No. A fixed price is a guarantee that the price will not become more expensive but also that it cannot become cheaper.

A taximeter price can become cheaper but also more expensive depending on traffic, unforeseen roadworks and etc since a taximeter price is based on time and distance travelled.

 

So they are giving you a choice of either take the "safe bet" or "gamble" on the taximeter price.

OIC - Okay I will tell - I would rather have the fixed price then. Never liked gambling:D

No they are not overpricing you.

 

You will need the big cars since the regular cars only seat 4 passengers. 315SEK for 5/6 people is 63/52 SEK ($7.5/$6.2/ per person which imo is reasonable.

Possible you can fit into one small car and one big car (mini van), I don't know if their big car seats 7 passengers, I think they do but you should ask them when you book.

Hi Desdichado,

I understand the part of booking 2 vehicles for my party - one for 4 people and 1 for Van. The one I don't understand is how they come they quoted me a fixed price and a taximeter for each vehicle. Does it mean I have to pay the fixed price and the taximeter for each vehicle?

Ports of Stockholm have the ship listed as S167: http://www.portsofstockholm.com/vessel-calls/

 

From S167 it's not that far, "just across the water" about 1.5km with hoho boats, about 2km with ferry and on foot.

By road the distance is about 4.5km

Hi Desdichado,

Taxi Stockholm is quoting me a fixed price and taximeter price. See Example below. We are a party of 11

Stadsgårdskajen kajplats 167 à Vasamueum Pick up at 7:45 for 11 people from Berth 167

- For the smaller car there is a fixed price at 240 SEK and a taximeter price at 235 SEK and for the bigger car we have a fixed price at 315 SEK and a taximeter price at 305 SEK

Are they overpricing me? If so, is it better just to book Uber?

Thank You. How far is S167 to Vasa Museum. Taxi ride time? If I request to be picked at the port at 7:45. We'll we be at the museum by 8:15?

Hi Desdichado,

Can you please help me here. we are arriving in Stockholm on Aug. 16 at Norwegian Star.

I thought our Berth would be S167 but Norwegian is telling me its Frihamnen alternative is S167.

I am trying to book a taxi and I need to tell them which port/berth they should pick us up.

How far are these berths to Vasa Museum.

No. Towards=the destination of that particular line, Gamla Stan stop is called Gamla Stan and it is the first stop after T-centralen. Farsta Strand is the end stop of that line.

Thank You. How far is S167 to Vasa Museum. Taxi ride time? If I request to be picked at the port at 7:45. We'll we be at the museum by 8:15?

As for the subway art, see info under Arts museums (and similar):

in this post http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=49023362&postcount=2

 

Since you will need a ticket to get access to the stations, I would suggest that the taxi drop you off at Kungsträdgården subway station from where you go with the subway (via t-centralen) to Gamla Stan.

 

From Kugsträdgården;

Blue line #10 towards Hjulsta or blue line #11 towards Akalla , at T-centralen change to Green line #17 towards Skarpnäck or green line #18 towards Farsta strand.

 

The entire journey shouldn't take more then 8-10 minutes+time to check out the arts.

Thank you - so Farsta strand is the subway stop for Gamla Stan? When we get out of the subway, which part of Gamla Stan do we see. We are planning to do the walking tour.

Hi Desdichado

I heard that Stockholm Subway has the longest art exhibit in the world.

I need your advice. This is our DIY itinerary:

Arrive on S167

[*]Booked a taxi to go to Vasa Museum

[*]afer Vasa Museum, booked another taxi to go to Gamla Stan

[*]Taxi will pick up at 2:30 PM to go back to ship. ship leaves at 4:00 PM

My question is we want to see some subway arts. Where is the best station to go and view these arts. How do I include that in my itinerary.

Or go with bus #53 from Räntmästartrappen to Londonviadukten. The bus' destination will be either Henriksdalsberget or Finnberget.

Okay Thanks. Will save this thread on my "little vacation binder":)

It depends on which ship you are on and where it docks.

 

Frihamnen is too far to walk but Stadsgården berths (S160 and S167) or Strömmen/bouy is walkable.

 

Walking from southern end of Gamla Stan to Stadsgården S167 will take approximative 35 minutes according to Google Maps+extra time for stops to enjoy the view/taking photos.

