This flexible tour is designed to meet guests’ expectations and can be tailored along the way. It begins with a visit to Stockholm’s iconic City Hall (Stadshuset), the venue of the annual Nobel Prize Banquet, where guests enjoy a guided tour of its red-brick fortress-like structure and the tower crowned with three golden crowns, the emblem of Sweden. From there, the journey continues to Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s charming Old Town founded in 1252, where a walk through its narrow cobbled streets and medieval alleyways brings history to life. At Stortorget, the great square, guests see the Nobel Museum and the Swedish Academy. The experience continues with a short ferry ride to Djurgården, the city’s park and recreational island, where the group visits the world-renowned Vasa Museum. Here, the astonishingly preserved 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 is on full display, having been salvaged in 1961. The tour concludes with a comfortable drive back to the hotel or cruise ship.

I didn't think the Vasa was going to leave the mark on me that it did. When I visited, I had a bad back and this museum had plenty of places to stop and rest and take pressure off my back. It's a good 7 floors. You can see almost every angle of the ship. The artwork and carvings on the outside of the ship was amazing to see the extensive detail and expressions. The size of the smallest mast was shocking. It really gave the vision of how large the ship truly is. We enjoyed the painted sculptures to show what they most likely looked like when they were on the ship. The museum took about an hour for us to tour. We didn't do the walking tour and we didn't have a guided tour either. But if you are extensively into history or the full story of the ship, I would recommend it. The gift shop has lots of souvenirs and is worth the stop
A must-visit in Stockholm! The museum is laid out so nicely. Each floor is dedicated to specific “layers” of the ship, so you are learning about something that you can see directly from where you are standing. The bottom floor has very interesting stories about the people on it, as well as DNA research into who they were. We spent an hour here as we arrived close to closing time but easily could have stayed for much longer — wish we had two hours or more!
An incredible experience in Vasa Museum. A masterpiece of Swedish legacy is impressive released to the mankind through the huge effort of the all people involved in this difficult mission. Considering this treasure a very representative piece of the Swedish History, to see it live in its real dimension and spirit in this magical space, is a really miracle. Congratulations for all the team involved in get it back to life!
The Vasa Museum was a pretty awesome thing to see in Stockholm. The 17th century warship is so well preserved. In fact, it is still an incredible 98% original. There is an auditorium where you can watch a short film about Vasa, which was very helpful and educational. The ship is actually still actively being worked on to preserve it, decades after it was salvaged in the 1960s. If you are a visiting Stockholm for the first time, I highly recommend that you visit this amazing museum.
Visiting the Vasa Museum was, without question, one of the absolute highlights of our time in Stockholm. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the breathtaking sight of the nearly fully intact 17th-century warship that gives the museum its name. Photos honestly don’t do it justice — the size, craftsmanship, and sheer presence of the Vasa are overwhelming in the best way. It’s one of the most incredible old-world ships I’ve ever seen, both in scale and in the intricacy of the carvings and details that have been so remarkably preserved. What really adds to the experience is the storytelling. There’s an almost cinematic quality to learning that the ship — after all the effort and grandeur that went into building it — sank on its maiden voyage just minutes after setting sail. That “spoiler” moment doesn’t diminish the tour; if anything, it makes the rest of the exhibits even more compelling. The museum does a fantastic job of unpacking the engineering flaws, the historical context, and the recovery efforts in ways that keep both casual visitors and history buffs hooked. One of the best surprises was the basement level. Unlike the ornate upper floors, it has a more relaxed, less crowded feel, with fascinating displays about the preservation process and everyday life on the ship. If you visit Stockholm, this is a non-negotiable must-see. Plan to give yourself at least two hours to really take it all in.
