Vasa Museum – Stockholm’s Ship That Time Forgot

#northerneurope
The Vasa Museum is one of Stockholm’s most fascinating attractions, home to the only almost fully intact 17th-century warship in the world. The Vasa famously sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged over 300 years later, stunningly preserved. Inside, you can admire the ship’s massive wooden hull, intricate carvings, and learn about the sailors who once worked on board. Engaging exhibitions and models bring its dramatic story to life. Located on Djurgården Island, it’s an easy ferry or tram ride from the city centre, making it a perfect blend of history, craftsmanship, and a dash of adventure. #stockholm #historylover #museum
