As all ports, just walked off ship-10 minutes to little mermaid.  Walked to The Hard Rock Cafe and bought my pin. We booked a Segway tour with toursCHP.com.  Never did it before, but learned in ten minutes and had a great time-two hours. Ate lunch in the city at a sidewalk cafe. Walked around some more and then backed to ship.

Copenhagen

Took the Hop on Hop off boat that is right at the dock  as soon as we could, and first stop was Vasa Museum-get there early! Que was huge when we left after an hour. Took the boat over to Old town, found the HRC, bought a pin, ate and used the free Internet there. Caught the boat at the Royal sightseeing station and back to ship.

Stockholm

Walked off and took the HOHO bus right at port. Rock church -OK, bus tour is a good way to check out the city.

Helsinki

We were always on the go, had an excellent tour guide, Elena!  Two Russian lunches included. Subway station trip (only 6 months old), beautiful stations. No trouble getting back to ship, customs on day one only, second day no paperwork needed. Nightlight of  the cruise.

St. Petersburg

Again, easy walk off to old town, had downloaded the walking tour and had a great day.  Climbed St. Olav's church and part of the old wall (both cost a few Euros).  Definitely do your souvenir shopping here. Best prices for all ports! There was shopping set up in the square and did buy some Amber there. 
Gothenburg Sweden was our last port (not on this list).  Have to take the ship's shuttle, no other choice. Only thing at port is the Volvo Museum, which we did after town. Easy walking town once you get there, nice busy main street (with the HRC) also nice river walk to the Haga area.  OK port, but not exciting.

Tallinn

Loved St Petersburg!!!!  Did so much in two days, couldn't do a night tour too! Unbelievable, can't say enough about it!

Nice size balcony, lots of closet space and shelves for all over stuff, bathroom small, but fine for us. Stored suitcases under bed. Nice location.

Trivia games were fun, even tho we didn't win anything this time-one on the fun places to meet other cruisers!Table mates were three couples, two who traveled together and one that decided after three nights they didn't like the late time.
