A full version of our Stockholm Grand Tour adapted for the ships docking in Nynashamn. See all the main sights of the stunning city of Stockholm before the guided tour of the Vasa Museum and ending your day with a walking tour of Gamla Stan Old Town. All of Gamla Stan and the adjacent island of Riddarholmen are like a living pedestrian-friendly museum full of sights, attractions, restaurants, cafés, and shops. It is a paradise if you want to experience the pulse of the city.
"Our ship docked in Nynashamn, not downtown Stockholm, as the winds were too high. So Alla did the trip to downtown Stockholm. It was worth it to see the countryside and not just the downtown area. Stockholm has a ton of museums. We spent about 45 minutes in the Vasa Museum. The museum itself is absolutely stunning, built around one of the most prominent naval engineering disasters in Swedish history – the warship Vasa – which upon launching sailed about 200 yards, capsized and sank. The ship is very impressive when you are standing beside it. It is preserved magnificently. The artwork, the sculptures, the timbers of the ship – it’s just so impressive – BUT did I mention the ship sank hours after launching? It turns out to be a calculational blunder as the extra deck of guns was added without widening her hull at all. Her ‘sister’ ship was built 2 feet wider and sailed successfully for many years. For me one of the most interesting talks our guide gave in the museum was the 3 minute Swedish history lesson on the map at the museum. He covered 3000 years in 3 minutes that would take 3 years in a University, and made it funny and interesting. After the museum we had free time to wander around old town using the palace area as the focal point."
