Trying to get from cruise terminal Starsgarden 160 to Vasa museum. Trying to figure out the best way to do that.

Hop on/off buses are usually the worst possible way to get from A to B. From Stadsgården 160, walk over to Slussen, cross the water and take the ferry over to Djurgården, from there it's a short walk along the water to the Vasa museum.

The 24-hour SL transit pass appears to cost only 17 Euros?? . . . and will cover that ferry . . . a deal. I think that's what I will do. I can get that pass in the airport. It will cover other transportation too if I need it.
The reviews for the Hop/on/hop off were not great in terms of wait times, and time will be precious. We're arriving in the afternoon and want to get over to the Vasa before it stops letting people in at 4p.
Thanks for your help.

Wow . . .I didn't realize it was that far from the Almanna Grande ferry to the museum. Rome to Rio says it takes 8 minutes and a Trip Advisor person says it takes 10 minutes. . . Yes,, my information is the ferry goes every 20 minutes and 20 minutes across.
Thank you for your help.

The airport? So you're not arriving by cruise ship? But yes, a 24 hour pass is 165 kr which is usually good value. If you plan to stay longer, look into a longer pass.
Yes, the Hop on/off boat is another option. But a much more expensive one. And I'm not sure it will be faster, yes it stops closer to both the cruise pier and the Vasa museum, but it doesn't travel the fastest way between the two. It stops in Gamla stan and Nybroviken on the way. It also only runs every 30 minutes, compared to the regular ferry that runs every 10 or 15 minutes depending on the time of the day. And the ferry ride takes less than 10 minutes normally,
I don't think a taxi will save you much (if any) time with the construction going on at Slussen and the fact that going by land is a huge detour. A boat taxi will save a bit of time, but might be a tad on the expensive side for such a short trip.
