Excursion in Stockholm
Situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea, the city is built partly on several islands at the mouth of Lake Mälar, earning it the nickname “Venice of the North”.
First mentioned in 1252, Stockholm is said to have been founded by Birger Jarl. Its name comes from the combination of two words: island and poles (holm and stock in Swedish).

ABBA The Musuem
Relive the history of the iconic Swedish group ABBA, with 6,500 square meters of museum dedicated to their international career.
Opened in 2013, this venue, adjacent to the Swedish Music Hall of Fame, houses numerous items, costumes, and instruments that belonged to the group. If you have the spirit of a pop star, you’ll also find some dance floors and spaces to sing.
Plan about 2 hours to visit this highly interactive museum.
VASA Museum
Known by its Swedish name, the Vasamuseet opened its doors in 1990. It houses the Vasa, a 17th-century Swedish warship that sank in the Stockholm harbor during its inauguration in 1628.
Its remarkable preservation allowed for a perfect restoration in the 1960s, making it the only ship from this era and of such size that is still almost fully intact today.
With its 150 crew members, 64 cannons, 52 meters in height, and 1,200 tons, the Vasa was, at the time of its inauguration, the most powerful three-masted ship in the world.
