What you can expect

Step Back in Time: Explore the Vasa Museum with a Local Guide in Stockholm - SKTL_Vasa_MAIN.jpg

Step inside one of Stockholm’s most iconic museums and explore the Vasa, a 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage and was salvaged after more than 300 years underwater.

With a local guide, learn about the dramatic history behind the ship’s construction, the tragic sinking, and the incredible efforts to restore and preserve it. Hear fascinating stories, see original artifacts, and get insider insights you won’t find on the information boards.

This 2-hour private tour covers the museum’s highlights at a relaxed pace. After the guided experience, guests are welcome to stay longer and explore the exhibitions in more detail on their own.

Good to know: Entrance tickets must be purchased on-site and paid by card only.

The local hosts are natural storytellers, each one with a different background ranging from arts to history. They can’t wait to share some of their unique stories and personal anecdotes with you! Feel like changing the route a bit? No problem, the hosts will be happy to personalize the tour to your wishes.
