Excursions

Combined walking and boat discovery tour of Stockholm

A stroll through the narrow streets of the Old Town, the site where the first inhabitants settled in Stockholm. It takes in the courtyards and lanes of the city's oldest section, sights that many visitors miss.

Under the bridges of Stockholm

During this two-hour long boat trip, you’ll see almost the whole of Stockholm from the water, pass many famous buildings and learn a lot about Stockholm’s history. The trip takes you under 15 bridges and through two locks connecting Lake Mälaren and the Baltic.

City tour with visits  
As Stockholm is built on 14 islands it is no wonder that water has dominated the life of the city for centuries. During this tour your guide will tell you about Stockholm today as well as yesterday and point out attractions and shopping streets. Visit the City Hall, a masterpiece of 20^th century architecture and the site of the Nobel Prize festivities each year.

Svenskt Tenn is one of the most famous design companies in Sweden. It is strongly marked by its history, especially by the heritage of its founder Estrid Ericson and the designer Josef Frank.  Together they have created the foundation for Svensk Tenn's philosophy of furnishing.

Kosta Boda/ Orrefors

On Birger Jarlsgatan you find the Design-Shop which sells the amazing products of Kosta Boda and Orrefors, makers of famous Swedish glass.

Östermalmshallen
Saluhallen, at Östermalmstorg, is Stockholms oldest market hall. It was built in 1888 and is 28 metres high. Here you find everything you need for Swedish cuisine – from seafood, fresh fruit and vegetables to cheese, sausages and meat. 
Lunch will be served in  Lisa Elmqvist's fish restaurant in Östermalmshallen.

Drottningholm Palace

Drottningholm Palace is situated 20 minutes outside the city center and is the present home of the Royal Family. The history of the Palace and the Theatre is as fascinating as the building and grounds are beautiful. Built in 1581 by the King of Sweden, who finally christened the mansion Drottningholm (the Queens Island). The theatre is from 1754 and is the oldest theatre in Europe to be still staging performances.

After a cruise of three hours that includes coffee and pastry on board, we reach Sandhamn. Here we can stroll around the narrow streets in the small village, have a look at the boats in the harbour or visit the boutiques and cafés. Lunch will be served in one of the island's excellent restaurants. 

For those who wish to have a bit of an adventure, the trip from the city  to Sandhamn will be by RIB Boat which raches speeds of up to 50 knots.  Passengers will be quipped with suitable head to foot waterproof clothing.
This is a very exclusive tour of the archipelago and something out of  the ordinary.