 

S167: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/59.3226926,18.0731873/59.3193431,18.072817/59.3175349,18.0829036/59.3171625,18.0894468/59.315598,18.0954528/59.3144759,18.0988747/59.3160205,18.1034782/@59.3161794,18.0950177,618m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!4m1!3e2

 

I don't know if your ship have a requirement to be on-board at a certain amount of time before the ship's scheduled estimated time of departure.

So you need to check that with your cruise line.

 

If your ships is moored at the buoy in Strömmen, the walking time from Old Town is a matter of a few minutes only.

 

S160: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/59.3227964,18.0731708/59.3187162,18.0779486/59.3178006,18.0827976/59.318192,18.083731/@59.3173249,18.0789133,16.5z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e2

 

S160 alternate (extra de-tour route):

Thank you. My Ship is docked on S167. We can book for a taxi at 3:00 to go to the port then.

Hi Desdichado,

How far is Gamla Stan to the Port. Our ship leaves at 16:00 (4:00 PM).

We plan to leave Gamlan Stan at 3:00. Is it too far to walk?

Just tell the concierge what time you want to leave, and they will have everything ready. We left the hotel at 1pm, the ship left at 4. Had plenty of time.

Thank you will do.

If you are willing and able to get yourself around Stockholm via public transportation, you can do a lot of this same itinerary (with more time at Vasa and in Gamla Stan) on your own for, what I imagine would be, a fraction of the cost.

 

Last year we did "Stockholm-in-a-Day" using public transportation (bus to/from port and ferry to Djurgarden for the Vasa Museum), Free Walking Tours Stockholm for a 2-hour tour of Gamla Stan (not just the 1 hour you get on the above tour), more walking around with the Rick Steves guide and at least 2 hours in the Vasa Museum, including one of the free tours they offer. We also visited the Royal Coin Cabinet (interest in numismatics), but you could use that time for something else that might interest you.

 

BTW, we just took snacks and water with us for the day instead of stopping for lunch. I think it's a good thing we did. Our tablemates told us about stopping for lunch (a plate of herring and a beer each) in Gamla Stan while on a SPB tour and it cost them a small fortune.

Thanks Gradut - we have taken everybody's advice and we will do it on our own in Stockholm

We were on Holland America, Zuiderdam, and it was scheduled to leave at 4. However, the captain changed to 5pm. So we were done with the SPB tour by 2 pm and they take you back to the ship, with nothing to do for 3 more hours. For 8 people they charged $320 for 2 more hours. As I said, if I did it again, I would do it on our own. Public transportation. Use Rick Steve's guide books.

 

A couple of us in our group went into the Nobel museum. Was OK, but not great, unless you are very interested in this sort of thing.

Hi LCD Thank you for your input. My group decided to do the DIY at Stockholm. since we are a big group, it was feasible to book taxi rides. So all taxi rides are all booked for the whole day.

No its first come first served but I found this news item on the ports website.

 

But I´m sure that they will get you a taxi if none is ready.

Hi Danish Viking

We are a big group - 13 in our party. Think its better if we reserve a limo service to pick us up from our hotel to the port?

coming back, we will be a party of 6 going straight to the airport. Think if we reserve a limo from the port to the airport would come out cheaper?

No problem with SPB tours. They were great. You get lots of local information that way from the local guides. As was mentioned in another post, we just felt Stockholm would have been very 'user friendly' to do it ourself. SBP tours was done by 2pm, and the ship didn't leave until 5. We then payed extra ($80 per person) for 2 hours extra.

This is what SPB Tour is telling us about the itinerary IF we decide to book with them. It looks like they will finish at 15:40. Our boat leaves at 16:00

Is this the same as what you have taken? So far we are planning to do it on our own but for a 5 hour tour I thought this is not bad. Now I am considering this. Read below

Stockholm Highlights Tour itinerary - Norwegian Star - 16th of August

*This itinerary has been adjusted with the arrival and departure time of your ship in mind.

*Tour groups are limited to only 24 people.

08:45 : 09:00

Meet and greet at the harbor.

09:00 : 09:20

Start your day with a short panoramic drive through Stockholm. If your cruiseship docks in Stockholm’s port Stadsgården, you will first take a ride through Södermalm, Stockholm’s biggest island. If your ship docks in Stockholm’s port Frihamnen you will have a panoramic drive through the popular recreactional areas: Gärdet and Djurgården.

