MsSommelier Posted August 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2017 For my fellow Europa travelers who have been to Stockholm: Did you also anchor and tender into Stockholm's Old Town (Gamla Stan)? We are doing Stockholm on our own (no tour) and were hoping to take the "Hop On, Hop Off" boat(s), but they stop running Sept 3 and we are there Sept 5. Any tips to share? Thanks much!

cathaana Posted August 11, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2017 A beautiful slow cruise right into the city. Anchored at Gamla Stan and then a short tender hop. Definitely a port I want to do again some day. We didn't do a tour and just walked around by ourselves. Super easy to do. If you haven't done the Vasa, go visit the museum.

MsSommelier Posted August 12, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thank you, Cathaana, We are planning to go to the Vasa, just haven't figured out the best way to get there yet, because the hop on/hop off boats are no longer running. Probably bus or taxi. We enjoy walking but it seems quite a distance from the tender pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathaana Posted August 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I don't remember how long we walked exactly but it was definitely easily doable. I think around 30 minutes each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vasa Museum website provides various options on how to reach it: http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/visit/getting-here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSommelier Posted August 12, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thank you both, As someone who gets lost going around the block and almost never takes a bus (S-Bahn and U-Bahn mostly), I generally feel better walking, since I can stop often and look at the map!
