Visit the Vasa Museum and Skansen on Djurgården, walk through Gamla Stan and see the Nobel Prize Museum, and visit Fotografiska. In summer, take a boat trip to the archipelago.
Yes. It holds the Vasa, a 17th-century warship that sank on its first voyage in 1628. It is the best-preserved ship of its kind in the world, and it is one of the most visited museums in Scandinavia.
Yes. Skansen has old farms and Nordic animals, Junibacken brings Pippi Longstocking to life, and Tekniska and the Paradox Museum have hands-on exhibits.
A pass can save money if you plan to visit several museums in a short time. Compare the price of the pass with the entry prices of the places you want to see.
Plan 3 days: 1 day for Djurgården and its museums, 1 day for Gamla Stan and the city centre, and 1 day for the archipelago or more museums.
Stockholm is built on 14 islands, and many of its best museums stand on one of them. On Djurgården, the Vasa Museum shows a warship that sank in 1628 and was raised almost complete in 1961. Next door, Skansen is an open-air museum of old Swedish houses with a Nordic zoo, and Junibacken brings the stories of Astrid Lindgren to life for children.
In Gamla Stan, the old town, the Nobel Prize Museum tells the story of the prize and its winners. Fotografiska shows world-class photography on the waterfront, and the Royal Armoury keeps the armour and coaches of Swedish kings. In summer, a wooden boat takes you out to the islands of the archipelago.
About Stockholm
Stockholm is the capital of Sweden, where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. Bridges link its 14 islands, and about 1 million people live in the city.
Gamla Stan, the medieval old town, holds the Royal Palace and narrow cobbled lanes. Djurgården is a green island of museums and parks, and Södermalm is known for cafés, shops and views over the water.
What to expect on a Stockholm experience
Most museums in Stockholm take 1 to 3 hours. Djurgården has several of the main museums close together, so you can visit two or three in one day. Boat tours run mainly from spring to autumn.
In winter, days are short and cold, so plan indoor museums and dress warmly.
Best time to visit
May to September brings long days, and in June the sun sets after 10pm. This is the best time for boat trips and the archipelago. December has Christmas markets in Gamla Stan and at Skansen. January to March is cold and dark, but quiet.
Getting around
The metro (tunnelbana), trams, buses and ferries are all part of SL public transport. Ferries link Gamla Stan and Slussen with Djurgården, and tram 7 runs to the Djurgården museums. Much of the centre is easy to explore on foot.
