We arrived in Stockholm the next day. There wasn't a port so we had to anchor in the sea and take tenders to shore. The water was really choppy and rough.
We boarded our tour bus and drove through the Sodermalm, Kungsholmen and Djurdorden city districts.

Then we had a guided tour of City hall where the Nobel Prize banquet is held. I thought that the Gold Room, with 18 million mosaics, was very stunning. The mosiacs depict motifs from Swedish history. After the tour we had lunch at City Hall.

After lunch we had a walking tour in Gamla Stan. The Old Town dates back to the 13th century. It has medieval alleyways and cobbled streets. The buildings were influenced by the North German architectural style.
