Stockholm attractions

There’s a daily soap and bubble show at the Tom Tits Experiment! And, no… it’s not what you’re probably imagining. This is Sweden’s biggest science center, where young and old can get an interactive education in physics, math, technology, geography and illusions. Get a chance to hold your brain, power flashing lights via kinetic energy on a special bike, try the digital climbing wall (!) to improve your memory and muscles, and seriously... do not miss that soap and bubble show.

Get into a greener side of Stockholm by taking a cool Djurgården canal cruise, leaving from Strömkajen. The Djurgården canal was built by hand back in 1832 and a cruise along its waters will show you some of Stockholm’s most famous and impressive sights. See the Grand Palace - one of the world’s most famous, and a few of the city’s 57 bridges. Learn the history of the city and the Djurgården canal from a guide and on the way back, see the Stockholm skyline from a whole new angle.

The impressive Vasa Museum offers nautical fans the chance to stand on a resurrected warship which capsized and sank nearby in 1628 and spent 333 long years on the seabed. Alternatively the open-air historical museum of Skansen is a great way to help you get to grips with Swedish life, past and present. Walk through Sweden as it was in the 1900s and don’t miss lunch at the restaurant, where everything on the menu is prepared and cooked in the old tried-and-tested traditional way.

Stockholm’s a rather expensive city, so it makes sense to do it smart. And using the Hop-on Hop-off boats and buses to get around between attractions is one of the smartest decisions you’ll make here. Grab a sightseeing boat and see the city highlights like the Royal Palace, Vasa Museum, and Gröna Lund amusement park, from the water. The Hop-on Hop-off Bus gets you access to and from 25 different stops on the green Hop-on Hop-off buses and red City Sightseeing Worldwide buses.
