Things To Do
Gamla Stan
Gamla Stan means Old Town as it was Stockholm's original city center. Although it dates back to the 13th century, most of the buildings there today were built in the 1600s and 1700s. It features charming architecture, cobblestone streets, cafes and shops.
Vasa Museum
A truly unique attraction. The Vasa was a Swedish warship that was built in the 17th century and sank in the Stockholm harbor during its maiden voyage. In 1961, the Vasa was salvaged and was converted into a museum, which features hundreds of artifacts that were remarkably well-preserved.
