Visitors to Stockholm, Sweden, can take a city tour on the 40-passenger, amphibious Ocean Bus (Nybrogatan 62, 114 40, Stockholm, Sweden; phone +46 708 879 854, www.oceanbus.se/en). 

The 75-minute tour leaves from a point near the Royal Opera House (Strömgatan 10, Stockholm) and, making no stops, takes passengers through the Östermalm district, then launches into the water to cruise past the islands of Djurgården and Skeppsholmen before returning. 

The daily tours...

Starting on Feb. 1, 2017, the costs of visitor passes to the ancient Hindu and Buddhist temple complex of Angkor Wat in Cambodia will rise. A one-day pass, costing $20 at press time, will cost $37; a 3-day pass will rise from $40 to $62, and a 7-day pass will go from $60 to $72. 

Two dollars of the cost of each pass is donated to the Kantha Bopha Foundation, which provides free medical care for children.
