There’s so much to do and enjoy in Stockholm, one might sometimes wonder how on earth to fit it all in one stay. The Stockholm Card is a great start, with free entrance to 75 museums and sights, as well as public transportation to take you there.
As you may have gathered by now, I’m very much into heavy shopping sprees with the occasional café, restaurant, or bar visit wedged in between. But a girl must enjoy the local culture on offer too, right? I took some friends with me last weekend, and we all went out and purchased The Stockholm Card. Read more about it here. Seeing as there’s so much to do and visit, we decided to go out to Djurgården where the museums are plenty and fairly close to each other. First we enjoyed the art at the fabulous gallery at Liljevalchs. From here we moved on to the incredible Vasa museum. (It must have been my 14th visit, but still just as impressive and breathtaking.) This old warship sunk on its maiden voyage already in the Stockholm inlet! Some 300 years later it was brought back to the surface and put on display. Finally we went over to Skansen – the world’s oldest open-air museum. Apart from containing a great selection of historical buildings from all over Sweden, this place also doubles as Stockholm’s very own zoo! A visit to the aquarium is a must!
Until next time,
Love Inga
