We toured Stockholm with Susanne Aberg, a wonderful guide from the Stockholm Visitors Board and Stockholm Cruising Capital. Here are some of the top attractions in Stockholm.
Sights in Old Town Gamla Stan
The narrow streets and alleyways of old town Stockholm are perfect for strolling for a few hours or more. Be sure to visit the Royal Palace, Cathedral, Stortoget (Old Square), and Nobel Museum. Find the small Iron Boy statue, rub his head for luck, and leave a coin behind.
Sights on Djurgarden
We took a ferry from Slussen in Gamla Stan across the harbor to Djurgarden. You could easily spend a whole day on this island at its three main sights--the Vasa Ship Museum, the open-air folk museum Skansen, and the Nordic Museum.
Sights in Downtown Stockholm
The History Museum (Historiska Museet) has a collection of Viking antiquities and a spectacular underground Gold Room filled with ancient fine jewelry. The
City Hall is an architectural delight and the site of the Nobel Prize banquet. As seen above, a great finale to your day in Stockholm is the Absolut Ice Bar.
