Stockholm's front door and a charming Baltic coastal town in its own right. A 60-minute commuter train links the pier to the Swedish capital — but the smoked shrimp at the fishing harbor might convince you to stay.
Ships dock at the Seawalk floating pier; a painted pavement path leads directly to the train station and town center.
💡 Pro move: Allow at least 90 min buffer before all-aboard to account for train delays. Stockholm taxis back are very expensive.
Nynäshamn has a modern floating Seawalk pier used by most cruise ships; a few smaller vessels anchor and tender to the guest harbor.
