Vasamuseet (Vasa Museum)
Sweden’s most visited museum holds the warship Vasa, built on behalf of Vasa King Gustavus Adolphus, which sank during its virgin travel at the Stockholm port in the year 1628. Exactly 333 years later in 1961 it was secured in one piece from the ports ground. The carefully restored derelict is exposed in the main hall of the VASA Museum. The beautiful location of the museum, directly at the sea on the island Djurgrden, is in fact a further attraction.

The Stockholm city hall, voted as Sweden’s most beautiful building,
was built in 1911. The art nouveau architecture style was drafted
by Ragnar Östberg. Situated inside are the impressive premises of
the city administration, among other things the golden hall with
its glass and gold mosaics. The tower offers a far panorama view
over Stockholm. The blue hall of the building hosts the Nobel price
banquettes. The city hall can be visited only on one of the regularly
