Vasa Museum

One of the most frequented tourist sites in Stockholm, the Vasa Museum preserves one great treasure of Sweden, the giant Vasa, which sank in 1628 on its maiden voyage in Stockholm. This 69 m long warship was rescued in 1961, 333 years after it sank. The beauty of Vasa is that it’s the only conserved 17th century ship in the world that has been restored and kept with 95% of its originality. The museum is a great way to experience and learn about the history of this goneby era ship through the restored wreck and exhibitions, which detail the tale of sinking of this great battleship in 1628. Also gaze through the life on board and ship building techniques used during the 1600s. The museum also displays a collection of relics that were found in the ship during the rescue period. A movie has also been made to showcase the life of Vasa, shown in 13 different languages. In addition, there is a well-stocked shop in case you want to take a small souvenir home and restaurants to take relax. The guided tours also take place at the museum every day. Free admission for kids.
