Excursion Stockholm & vasa museum (tour & airport/hotel transfer) tour at Stockholm

Stockholm, founded as a fortress where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic, began to grow in the mid-13th century. It ultimately became Sweden's capital. Catch a glimpse of the city before heading to the airport for your homeward bound flight.

Departing the pier, enjoy a sightseeing drive that will include a photo stop at Fjallgatan, from where you may enjoy a spectacular view over Stockholm, its islands and waters. Highlights seen include:

City Hall

Stockholm's City Hall is one of Europe's most impressive modern structures. On a waterfront location, it boasts pillared arcades and lavishly decorated rooms. Internationally, it is best known as the venue of the annual banquet for the Nobel Prize. Pass through the city centre to the neighbouring island of Djurgarden, the site of the Vasa Museum.

Vasa Museum

On the island of Djurgarden, regarded as Stockholm's outdoor recreation centre and Green Lung, visit the Vasa Museum. On display is the seventeenth century warship which sank in Stockholm's inner harbour on the outset of its maiden voyage in 1628. The discovery of the ship in 1956 and its salvage in 1961 are one of the most important events in marine archaeology.

Departing the Vasa, cross the medieval Old Town (Gamla Stan) en route to the airport or your Silversea hotels.