09:35 : 10:50

Inside visit: Upon arriving to Djurgården, you will have a guided visit in the famous Vasa Museum with the world’s best-preserved 17th century warship, which sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged in 1961.

10:55 : 11:25

Back on the bus, you will continue with the panoramic drive through Stockholm. The bus will take you through Östermalm, the posh district of Stockholm, along Strandvägen, Stockholm’s most beautiful boulevard with hundreds of boats on one side and elegant buildings on the other. From the bus you will see sights such as the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Raoul Wallenbergs Torg, Kungsträdgården, Riksdag, The Houses of the Swedish Parliament, The Royal Palace, The Royal Opera and much more.

11:30 : 12:00

Begin the walking tour of Gamla stan, giving you the chance to explore charming Old Town up close. You will begin at th e Royal Palace and make your way through the streets of the city. You will see Storkyrka (Coronation Church), the Finnish Church, Järnpojke (at only 15cm, the tiniest public sculpture!)

12:00 : 13:00

Free time on your own in the Old Town. Enjoy some of the sights on your own, enjoy lunch or a coffee and pastry at your leisure, or do some shopping.

One suggestion for your free-time: A visit to Storkyrka, Stockholm’s Cathedral also known as Coronation Church (entrance is 40 SEK, or approximately 6 USD), or ask your guide for other ideas!

13:00 : 13:30

Refreshed and with new energy, we start the second part of the Old Town Walk where we will pass Stortorget (the Old Town market square), the Nobel Museum, Tyska Kyrkan (German Church), and Stockholm’s narrowest alley.

13:40 : 14:00

Meet back at the bus and head back to the port.

14:00

Back at the ship

Tour price includes the following services:

Professional English-speaking tour guide for 5 hours

Air-conditioned vehicle in Copenhagen for duration of tour

Entrance fee for and guided tour of the Vasa Museum

Guided tour of Gamla stan, Stockholm's Old Town

We stayed at the Radisson Blu Royal next to the central train station. About $400 per night. Included breakfast, which was great. Others in our group stayed at the Scandic Palace. The Scandic Palace is just a little further to the train station, but is closer to the shopping streets. The HoHo's stop by each one. Pricing is never what you think. Will say $250 or so, but that is before tax, which was $100-$150 per night.

 

We took the train, luggage and all, to the central station, then walked to the Blu, about 2 blocks.

 

Taxi from the Blu to the ship was 300 kroner for a taxi that held 8 people. Probably less for a regular size. About $45, so about $6 USD per person.

may I ask how did you book your taxi from Hotel to the cruise ship? we are a big group - 11 people

I have to really, really disagree with this itinerary for Stockholm, specifically about using the HOHO buses to get around Stockholm.

 

I had a friend that went on a Baltic cruise after I did, and their Stockholm trip was basically a disappointing dud because they took that HOHO bus and didn't really see that much with the HOHO bus.

 

Yes, the HOHO bus are close to the cruise ship docks while you'll have to walk to take the bus or subway. But, once my friend got on the HOHO bus, they had to wait a long time for the HOHO bus to fill up before it would leave.

 

Then, there's the circuitous route the HOHO bus takes:

 

https://www.redsightseeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Red-Bus-Map-2016.pdf

 

You go around Stockholm but have to pass every not-interesting sight and stop before you get to the Vasa, which is like the last stop on that route. It would be much faster and cheaper to just take a bus or subway to get to the Vasa then take the HOHO bus. A taxi wouldn't be cheap, but at least, it would take you directly to the Vasa museum.

 

Or, look at the tripadvisor reviews for Stockholm's HOHO bus where the terrible and poor ratings far exceed excellent ratings. People are writing scathing reviews of the HOHO bus with titles like "don't get ripped off", "terrible", "one to avoid", etc...

 

And, then, you take the HOHO bus from Vasa and Skansen to Old Town but you'll have to waste more time on that circuitous route. If anybody insists on taking a HOHO bus, it would make more sense to do Old Town and then go to Vasa because the Old Town stop comes before the Vasa stop.

 

There's no way you could see all that if you take the HOHO bus.

I do agree with you regarding Hoho bus. Hoho bus is only good if you are in that city for at least 3 days in order to maximize the use. For a day, I can just imagine the thousands of cruise passengers using those buses for the span of 6 - 7 hours and usually there are 2 - 3 cruise ships that are docked at the same time.

