Highly recommend to see the Viking that you cannot see in any museum else in the world. Worth your money as the top three must see list. It takes at least one hour to walk through three floors around the boat. Amazing to see! More

No matter how much you read ahead of time, it is still a surprise to walk into the Vasamuseet and see just how enormous the Vasa is.

I know it is called Vasa but I was expecting more things and it is 100% dedicated to the Vasa. So before paying have in mind that you are only going to see the ship. More

I visited the Vasa in the early 70's when it was in it's early stages of preservation and was amazed at how they had restored this beautiful ship. Well worth a visit! More

I found this museum exceptionally interesting and would definitely go back. I'm not really interested in boats, generally speaking, but I was really impressed by this. Used the Stockholm Card to gain entry and I think it was.excellent value. A great way to spend most of an afternoon. More
