About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

Stockholm quickly became one of our favorite cruise ports in Northern Europe. Instead of booking an expensive excursion, we explored Sweden's beautiful capital entirely on foot. From the medieval streets of Gamla Stan (Old Town) to the impressive Royal Palace, we discovered why Stockholm is consistently ranked as one of Europe's most walkable cities. Along the way we stumbled upon the Changing of the Guard, admired Stockholm Cathedral, wandered through beautiful parks, walked the waterfront, saw several famous monuments, and even finished our day at the Swedish History Museum, home to one of the world's best Viking collections. If you're arriving on a Baltic cruise and wondering whether you need an excursion, this video may help you decide. If you enjoy practical retirement travel, cruise ports you can explore independently, and honest travel experiences, we'd love to have you join us.
