Description:

Gamla Stan, the authentic heart of Stockholm, oozes character. Walk the cobbled alleys with a guide; then hop on a ferry to see the Vasa Museum, housing a jaw-dropping display of a 17th-century warship. Finally, take in scenic views of the imposing palaces of Södermalm from charming Djurgården Island.

An enchanting maze of narrow lanes and colorful houses, the Old Town is where Stockholm's heart beats. See some of the major landmarks, such as the majestic Royal Palace, the 13th-century Storkyrkan, the coronation church, and the mythical Saint George and the Dragon sculpture. Walk with an expert tour guide who shares intriguing stories that bring the place to life.

Glide along to the Stockholm Archipelago aboard a ferry toward the island of Djurgården. Home to extensive meadows, stretches of forest, an amusement park, museums, and galleries, it is a favorite recreational area of locals. Spot the elegant buildings of the Södermalm district from the water. This is a great opportunity for taking photos.

Enter the mysterious Vasa Museum, an exhibition themed around maritime history. Marvel at the almost fully intact display of the mighty 64-gun warship called Vasa. It's hard to believe that this perfectly preserved wooden giant went on its maiden voyage in 1628 AD. Enjoy the visitor center, where you can visit the gift shop and a delightful café.
