Easter 2026 takes place between 3–6 April, offering the perfect long weekend to explore Stockholm. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning to the Swedish capital, Easter is a great time to experience the city from the water.
Here’s our guide to the best things to do in Stockholm during Easter 2026 – from classic sightseeing cruises to archipelago tours and brunch on board.
During the Easter weekend (3–6 April 2026), several of Strömma’s popular boat tours and sightseeing experiences are operating. Here are some top experiences to book in advance.
One of the best ways to discover Stockholm is from the water. The Stockholm Highlights boat tour is one of our most popular sightseeing cruises.
This 2 hour 15 minute guided boat tour takes you under twelve bridges and through the lock between the Baltic Sea and Lake Mälaren. Along the way, you’ll learn about Stockholm’s history, architecture and neighborhoods – from Södermalm to Kungsholmen and Djurgården.
It’s the perfect introduction to the city during your Easter visit.
Departure point: Strömkajen, central Stockholm.
Looking for a shorter boat tour during Easter in Stockholm? The Royal Djurgården Boat Tour takes you through the narrow Djurgårdsbrunn Canal and around the island of Djurgården in just under an hour.
You’ll pass famous attractions such as the Vasa Museum and Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde, while enjoying peaceful canals and green surroundings.
A great option if you want to combine sightseeing with a museum visit or a walk on Djurgården.
Departure point: Strömkajen, central Stockholm.
Want to experience the famous Stockholm archipelago without planning a full-day trip? The Stockholm Archipelago Tour with guide is an ideal choice.
This cruise takes you out to more open waters, where you’ll see islands, nature and traditional archipelago scenery – all while returning to the city within a few hours. You can choose between a 1.5 to 2.5 hour boat tour.
It’s a perfect Easter activity if you want to experience Swedish nature close to the city.
Departure point: Nybroviken/Strandvägen, central Stockholm.
Make your Easter weekend extra special with a brunch cruise in the Stockholm archipelago.

Easter is the perfect time to discover Stockholm’s top attractions. The Hop On-Hop Off bus in Stockholm makes it easy to explore at your own pace.
Buses depart every 30 minutes between 10:00–16:00 and stop at major highlights such as the Old Town (Gamla Stan), City Hall and Djurgården.
Hop on and off as many times as you like with a 24- or 72-hour ticket – a flexible option for first-time visitors who want to see as much as possible during their Easter stay.
