Loved it. Spectacularly pretty Old Town. If you feel like something different, buy a 24hr transport ticket and ride the underground. Each station is decorated differently and some of the artwork is incredible. ...
We took the combined bus/boat hop-on/hop-off for 2 days. Stockholm is NOT the Venice of the north, Amsterdam is a better comparator. The city was nice, not special and very expensive. The people were friendly. ...
Stockholm – we walked to the dock next to the ship to board the s.s. Emilie water taxi at 8:28am. We bought the all-day ticket at senior rate on the boat with a credit card. It took us to the Vasa museum, then at 10:38am to the market Square. We walked to the Royal Palace and viewed the changing of the guards and the parade. At 1pm we did a free walking tour from the Gamla Stan train station. ...
We got dropped to the centre by NCL's shuttle bus and spent time exploring vasa museum, Gamlastan Imperial palace and a river cruise - all of which was excellent.
We spent about 170 USD in all for 2 adults and 2 kids for everything including our lavish lunch ...
Ship docked in Nynashamn instead of Stockholm
1-hour bus shuttle (fee paid by guests) to Stockholm
Reduced time in Stockholm
Chaotic bus logistics for the return to the ship – exhausted seniors told to wait for 2 ½ more hours for the “correct” bus transport to return to ship, even though seating was available on the existing buses.
Ship docked on Saturday following Midsummer Festival kickoff – ...
Pre-purchased 48-hour Stockholm card and what a bargain! It combined admissions with the Hop On/Off bus/boat ticket. On day 1, we made reservations to take the shorter 50-minute boat ride at the end of the day. On day 2, we took the longer 135-minute boat ride to the lake and back through the locks, where it was amazing to see folks on the small boats holding onto ropes as the water rose/fell. ...
Only day of rain and not enough time in this city. Did the HOHO bus and then walked through old town. Tried Swedish pastry, coffee, beer. Wish we had more time... ...
