Have you heard of the Vasa Museum? Those who have been, never forget. Our Stockholm & Vasa Museum Private Driving Tour honours one of the most extraordinary events in Swedish History. It is a WOW experience, not to be missed!
The story about the tour
In 1628, a big salute was fired to celebrate the maiden voyage of the great Vasa warship. In 1957, the same vessel was applauded as it was salvaged from the bottom of the sea. What happened in the years in between? Salute the Vasa ship with us and hear all about its salvation on our Stockholm & Vasa Museum Private Driving Tour, or as we like to call it, “Salute & Salvation”!
In the 1620s, the great Swedish King Gustav II Adolf felt like he didn’t have a big enough ship to showcase his greatness. As his enemies called him “the lion of the North”, he couldn’t go to war with a small sailboat. The pressure was on, and the Vasa ship was born. However, his precious ship was too good to be true and sank on its maiden voyage. This tour of Stockholm and the Vasa Museum doesn’t only take you on a voyage of the Swedes’ failures and success stories, but it also shows you around town. Discover the city districts of the Old Town, Södermalm, Norrmalm, Djurgården and Östermalm on our scenic drive. As the name suggests, the Old Town is where everything once began, both for the city and the Vasa’s maiden voyage. From here, the Vasa ship took off on that fateful afternoon in 1628.
We’ll go for a short walk through the Old Town to stretch our legs and uncover hidden corners of this picturesque island. What are the main highlights of the Old Town? We’ll gladly show you a selection of the Old Town’s highlights: Stortorget (The Main Square), The Nobel Museum, The Royal Palace and the smallest statue in Sweden, to name a few. As we end our tour, we promise your heart will salute the city of Stockholm.

Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫
🇸🇪
Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

Don`t let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.
