Review of Stockholm’s hop-on hop-off bus and boat tour, with route details, practical tips, value advice, and honest drawbacks.
“Don’t buy your hop on hop off tickets in advance. Buy them on site. We bought our tickets through Viator in Stockholm. We boarded two different hop on hop off buses from two different companies and were told our tickets were no good because they were from yet another third company. $ 100 US down the toilet!”

“The boat was good and informative. However the boat didn't start its tour until after 10:00am and finished at 04:00pm. We would have had more time to look at everything at each of the stops if the boat ran for a longer time. Visiting the museum with the ship Vasa was brilliant.”

See Gothenburg by open-top bus and boat, with 24-hour freedom to visit Avenyn, Liseberg, Feskekôrka, and the harbor.
“Kombi zwischen Bus und Schiff was prima, die Haltestellen sind etwas schwer zu finden. Dafür ist der Busfahrer ordentlich und ruhig gefahren (nicht wie in Oslo, Busfahrer mit Bart besser meiden). Die Dame auf dem Schiff zur Erklärung was super, echt empfehlenswert. PS. öffentliche Toiletten sind in Göteburg Mangelware, bei Cafes gibt es häufig nur 1 Toilette für M / F / D und die muss noch bezahlt werden (Kreditkarte)”
