In the distance you will see the three crowns atop the imposing City Hall, beautifully situated by the shores of the Lake Mälaren.

Experience the grandeur and spaciousness of the impressive Blue Hall and Golden Chamber and enjoy the beautiful view from the Garden.

Djurgården Island

Vasa Museum

Visit the Vasa, once considered to be one of the world's largest and most prestigious warships. The museum is built around the 17th century warship, which sank in Stockholm's inner harbour on her maiden voyage in 1628. Salvaged in 1961 and today restored to much of its former glory, the Vasa represents an authentic piece of living history.
