The final leg of the cruise. Another mistake on our part and hopefully you gain from our experience. Read some of the post from previous people who already took the same trip mostly took the Hop on Hop off (HOHO). So, we bought tickets before the trip not knowingly will be a tremendous waste of money and time. Just to let you know also that going to Stockholm from Nynashamn is a one hour train ride. Outside from the ship after the gate, on your right, there was a tent that sells tickets for $27 that also is good for bus rides. When you arrive at the Central Station, you go down to the right side where Mc Donald’s is located that would be the first station of the HOHO. We skipped the 2nd and 3rd stop since we knew that we were going to spend more of our time there and decided to stop at the 4th stop where a scenic view awaits after a short distance of walk. By the time we got back to ride another HOHO, it wasted more than 30 minutes of our time and the driver was VERY SLOW! At that point, we decided just to use the bus and explore ourselves. We went to Drottninggatan, NK for some shopping, walked at Kungstradgarden, visited Cathedral Storkyrkan, wondered around Gamla Stan and Stortorget Square, Royal Palace and Tessin Palace. We also crossed and walked at the narrowest alley which was awesome. We ended at Ostermalmstorg and got back to Central Station to catch the train going back. We missed Vasa Museum and I heard it was a must. So let me know how good it is. Read Less

Actually Nysahaven, a port some 20 miles from Stockholm, very pleasant to walk around with a chocolate shop and helpful tourist information Read Less

we caught the train in from Nynashamn and did the Rick Steves Gamla Stan walk including an extended visit to the Nobel Prize Musuem which was really cool to see. Read Less

We got here one day ahead and visited the Vassa Museum. I highly recommend it. we didn't have time to do anything else, but Stockholm is a beautiful city. Read Less

Good overview. Also spent several hours at the Vassa Museum. Do not miss it Read Less

Took the "one way ticket" shuttle bus Read Less

The first museum seemed more like it was meant for children than adults. The second site was better, especially the Gold Room. Read Less

We did this on our own using Rick Steves walking tour. Great city to walk in Read Less

We docked outside of the city, so had to take the Stromma Hop On Hop Off buses in. Wish that Stromma would have left a bit earlier, but we did not leave dock until almost 90 minutes after getting off ship as we had to wait until bus filled up almost completely before they would leave. That took precious time away from us, so I would not recommend them. While in Stockholm on our own we visited the Vasa museum, Skansen, the Abba museum and Gamla Stan. It was a hectic pace to see all that, but we wanted to squeeze in as much as possible. We especially enjoyed Skansen and Gamla Stan, especially a Swedish lunch at Magnus Ladulas in Gamla Stan. I would probably recommend not doing all this, as it was pretty exhausting. Unless you are a tremendous Abba fan I would skip the museum and focus on other sights. Unfortunately we had to wait almost an hour for the Stromma bus to take us back to the cruise and we came close to missing the ship! Again, I highly recommend not relying on the Stromma buses!

Stockholm was another interesting old city with lots to see and do (we toured the Vassa Museum which was spectacular) and tried to see all of the hi-lights before having to return by train (1 hour ride each direction). Read Less

A bus tour that gave a good overall view of the city with a couple of stops. Read Less

Free time gave us an opportunity to take a water taxi and visit the Wassa museum. Loved the town. Read Less

Shuttle bus to town. Pleasant walk by the river in the old town. We had visited before so no tour. Read Less

Took water boat Hop on Hop off. Could have walked to city from port. Read Less

We walked all over the Gamla Stan (old town) - scenic but nothing special relative to other ports. The Royal Palace is big, but not as nice as that in Amsterdam. Read Less

This was advertised as Stockholm but was in fact an hour away in Nynashamn . Wasn't impressed by it. There was nothing of interest there. We would have taken a train into Stockholm if we had known it was so boring. Read Less

Loved the cruise into Stockholm... Amazing! The city tour was good but again a bit lacking in substance. Read Less

Definitely need to go back, take the train from Nynashamn for a cheaper and more flexible way to get into the city Read Less

Beautiful city and spent the remaining day on Old Town. Had a very enjoyable day here seeing the sights and restaurants and bakeries! Read Less

We bought a day ticket for the local transport at the cruise terminal, £7.69 each for seniors. We then followed the blue line to find the bus stop near the terminal and took the bus, later changing to a tram, to the Abba Museum. Having seen this when Jayne Macdonald did the Baltic cruise in her programme, and all being mega Abba fans, this was a must do. Throw yourself in and do all the experiences there. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed their time, some 3 hours, at the ABBA experience. Afterwards, we took the local ferry to Gamla Stan (the old town), which was included in our local transport day ticket where we had a lovely local lunch at Ardbeg Embassy, then wandered and tourist shopped on the way to picking up the ships shuttle. This was when we found that there had been major demonstrations that day holding up the upper end of the old town - none of which had impacted us until now. The ships shuttles had been held up by the stopped traffic. There was no need to worry though, after being directed to the new pick up place for the shuttle, and having a grand tour of outer Stockholm to find a way round to getting back to the ship, there was never any worry that the ship would wait for us. If we had known about the delay though, we would have just used the local ferries and our all day tickets to get back to the ship - it would defintely have been much quicker, if less eventful.

Very good guide and we enjoyed this tour very much. Read Less

A very nice place but felt a little flat (on a Sunday Morning) after the beauty and madness of Russia. Good transfer bus laid on. Read Less

We went to the Vasa and then Skansen, which was perfect for the kids. Read Less

Again, not enough time and not enough options. We spent as much time leaving port as we did in the town. Very disappointing. Read Less

bus and local boat - very usefull Read Less
