Archipelago Tour Stockholm

Discover the Stockholm Archipelago on an unforgettable boat tour

No visit to Stockholm is complete without a boat tour of the famous Stockholm Archipelago.

A short distance from the centre of Stockholm lies one of Sweden’s most beautiful natural areas: the Stockholm Archipelago, an impressive group of no fewer than 30,000 islands. Here you’ll find red wooden cottages, stunning nature and breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea.

During this relaxing boat trip of around two hours, you’ll discover part of the Archipelago. The combination of city and nature makes Stockholm a special city that is so beloved by travellers from all over the world.

Enjoy the unique Swedish landscape

During the cruise, you’ll sail past green islands, granite cliffs, tranquil bays and the iconic red cottages where Swedes love to spend their summers. Along the way, you’ll experience the peaceful atmosphere of the archipelago and discover why this is one of the Swedes’ own favourite holiday destinations.

In summer, the archipelago really comes to life. People swim, sail, walk and enjoy the long Scandinavian summer days. With a bit of luck, you might even spot seals or other wildlife along the way.

Departure from historic Gamla Stan

The Archipelago Tour departs from the Royal Palace in Gamla Stan, the historic centre of Stockholm. On board, an English-speaking guide shares fascinating stories about Stockholm, Swedish traditions, the royal family and the islands you pass by. So, during the trip, you’ll learn not only about the archipelago but also about Swedish culture and history. There’s also a bar on the boat where you can buy drinks and snacks whilst enjoying the view.

An absolute must-do during your city break to Stockholm

This boat tour is perfect for tourists who want to discover Stockholm in a different way. In a short space of time, you’ll get a wonderful glimpse of the nature and island life around the city, without having to travel far. Highlights of the tour include Fjäderholmarna and Tegelön, two well-known islands in the archipelago.

Whether you’re visiting Stockholm for the first time or already know the city, a boat trip through the Stockholm Archipelago is a unique experience that will make your stay complete.