OK, good to know. We booked SPB tours in Stockholm because I had read that everything was really spread out. Not central as in Helsinki or Tallinn. I'll re-investigate Stockholm. Thanks for the info.[/quote

 

We booked SPB tour for our Berlin Tour and St. Petersburg. Tallin, we booked at Toursby local for a 6 hour tour. Helsinki, we booked a walking tour at Happy Helsinki and Stockholm? DIY

 

Bear in Mind we are a big group, more than 10 so we divided the prices at Tallin and Helsinki came out dirt cheap.

 

For your information - Happy Helsinki gives a free walking tour if your group is 10 people or less and in Stockholm there is also a free walking tour at Gamla Stan.

Hi! We're about to go on the Regal Baltic cruise and will be doing 3 nights in Copenhagen first. After looking through Rick Steeve's book and some CC off and on, we think we'll buy the Copenhagencard when we first arrive. We have Princess transfers to and from our hotel so don't need it for that but it sounds like an easy way for all our other transportation and places-to-visit needs. We like the idea that after we pay once, we can pretty much stop in anywhere that we pass without weighing the cost value, plus we can go to Tivoli or another place we like once every 24 hours if desired. But, any input would be appreciated. Also, is it easy to find bathrooms when on our own and do we need coins/bills for them (if so about how much?) Thanks!

Go to the Wonderful Copenhagen Thread and you will find your answers. Danish Viking has been helping us visitors a lot

Took the Holland America 12 day cruise.

 

 

St Petersburg. Used SPB tours, private tour for 8, plus added on an evening at the Fabrege museum. Made for a long first day, but you only are there once, so see it all. Incredible sights. Wouldn't want to live there.

 

Doing the same thing as what you did in St. Petersburg. After the Faberge Museum evening option, where did you go after that. We requested for additional hour in the evening to do go around the city.Any suggestion?

Stockholm--From the ship's berth in Frihamnen, it was easy to follow the blue line out of the port area to the road. Right across the street is the #76 bus stop which will take you into the city. You cannot purchase bus tickets from the driver in Stockholm, so you have to buy your tickets in advance. Normally, this would not be a problem at the port, but the automatic machine was not operating and there was only one person at the office selling tickets. Because of the large number of people wanting to buy tickets, it took us about 40 minutes of waiting in line before we got our tickets. Because we did not want to go through this process again, we purchased an all-day ticket for 115 SEK. (We thought we'd have to pay an additional 20 SEK for a re-loadable card, but the woman at the kiosk was selling only paper tickets, so we didn't have that additional cost. If you buy from a automatic machine, you might have to pay for a re-loadable card.) Also, only credit cards could be used at the ticket office, so be sure to have one when you disembark. Also, be sure to pick up one of the free bus maps at the ticket office--it came in handy. .

 

Should you use the automatic machine at Frihamnen to buy your ticket, here are the directions I wrote down from the Rick Steves book:

 

"If you buy from a machine, getting the correct ticket can be tricky:

First, select “English”

Second, choose “Purchase and Load Tickets”

Third, choose “All Tickets”

Now, you have to arrow down past several choices you don’t want to either “Zone A Ticket Full (for a single ride—36 SEK) or “24 Hours Ticket Full” (for an all day ticket – 115 SEK + 20 SEK for card) Note: The 24-hour travelpass is valid for use on the ferries between Slussen and Djurgarden."

 

There are several stops on the #76 line, depending on where you want to start your day. The stops include Djurgardsbron (at the bridge a short walk from the Vasa museum and other Djurgarden sights), Nybroplan, Kungstradgarden (near the Opera House and the beginning of the RS self-guided tour of the modern city), Slottsbacken (by the palace in Gamla Stan), Rantmastartrappan (at the southern end of Gamla Stan), Slussen,, then through Sodermalm and back the way it came.

 

We got off the bus at Slottsbacken and started our day at the free Royal Coin Cabinet museum near the Royal Palace. This is called the "best money museum in Europe" and if you have any interest in coins, you shouldn't miss it. In addition to the free admission, there are free audioguides in English--just ask for one. The staff at this museum was so friendly!

