Continue past the Royal Dramatic Theatre, along Strandvägen, to the island of Djurgården, regarded as Stockholm’s amusement and recreation center. Along with its great parklands the island features museums including the Skansen Open-Air Museum and the Vasa Museum. The latter houses the Swedish warship Vasa. Visit the Vasa, once considered to be one of the world’s largest and most prestigious warships. The museum is literally built around this 17th-century warship, which sank in Stockholm’s inner harbor on her maiden voyage in 1628. Salvaged in 1961 and today restored to much of its former glory, the Vasa represents an authentic piece of living history. Continue your panoramic drive through the diplomatic area and past Ostermalm, a fashionable neighborhood of stately apartment buildings. You’ll head to the modern shopping and business areas at Hamngatan and Sergels Torg. As you return to the ship, watch for the Royal Opera and the Parliament building before reaching Stockholm’s oldest quarter, the Gamla Stan Old Town, dominated by the stately Royal Palace.

Try something sensational and unique—a guided walk conducted along a historic rooftop in Stockholm. Begin with a drive from the pier to Riddarholmen, the small island in the Old Town of Sweden’s capital.
