3. Skansen

Enjoy the Skansen, which was established in 1891 and is now one of the world’s oldest open-air museums. Artur Hazelius, a Swedish teacher and scholar, spent nearly 10 years buying over 150 buildings from Swedish villages, taking them apart and shipping them to Djurgården Island for reassembly. His objective was to preserve traditional customs and occupations before they were lost to changing times. Explore re-creations ranging from 16th-century farms to a 19th-century traditional town complete with detailed displays of shops and workplaces typical for the craftsmen and merchants of the time.

4. Vasa Museum

You have probably heard of the Titanic’s fatal maiden voyage. The Vasa Museum (Vasamuseet) tells the lesser-known story of the Vasa battleship, which sank three centuries earlier before even leaving the harbour where it was launched. Marine archaeologists recovered the 17th-century battleship from 32 metres (105 feet) of water and preserved much of the ship and its artefacts in a public museum.
