Full description

Stockholm is a city of islands, which means it’s also a city of bridges. This longer sightseeing cruise threads under many of them, travelling between the salt water of the Baltic and the fresh water of Lake Mälaren by way of a lock, something few visitors experience.

Along the route you’ll see the waterfronts of Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen, City Hall, the cliffs of Södermalm and quieter residential shores. Recorded commentary through individual headphones is available in several languages, so you can follow along at your own pace.
