What to do and see in Djurgården & Djurgårdsbrunn, Stockholm County: The Best History Museums
The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

The Vasa ship capsized and sank in Stockholm 1628. After 333 years on the seabed the mighty warship was salvaged and the voyage could continue. Today Vasa is the world's only preserved 17th century ship.

I don't usually enjoy museums - find them quite repetitive and predictable. But what a suprise Nordiska Museet is - the highlight of my trip to Stockholm. Beautiful exhibitions, great audio guide, everything so so interesting, interactive exhibitions, places to relax, areas for kids, helpful staff - wonderful place if you want to learn more about Swedish culture. JUST WOW! Sweden is redefining what a museum should look like.

It is a small free museum inside Skansen. Exhibition is located on the second and third floors, and there is also a shop on the first floor. I used to collect matchboxes when I was a child, so this place became must-visit for me. But in any case you'll find a nice museum and learn a few interesting facts. In the shop one can buy books about history of matches in English or Swedish, what I did (actually, safety matches were invented in Sweden!) There are also matchboxes for sell (modern ones cost 10 sek apiece, vintage 25 sek).
5. The Viking Museum - Vikingaliv

The Viking museum, a museum entirely dedicated to the Viking Age, through an exhibition and a Viking Journey - Ragnfrid´s Saga. Vikingaliv is based on historical facts combined with the most recent discoveries of Viking history. Here is also restaurant Glod overlooking the inlet to Stockholm, and a museum shop. The Viking Museum is situated at Djurgarden.

This museum is great for all the family. You can have a tour guide if you wish, tours run at different times of the day in Swedish and English. A great little ride is ‘Ragnfid’s saga’ which takes you through the journey of her and her husbands life. The restaurant in the museum is fantastic, reasonably priced and have the best Swedish meatballs I’ve tasted.
