What to do and see in Stockholm, Stockholm County: The Best Bodies of Water
The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

Mälaren may be Sweden's third-largest freshwater lake, but with all the islands, peninsulas, channels and bays there is hardly ever a big expanse of water to be seen. Stockholm itself is on Lake Mälaren, but also not far from the sea. Thus I travelled from Stockholm by ferry to the Aland islands in the Baltic Sea, but I also took a boat from that city to Drottningholm, further west on Lake Mälaren. On both trips it was fun to look out over the water to the coastal scenery. Sometimes there were just smooth granite rocks and trees to be seen, then 'Stuba' (Swedish summerhouses) and on a sunny day in July a lot of small boats, watersports and sunbathing at beaches.

Looking for something to do after arriving in Stockholm the night before, we opted to take the Grey Line Canal cruise (about 1 hour) which gives a terrific overview of Stockholm's waterfront. You pass many of the sites nearby like the Vasa Museum and the Royal Palace, which are easily walkable after your cruise is over. A great way to get a quick overview of the sites of the city.
