Vasa Museum

Made for ages 0 to 8, with a story train through Astrid Lindgren's books, Pippi's Villa Villekulla and Sweden's biggest children's bookstore.

Archaeological finds, rebuilt Viking settings and guides in Viking dress, plus Ragnfrid's Saga, a ride through 10th-century Europe on Harald's journey.

An interactive museum of Swedish drinking culture, told through history, art and sensory exhibitions, with the Absolut Art Collection on show.

Baltic shipwrecks brought to life with immersive films, virtual reality and holograms, free for under-18s, on the waterfront between the Vasa Museum and Gröna Lund.

Fika tables piled high, and lunch, in a garden café next to Liljevalchs that has kept its 1900s setting for over a century.

An inn from 1897 named for the poet Bellman's muse, serving classic Swedish home cooking, with a terrace where even the royal stable's horses stop for water.