 

After our visit to the interesting coin museum, we went to do the Free Walking Tour Stockholm tour of Gamla Stan which began at 1pm in front of the tram station (T) at Malatorget 13 in Gamla Stan. (Rick Steves also includes a walking tour of Gamla Stan and the modern city in his guidebook.) We met our guide, Karina, who was carrying a blue "Free Walking Tour" sign and our group of approximately 20 tourists took off for a 90 minute tour. Karina did an excellent job of showing us the highlights of Gamla Stan and I thought this was a great introduction to the old city. We saw our dinner tablemates in town on their SPB tour (which was a much larger group than ours) and they told us that they were very disappointed with it. Like all "Free" Tours, we tipped Karina at the end of the tour.

 

After the walking tour ended at 2:30 pm, we walked down to the ferry at Slussen and caught the ferry over to Djurgarden. This was easy to do (the fare is included in the 24-hour bus ticket) and it was enjoyable ride over to the island. We got off the ferry and had a leisurely stroll to the Vasa Museum (and were so glad we weren't going to the amusement park--it was packed since it was such a nice day.) We arrived at the Vasa Museum around 3:30 pm and there were no lines to get into the museum.

 

We started our visit at the Vasa by watching the film which talks about how they discovered and raised the Vasa. It was fascinating and should not be missed. As soon as the film ended, it was time for the 4pm tour (30 minutes long) in English. This tour focused on the ship itself and was well worth taking. It doesn't really matter which order you see the movie and take the tour, but I'd do both.

 

After the tour ended at 4:30 pm, we had another 90 minutes to see the ship and the museum and we needed all of that time. The ship itself is fascinating and the exhibits in the museum are excellent. From the Vasa Museum website, there is an audiotour in English which you can download to your phone or MP3 player. I actually forgot about it until afterwards and listened to it on the ship the next day. It was a good audiotour, but not really necessary since all the signage in the museum is in English. If you want to download the audiotour, go to: http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/visit/mp3-guide/

 

We left the Vasa Museum at closing time (6pm) having spent 2.5 hours there. I would allow at least 2 hours to tour this museum.

 

It was now time to head back to the ship. We walked up to the Djurgardsbron stop for the #76 bus at the end of the bridge and took it to the "Magazin 3" stop. From there, it is an easy walk back to the ship.

 

Just a note on eating in Stockholm--Food is expensive. Our dining tablemates ate in Stortorget (because that's where their SPB tour left them for lunch) and said they spent 600 SEK (nearly $70) for two plates of fried herring and two beers. That made us glad that we had brought our water bottles and a snack from the ship. If you do choose to dine in Stockholm, Rick Steves recommends Grillska Husket–Stortorget 3-- "A cheap and handy cafeteria run by Stockholms Stadsmission, a charitable organization helping the poor. It’s situated on the old square with indoor and outdoor seating (tranquil garden up the stairs and out back). Fine daily specials and a hearty salad bar. Specials available 11am – 2pm. Café with salads and sandwiches open until 6pm." Also, we saw a Vapiano's restaurant near the T-station in Gamla Stan. It's a European chain restaurant which serves Italian food (pizza, pasta, salads) which you order and pick-up yourself (no table service). We eat at Vapiano's in the D.C. area and enjoy it very much.

 

While we had another day in Stockholm, we needed a "recovery" day on the ship so did not go back for more sightseeing. So, on to...

 

Next: Copenhagen--Another Day of Touring and Debarkation

I plan to take the Gamla Stan Walking Tour too, did it end where you have started in front of the train station? I thought it was a 2 hour tour but it looks like it's only 1.5 hours.

Most of the people we met on our recent Baltic Cruise did their sightseeing via guided tours and HO/HO buses. Those options are certainly valid ones, especially for those with mobility issues or a lack of time for pre-cruise research. However, I had the time (and interest) in researching a cruise in which we could explore the ports on our own, except for St. Petersburg, which we visited with ALLA Tours on their 2-day Grand Tour (and which I highly recommend). For those interesting in doing something similar, here's how we did it.

 

Research--The "bible" for me was the Rick Steves "Northern European Cruise Ports" guidebook which I checked out from my local library. (Luckily, nobody else from my area seemed to be making a similar trip because I was able to check this book out multiple times!) This book gave excellent advice on how to get around via public transportation, what sights were most worth seeing, and how to do your own self-guided walking tour.

