The world’s first open-air museum, Skansen was founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius to give visitors an insight into how Swedes lived once upon a time. You could easily spend a day here and still not see it all (note that prices and hours vary seasonally). Around 150 traditional houses and other exhibits from across the country dot the hilltop – it’s meant to be ‘Sweden in miniature’, complete with villages, nature, commerce and industry.

A good-humoured glorification of some dodgy calculations, Vasamuseet is the custom-built home of the massive warship Vasa . The ship, a whopping 69m long and 48.8m tall, was the pride of the Swedish crown when it set off on its maiden voyage on 10 August 1628. Within minutes, the top-heavy vessel tipped and sank to the bottom of Saltsjön, along with many of the people on board. Guided tours are in English every 30 minutes in summer.

Food Scene
One of Stockholm's classic inner city bars. Don't miss the back bar 'Lilla Baren' for great DJ sets from every genre and silent films projected on the walls. The restaurant has amazing food. A bit pricey but great. Also great for people spotting. This is great for people between ages of 30-50. Lots of famous faces walking around.

Sturehof

This place is very unique. It has a restaurant, which I don't know much about. It looks expensive and high end. But part of it is a bar with hip hop music playing. On weekends the crowd is between 18-25 and dresses very hipster, despite it being located in Stureplan where people typically dress up a lot.

Here there is a bar called Bar Hommage. Their online marketing game is poor so you can't find it in Maps, but go to this address and try some of their cocktails. They are all inspired and the bartender will explain how they came up with the idea for the cocktail. Expensive but just do it, it is worth it.

A small islet in central Stockholm, Sweden. The island forms part of Gamla Stan, the old town, and houses a number of private palaces dating back to the 17th century. The main landmark is the church Riddarholmskyrkan, used as Sweden's royal burial church from the 17th century to 1950, and where a number of earlier Swedish monarchs also lie buried.
