Great walkable city. Do the Vassa Museum first. Take the hop on hop off boat from the cruise doc. You can buy tickets on the boat. Can get around the harbor to see all sites on this boat. Very informative. ...

The sea approaches were wonderful, tiny island after tiny island with wonderful houses and the channel comes in very close ...
