Stockholm sits on fourteen islands and the tours worth paying for use that. These are the 15 worth booking ahead: boat loops through the inner archipelago, walking tours of the old town, and museum tickets that get you past the Djurgården queue. Prices, durations and group sizes sit on every entry, so you can settle this in one sitting.

“The Nobel Peace Prize Museum was excellent value for money. It’s very central and easy to find, which made our visit stress-free.

The cafe/bar has a good atmosphere too, though we didn't eat there, so can't judge the food.”
