Stockholm is one of the most beautiful capital cities in Scandinavia. The largest city in Sweden is home to the national government, the parliament, and Swedish Royal Family. In no particular order, here are our suggestions for things to do in Stockholm:

Vasamuseet

Vasamuseet, or Vasa as it's commonly known, is one of the largest and best-preserved ships in the world. Dating from the early 17th century, the impressive war ship boasts two gun decks and 64 cannons. Visitors are not permitted on board, but you can walk through a re-creation of one of the gun decks. There is also an interesting museum focusing on 17th-century life and shipbuilding.


Moderna Museum

Moderna Museet is a fantastic contemporary art gallery featuring featuring works by Picasso, Dalí, and Jackson Pollock. There is also a great self-service restaurant offering views towards Östermalm. This is one of the most visited museum in Sweden and one of the best attractions in the city.


Skansen

Skansen is a highly recommended cultural tour of Sweden. Over a hundred traditional buildings are laid out as a miniature Sweden. The 18th century buildings are staffed by workers dressed in traditional folk costumes. Watch as they spin wool, build fires and illustrate other traditional tasks.


Stadshuset

Stadshuset is Stockholm's City Hall and is probably the city's most famous landmark. Designed in the National Romantic style, the attractive building is matched by the impressive interior. The Golden Hall is one of the highlights featuring walls covered in millions of gold leaf mosaic pieces.
