Things to do in Sweden

The icebreaker experience was truly the most unforgettable part of our entire Nordic trip. As the ship began to move forward, directly colliding with the thick sea ice, the low crunching sound and the slight vibration of the entire vessel gave a visceral sense of 'humans traversing a polar environment,' rather than simply sightseeing.

An incredible museum experience—the remarkably preserved Vasa ship makes Stockholm’s history feel vivid, fascinating, and unforgettable. The sheer scale and detail of the ship are breathtaking to see up close. The exhibits provide fascinating insight into the ship, its tragic voyage, and life in 17th-century Sweden.

Such a fun experience!! a must see for any ABBA fan!! I recommend going earlier in the morning as it started to get busy at lunch time as we were leaving!!

We booked this tour two days before attending, which allowed us to check the weather conditions. I recommend arriving 30 minutes early to queue for boarding, as seating is first-come, first-served. The tour guide on the boat provided very clear explanations of the sights and also shared insights into the local culture. Sitting outside was a bit windy, but the scenery was truly beautiful. Blankets were provided on board. I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend this tour.

Skansen Open-Air Museum is definitely one of Stockholm's must-visit attractions, with a zoo and aquarium also located within the museum grounds. I'm not usually a museum person, but since June 6th was Sweden's National Day, and I heard that members of the royal family would be attending (I was lucky enough to see the King, Queen, and other royals), I bought a ticket. The price was the same as usual. Many small 'shops' showcased what life was like before the Industrial Revolution, which was quite unique. There was also a wood carving experience, and overall, the experience was good. There's a map at the entrance, but I didn't find it very clear, so after entering the park, I gave up on using it and just wandered around. I got a bit lost, but I still managed to explore the entire park. A full day is just right for a visit.

Mario, the bus driver and tour guide, is highly experienced and has a great sense of humor. He kept everyone entertained throughout the journey by chatting over the mic, making this one-day tour fun from start to finish. If you ever come across a guide like Mario, you can certainly rest assured that you'll have a reassuring and memorable trip.

The English speaking guide provide informative information about the viking history. Staff at the counter are friendly. the ticket include a ride which is good. you can also take photos with the viking helmet and backdrop.

It was an enjoyable one-hour boat trip. However, the boarding location is at the stop in front of the palace, and since there are several operators, you'll need to ask people while showing them your virtual ticket.

Such an awesome experience! We went in one of the last time slots at 3:50pm and it was amazing, felt like we had a private bubble, with only one other family sharing with us. There is also a small movie you get to watch beforehand to give some history of the city which was very cool. For the experience you get, this is an incredible price.

It is a good museum to describe the culture of spirit in stockholm.
