Stockholm: Amphibious Bus Land and Water Tour

Experience Stockholm like never before on a unique amphibious bus tour that takes you both on land and water. Discover the city’s rich history and iconic landmarks, including Gröna Lund, the Royal Palace, and Djurgården Island, from a fresh perspective.

Your journey begins as everyone boards the bus and heads toward the Royal Theatre. The guide introduces the tour and shares fascinating insights before turning your attention to the city’s sights. Travel along the chic Birger Jarl street, pass the vibrant Stureplan nightlife hub, and continue past the Royal Library, the 1912 Olympic Stadium, and Karlavägen, arriving at the picturesque Östermalm district.

Suddenly, the road changes from tarmac to gravel—and then the real adventure starts: the bus splashes into the water. Hold on tight to your cameras and phones as the vehicle glides into the water, offering an exhilarating sense of floating. As you cruise, hear stories about Djurgården Island, pass the Vasa Museum, and see Sweden’s oldest amusement park, Gröna Lund.

Prepare for postcard-perfect views as you approach Stockholm’s Old Town, where historic buildings date back to the 16th century. Marvel at the German Church in the heart of the city and Stockholm City Hall, renowned for its three golden crowns.

The tour continues along the shores of Södermalm, the largest of Stockholm’s 14 islands, and around Skeppsholmen Island, where you can see the Royal Palace and the historic 19th-century ship Af Chapman, once a naval station. Learn about the royal family and Sweden’s evolution from one of Europe’s poorest nations into a thriving industrial hub, now likened to Europe’s “Silicon Valley.” Feel the fresh waters of Sweden’s third-largest lake flow into the Baltic Sea as you sail.

Enjoy panoramic views of Strandvägen, one of Scandinavia’s most prestigious streets, and spot the ship of the beloved Pippi Longstocking.

Eventually, the tour returns to land. The bus engine roars as it drives back, passing the birthplace of the famous Stockholm syndrome, the city’s oldest building, and its oldest park, once a royal garden. Finish your adventure with a memorable photo alongside the singing captain, completing a truly unforgettable Stockholm experience.
