Vasa Museum

The Vasa ship capsized and sank in Stockholm 1628. After 333 years on the sea bed the mighty warship was salvaged and the voyage could continue. Today Vasa is the world's only preserved 17th century ship and the most visited museum in Scandinavia.

When visiting Stockholm, and you would be allowed to visit only one thing: go to Vasa: the setup of the museum is fantastic! When you come out, you learned something on acient Swedish way of living, but also the basics on shipbuilding.

Mall of Scandinavia

Reviewed By baggycat - UK

I really think that Sweden should be renamed Fleeceland as the thing they know how to do best is how take money from you.
Lots of shops, quite a decent selection of places to eat but all in all, nothing special.
Sweden is ridiculously expensive but it’s relevant to the income of the population. They have amongst the highest average wage in Europe and that is reflected in the prices.
Having travelled a lot of the world it’s perfectly clear that prices match income wherever you go.
Their average wage is about 35% higher - at current exchange rates - than the UK. That said, there is no excuse for some of the costs in visiting Stockholm.
The first thing I noticed is that their smallest coin is 1kr, that’s about 10p. That means that everything gets rounded up to start with.
Parking is ridiculously expensive everywhere, food even more so. And if you like to pay at least £6 for a small bottle of beer then you will be right at home here.
For us, Stockholm is a one-off visit.
There are a few places worth paying the entrance fee for but overall I would give it a miss.

Stockholm Old Town

The Old Town, unsurprisingly, is the oldest part of Stockholm. It's certainly the tourist's go-to destination, but that doesn’t detract from its architectural and otherwise urban beauty.

Reviewed By Keggfish - Perth, Western Australia

Wonderful old town with fantastic architecture, beautifully preserved and looked after. Unfortunately, as with many tourist spots, the main streets are chock-a-block of shops flogging evrything possible to tourists, but get in the back streets and things quickly change. Just a lovely experience, especially in the cool of winter. Fantastic tasteful christmas lights.

Friends Arena

Reviewed By Robtane - Stockholm, Sweden

I love AIK Football and Friends Arena is their home ground. It is always an enjoyable occasion going with my 11 year old Daughter to follow them. The pluses for Friends is easy parking at Mall of Scandinavia (although exiting after a game can be a test of patience) or easy walk to trains or busses. The downside is how bad the hotdogs are. Overall my love of the Football gives the stadium 3 stars but I wish I had the ability to give 3 ½ stars. I have also attended a Coldplay concert here and that was fantastic and an upcoming Queen concert. Will review again. Hate those hotdogs though.

Slottstradgarden Ulriksdal

Reviewed By Phayao13 - Stockholm

One of Stockholm's best vegetarian restaurants.High-quality bread, salads and soups.Pastry's also a delight. The venue does not win a beauty award, but it is forgiven when the garden and the shop are extravaganza.A little confusing for visitors with all the addresses that mention Ulriksdal,Thank you for your judgment, and welcome back to Slottsträdgården Ulriksdal

Ulriksdals Slottspark

Reviewed By Suansa - Fuengirola, Spain

The Gardens are relatively easily accessible and comprise of lush green lawns and woodlands plus the English Gardens which is a small walled garden with flowers.
Part of the Gardens have walks along the sea front with absolutely stunning scenery.
There's a cafe where they serve tasty lunches, snacks as well as coffee and cakes.
If you're in the area it's definitely worth a walk round these very tranquil and natural Gardens also ideal for dog walking.

Monteliusvagen

Reviewed By Robert M

This is My absolute favorite place to go for when I just want to enjoy the view for my lovely city!
Whenever you’re a pro or amateur photographer or if you’re just in the city for a minute I would highly recommend for you to bring a camera and be prepared to fill out your camera roll!
The best time to enjoy the view is when it’s bright outside.
A tip: bring a snack or something to eat and to skip the expensive restaurant and cafe you can go to the supermarket “Götgatan 17A” that’s is close by the viewpoint and it’s cheap.
They are open 07-23 almost every day.
That’s all from me, thank for Reading.
Until next time see you soon!

Filmstaden Scandinavia

Reviewed By tiboo - Shanghai

Went there few times, great cinema to go with friends of family. Lots of choices of snacks and the quality of the sound in the rooms is really good. Imax movie is a bit pricey though (more than 200 sek). Better book your sit in advance if you don't want to sit in the first row or if you come in group.

Stockholm City Hall

The Stockholm City Hall is one of Sweden's most famous buildings, and one of the capital's most visited tourist attractions. It houses offices for 200 people including the Municipal Council, and is also famous for its grand ceremonial halls and unique art pieces. The Stockholm City Hall is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet held on 10 December each year. Between May and September, the City Hall Tower offers a breathtaking view of Stockholm.

This wasn’t that high on our bucket list for Stockholm but a beautiful crisp morning found us drawn to it’s iconic icy waterside location and serendipity intervened to announce an English language tour commencing in 10 minutes time at 11am. It proved to be an absolute delight ... a fascinating insight into Swedish culture and history ... as well as an eccentric but engaging architectural entertainment ... all brought to life by a very accomplished young guide. I think this will be one of the highlights of our five day visit ... and that’s saying something.

Strandvagen

Reviewed By Razorfish - Mountain View, Arkansas

A charming area along the waterfront to stroll and enjoy. It contains a picturesque view of the waterway and Promenade with architecturally unique buildings. My wife and I strolled along the streets in this area several different days during our stay in Gamla Stan.
