When you travel a lot, it gets harder to find those "wow!" moments. As soon as you walk inside the Vasa Museum, your jaw drops and the "wow" just pops out of your mouth. In front of you is the actual ship "Vasa" recovered from Stockholm Harbour in 1628. It's enormous and, although you can't get onto it, you can... More

Definitely a high point of our visit to Stockholm. An impressive warship that capsized and sank only a few minutes into its maiden voyage. My wife's father was a professor of ocean engineering at MIT and worked on ship stability design -- so it was fun to see the exhibits through her eyes. The museum is very well designed, the... More

Interesting museum about the most top heavy ship you will ever see. Not sure how it even lasted 20 minutes in the water. Very interesting free tour in multiple languages. $20 US/person, a little pricey.

This was hands down the best museum I went to in Stockholm. The ship and its history is pretty fascinating. I can easily say it was worth the price of entry. There are tons of interactive exhibits, modern display techniques, a movie, and free tour (available in multiple languages). There's also free wifi in the museum so you can listen... More

The best is to see the ship as it was in the moment of sailing and think about its recovery from the deep.

I found it not to miss from your sightseeing if you are in Stockholm. It is great to see a ship which was under the sea for 333 years. It was pulled from sea and maintained in a good quality.

The cruise we were on only gave us a few hours in Stockholm and the last thing I wanted to see was some old boat. My wife talked me into seeing the Vasa and I am glad she did. It was amazing how well the ship was preserved and restored. The museum does a great job of showcasing the ship... More

If you have only one museum you can visit in Stockholm, this is it. Not only is the ship gorgeous and beutifully preserved, they have created a wonderful atmosphere on 17th century Sweden that gives you a stronge of the nation's rise as a major Baltic power. Most enjoyable!

This is an excellent museum as you can see the boat re-constructed and learn about the unfortunate circumstances that resulted in its sinking! Definite mistakes were made! The museum is highly interactive, well-displayed and highly informative. Worth a visit.
