Compare Stockholm’s top museums, palaces, cruises, and buses with one flexible Go City Pass, including the Vasa Museum and 50+ attractions.
“Since public transport is expensive the hop on hop off and boat tours are a good value to move around and see everything dirong the day. The only issue is that it stops early, so qould need to complement with other trabsport at nighr or plan to end in an area that is walkable to hotel. Other issue was the signs for the stops. Some atractions are not included but the most important for us was the Vasa museum and fotografika and were happy to bundle those up. There are a bunch more but need a lot of time to take advantage of all of them. We used for two…”

Explore Tim Bergling’s life and music at Stockholm’s interactive Avicii Experience, with unreleased tracks, audio guidance, and hands-on exhibits.

See Stockholm by bus and boat with a 24- or 72-hour pass, linking Gamla Stan, Djurgården, museums, the palace, and waterfront stops.
“We were in Stockholm on our own before a cruise. We booked the Hop-On Hop-Off 72 hour tour by bus and boat of Stockholm on-line and wish we had of used Hop-On Hop Off instead of expensive cruise sponsored shore excursions in other stops on our cruise. I like to take photos and using the recommendations of Rick Steves and the bus we covered a lot of Stockholm in an efficient and inexpensive way. Favorites were the Vasa Museum, Gamla Stan and Skansen. We also enjoyed the Ice Bar which is one of the stops.”
