Lake Cruises
You can take lake cruises on the old S/S Thomée steamship, including themed tours, dinner tours and trips to the small castle-capped island of Verkön (Skr110/40). Book through the tourist office; the schedule’s complicated, but it’s posted on a sign by the boat at the harbour. A handful of rush tickets are usually available at the harbour before each trip.
