City trip Stockholm

Day 1: Arrival

Upon arrival at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, your driver and guide will be waiting for you. You will be taken to your hotel in the heart of the city. After checking in, the evening is yours to enjoy a first stroll or a quiet bite to eat.

Day 2: The archipelago by RIB boat & the Vasa Museum

After breakfast, you see Stockholm from the water. Board a RIB boat and sail past the old town of Gamla Stan, green Djurgården, and the Gröna Lund amusement park. As soon as you leave the city behind, the speed picks up towards the islands. You sail between dozens of rocky islets, wooden summer houses, and small fishing villages.

After the boat trip, you take a walk across Djurgården, the city's museum island. Here, you visit the Vasa Museum. The focal point is the 17th-century warship Vasa, which sank on her maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged from the water almost completely intact over three centuries later.

Day 3: Royal Drottningholm & the wooden town of Vaxholm

Today, you discover two very different sides of island life. You start at Drottningholm Palace, the residence of the Swedish royal family and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stroll through the baroque gardens and view the historic rooms of the castle.

Then you sail to Vaxholm, one of the most famous hubs in the archipelago. The town stands out for its colourful wooden houses and marina. Walk through the streets, browse the local shops, and find a spot on a terrace by the water for lunch. For those who wish, there is time to visit the historic Vaxholm Fortress, which has guarded the sea route to Stockholm since the 16th century. Towards the end of the afternoon, you cruise back to the city centre at your leisure.

Day 4: Heading home
