#49 Djurgården Ferry (or Stockholm by boat)

If you have an SL travelcard (which is pretty much everyone, it's impossible to live without even if you're only in Stockholm  for a few days), then you can get the Djurgårds-Farjan (Djurgården ferry) for FREE!

If you don't have the time, interest or money to get a real boat tour around Stockholm, then this my friends is an excellent alternative. This commuter ferry leaves a few times an hour everyday from about 9am until about 7pm in winter, and up to midnight in summer. It offers some nice views of Stockholm from the water, and it won't cost you a crown!

It goes from Slussen (near Gamla stan/Old town and Katarina hissen viewing point) to Djurgården, right beside the Gröna Lund Tivoli amusement park. It usually also stops in the middle at Skeppsholmen, which is home to Moderna Museet (Museum of modern art).

It takes about 10 minutes in total, and despite the fresh sea air and the great views, it also helps in connecting some main tourist attractions - the Old Town near Slussen to the plethora of museums on Djurgården like Skansen, Vasa, Nordiska, Absolut Spirit and the soon to be opened Abba Museum.

So there you have it, another mildly exciting and fun thing to do in Stockholm!

Bon Voyage!
