Full description
How did Sweden become a maritime force to be reckoned with during the Viking times? It was thanks to warships such as the Vasa, which is well-preserved and displayed in Stockholm! Come and discover its history and unique features with an Expert Guide. Take advantage of our skip-the-line tickets to Vasa Museum and immerse yourself in maritime history of Sweden.

Book a 2-hour private tour of the Vasa Museum in Djurgården, Stockholm. It is one of the most visited museums in all of Scandinavia, but you don't have to worry about wasting time in long lines, as your group will skip the queue at the ticket office and conveniently enter at your reserved time slot. Inside the Vasa Museum you will see the original Vasa warship, which was built in 1628 but sunk on its maiden voyage and was forgotten for centuries in deep waters. Now that the salvaged wreckage is on display, you can fully appreciate its grand scale and detailed features, as it was once the best equipped warship known. The tour will also cover the exhibits of 17th-century clothing, personal hygiene items, kitchen equipment, and military weapons, as well as the gardens, where you'll see examples of the flowers, herbs, and vegetables grown in Sweden during this period. Your Expert Guide will explain everything in detail, so you will get the most out of your experience!
