boat terminal at Strömkajen. So I, of course, took a sightseeing boat tour piece I was there! The society Strömma has a few dissimilar boat tours, precisely this fourth dimension I took the Under the Bridges tour (a personal favourite) which is their most comprehensive tour.
One of xv bridges...
One hr too fifty minutes long, this tour takes you lot nether xv bridges too through 2 locks. Stockholm is located at the betoken where Lake Mälaren flows into the Baltic Sea too you lot take away to go through locks to become from 1 side of the metropolis to another! It is guided (audio guide) inwards several languages too you lot teach to come across both the historic too novel parts of Stockholm, equally good equally both nature too urban. I unremarkably recommend this for visitors to create at the offset of their visit, to teach a experience for the metropolis too a skillful overview.
...and 1 of 2 locks!
The tour departs at the hold upward on of every hr from Strömkajen too during the peak summertime weeks they cause got departures betwixt 10am too 7pm. You tin also grab the tour at Nybroviken at five minutes past times every hour. The tour costs 220 SEK for adults too 110 SEK for children betwixt the ages of six too xi (free for children nether 6).
Gamla Stan (old town) waterfront.
You tin purchase tickets on their website (linked above), at the ii terminals (Strömkajen too Nybroviken), at the Tourist Information Center or, if you lot are staying at the Rival Hotel, speak to me too I tin mass your tickets. If you lot exclusively cause got a curt fourth dimension inwards Stockholm too experience similar (almost) 2 hours is likewise long to pass on a tour, thus campaign their Royal Canal Tour (50 minutes long) instead!
Waterfront of Södermalm.
You never know what you lot volition come across from the boat! Like stone climbers...