 

Other sources of information for me were the websites for the tourist information offices in the cities we visited, Trip Advisor and, of course, Cruise Critic. The threads created by Danish Viking (Copenhagen), Travelanni (Northern Germany) and Desdichado62 (Stockholm) were particularly useful.

 

Copenhagen -- Our cruise began in Copenhagen and we arrived there a day in advance. Using the information provided by Danish Viking, we knew how to buy tickets for the M2 Metro from the airport to Kongens Nytorv and using Google Maps, we knew how to walk the few blocks to our hotel, the Wakeup Hotel at Borgergade 9. Not wanting to spend a fortune on a hotel which we would only be in for a few hours (and all the Copenhagen hotels seemed expensive to me), I narrowed my choices to Wakeup, CabINN and the Sommandshjemmet Bethel. I finally chose the Wakeup Hotel at Borgergade 9 due to its location, price, amenities and reputation for quiet. I could not have been happier with our choice. We arrived at the hotel before 9am and were prepared to pay the 20 DKK to store our bags until our room was available that afternoon at 3pm. However, the woman at the front desk said that some “Heaven” rooms (the best rooms on the top floor) were available now for only 100 DKK over what we were paying for our standard room. The option of being able to have a room ready now, take a shower and not have to store our bags for an actual cost of only $12 more (100 DKK – 20 DKK for what we would have paid for bag storage) was too good to pass up. https://www.wakeupcopenhagen.com

 

After getting cleaned up, we headed toward the city center walking down the main shopping street, Stroget, stopping for coffee and pastry (to supplement the sparse breakfast we’d had on the plane). We ended up at Radhuspladsen at 1pm for the walking tour offered by Copenhagen Free Walking Tours (red signs/umbrellas). There were a LOT of people there that day for the tour and they divided us into groups of about 20 people each. Our guide was a young man named Magnus and he was great! For the next 3 hours (with a 20 minute break at Kongens Nytorv for a snack, drink or polse), we walked around the old part of Copenhagen. Magnus took us to a few out-of-the-way places (e.g. the home of Carl Jacobsen, the founder of the Carlsburg brewery) and told us a lot about life in Denmark—high taxes and “hygge”. At 4pm, we had finished out tour at Amalienborg Palace (and tipped Magnus as there is no charge for the tour itself). I highly recommend taking the Free Walking Tour of Copenhagen. (They also offer walking tours of other parts of Copenhagen.) http://www.copenhagenfreewalkingtours.dk/

 

For the rest of this day and the following day, until we had to check out of our hotel, we walked around Copenhagen using the “Self-Guided Walk in Copenhagen” from the Rick Steves book as a guide. His tour went to places that Magnus skipped and we wanted to see them. We ate dinner at the vegetarian restaurant, Riz Raz, in the university district and happened upon a free jazz concert in the park behind Roseborg Palace.

After checking out of the Wakeup Hotel, we headed to the nearby bus stop for the #26 bus which took us to Osterport, Slojfens where we got the #27 bus to Oceankaj. (You can buy your 2-zone ticket for 24 DKK from the bus driver.) Upon reaching Oceankaj, it was an easy walk to the Terminal for our ship.

 

While the only buses you will probably need in Copenhagen are the #26, #27 and #25 (the special Oceankaj bus which only operates on cruise days), for more information on getting around Copenhagen, go to the tourism website, http://www.visitcopenhagen.com

 

Next: Port Stop Kiel—Day Trip to Luebeck

Hi Gradut,

I am taking the free walking tour offered by Sandeman. Is that the same? Our meeting point is at this Fountain in front of Town Hall square.

The toilets inside the tourist sites are free, Also the ones at NYhavn is free and I also think the one at Amagertorv/Storkespringvandet.

 

Or else you can visit the department stores Illum and Magasin where there is plenty of toilets.

 

The toilets at the central station costs 5 kroner.

Thank you!

No not at Vasa from what I can remember, I don't know about every other museum. I think most will offer it for free but I am not sure.

Then i will make sure that my bathroom break will be done in Vasa:p

I am assuming that Copenhagen would be the same as any other Baltic City, you pay for public restrooms correct? But inside the attractions like Tivoli Garden do you also pay?

Restaurants, I do know if you are a eating there you don't pay for the use. Correct me if I am wrong.
