Choose from a number of sightseeing cruises to see the best of Stockholm – from the water! Stockholm’s archipelago is made up of some 30,000 islands, some populated, some small rocky islands.

These allow you to explore the surrounding 1,000 islands and incorporate Drottningholm Palace, the beautiful home of the Royal Family. Lunch and dinner cruises are also possible.

Or why not take on a challenge as a team and sail yourself round the city? GoBoats are available for hire and are equipped with picnic tables.

The museum also houses the Swedish Music Hall of Fame and the brand new Eurovision Museum! A great experience to visit, the museum can also be hired for private functions.

Within minutes of setting off on its maiden voyage in 1628, the Vasa Warship sank to the bottom of the bay of Saltsjön. Painstakingly raised in 1961, 333 years later, it now sits in a specially designed museum on the island of Djurgården. The museum is now Stockholm’s, and indeed Scandinavia’s, most visited museum. The different exhibitions show the history of the Vasa, the life of the ship before the disaster and how it was rediscovered and salvaged so many years later. There are also full scale models of parts of the ships and interactive areas for visitors. The museum can be hired as a venue for private events and would provide a stunning and unique backdrop for a corporate dinner.
