This is really a must!
A good-humored glorification of some dodgy calculations, Vasamuseet is the custom-built home of the massive warship Vasa.
The ship, a whopping 69m long and 48.8m tall, was the pride of the Swedish crown when it set off on its maiden voyage on August 10, 1628. Within minutes, the top-heavy vessel tipped and sank to the bottom of Saltsjön, along with most of the officers and crew on board.
Guided tours in English every 30 minutes in summer.

This is one of my all time favorite islands in Stockholm. It is the same island where you can find the open-air zoo "Skansen" and the amusement park "Gröna Lund", but it is an absolutely beautiful island to just stroll round.
It is close to a 10 km walk if you want to walk around the whole island (by the waterfront). You can get there by boat or by tram or simply take the subway to "Östermalmstorg" and walk on the beautiful waterfront, “Strandvägen” (a nice street between beautiful architecture and all the nice boats).

Skansen is the world’s oldest open-air museum and is situated on the island of Djurgården within the city limits of Stockholm. The founder’s aims live on in the museum today. He wanted to bring the traditional rural culture to life by exhibiting furnished houses and farmsteads, cultivated plots and gardens and both domestic and wild animals. When Skansen started, its focus was on farming and Sami culture.
