- Compact sightseeing tour. Stockholm is spread across 14 islands and we will drive through many of them during our tour. During the tour you can hear and experience the colourful history of Stockholm from Birger Jarl's time on the 13th century to this day. Stockholm is the first city that got the title of European Green Capital. This can be seen in the many parks and water in Stockholm.
- Vasa Museum and the City Hall are the most popular attractions of Stockholm. Vasa Museum is on the island of Djurgården. The museum displays the only almost fully intact 17th century ship that has ever been salvaged. The warship Vasa sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 and was raised 300 years later. Also, the Nobel award is organized every year on the 10th of December in the City Hall.
- You will get a guided tour in the city showing the sights and a walk in the old town. (No museums included unfortunately). The three hour version contains more walking in the old town with the guide showing you around.
