Stockholm, one of the world’s most beautiful capitals, set across 14 islands and around one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved medieval city centres.
It offers a wealth of museums, theatres, sights, attractions and events, whether your interest lies in history, art, opera, modern dance, traditional handicraft, contemporary design, fashion or virtually anything else. Thanks to the city’s compact size, you can see and do most things within a short space of time - which makes it a perfect cruise destination.
Further more, situated in the heart of the Baltic region and having all the amenities necessary for post and pre-cruise stays including first class hotels, frequent over seas and international flight connections, good infrastructure, effective ground handling and tour services, Stockholm is also the perfect choice for turnarounds.
For visitors who prefer a holiday packed with cultural and historical experiences, there is a vast selection of sights and attractions scattered across the entire city centre and its surroundings. With over 70 museums throughout the city itself, there is something to suit everyone’s taste. In the centre are Gamla Stan (the Old Town) and Riddarholmen, two islands that together make up northern Europe’s largest and best preserved medieval city.
The Old Town is home to the Royal Palace, the Nobel Museum, several beautiful churches, narrow, picturesque streets and an abundance of boutiques, restaurants and cafés. On the recreation island of Djurgården you can explore the Vasa Museum, home to the richly ornamented 17th century sailing vessel, which sank on her maiden voyage. Here you also find the open-air museum of Skansen, presenting Sweden’s cultural history in a park-like setting.
A visit to the Stockholm City Hall, a remarkable architectural landmark and the site of the annual Nobel Prize Banquet, shouldn’t be missed either. One of the most enjoyable activities while in Stockholm is of course shopping and the opportunities are almost endless. Here you can find everything from splendid antiquities to the most recent new trends. Stockholm’s restaurants and chefs are renowned for their culinary creativity, and the restaurant environment and atmosphere are part of the total experience. The best of all, everything is within easy reach.
