Highlights
Gamla Stan - Old Town Dating back to the Middle Ages, as we walk through the narrow alleys and royal squares of the Old Town, you will be transported to medieval times and live through the tales of legendary heroes and infamous foes who once conquered and lost this city. From the Vikings to the burghers and the nobility, Sweden's past may be bloodier than you believe.
PLUS
Vasa Museum The most visited museum in Sweden is a unique piece of nautical heritage - a 17th-century ship that is still turning heads and making us drop our jaws in awe. Don't miss out on the chance to be this ship's next captain!
OR
Skansen The world's first open air museum is like a 'mini-Sweden' on a hill. Come meet Nordic animals like reindeer and moose, or talk to ethnologists pretending to live like farmers in the 1800's Swedish countryside. There's something for everyone at Skansen!
OR
Junibacken From Pippi Longstockings to Karlsson-on-the-roof, Astrid Lindgren's beloved characters shine through in this children's playground. Sure to delight parents and kids alike, come explore Lindgren's magical world through an interactive display of her characters.
