Vasa

Everyone I’ve talked to who lives here or has visited has recommended the Vasa Museum. The Vasa being a 17th century warship that sank 20 minutes into its maiden voyage. It remained submerged in Stockholm harbor for more than 300 years. It was raised in the 1960s and a museum built around it. They say 95% of the ship on display today is original. Quite astounding. We also had a food orgy at Östermalms saluhall, walked to Stockholm city hall and saw hot air ballons. In other words, having a great time.
