The changing of the guard ceremony has been a daily tradition since 1523.
This touristy trip will give you a good view of the city. It’s a little on the pricier side, but you can stop for a coffee near the top to enjoy the view.
The Old Town, unsurprisingly, is the oldest part of Stockholm. It's certainly the tourist's go-to destination, but that doesn’t detract from its architectural and otherwise urban beauty.
Dating back to the 13th century, this church has a distinct character and history. It is the oldest in the Old Town and is home to several relics as well as an impressive statue of Saint George fighting the Dragon. Storkyrkan can pique almost anyone's curiosity, not just the history buff's.
Day 2
The Vasa Ship Museum is home to one of the most complete and best preserved shipwrecks in the world. It is really an awesome sight. Don't miss it.
To get to know Nordic culture if you aren't already familiar, stop in here. The museum holds concerts and other events in the evenings that can be fun for anyone. This is one way to get your Scandinavian on.
The Drottingholm Palace is a World Heritage Site because of its beauty and important history. It is comparable to Versailles. Check out the Court Theater and the Chinese Pavilion.
This is what you might call a cultural "fun house for all ages." Here, you'll find a café, several floors dedicated to effectively entertaining a kid, and contemporary culture exhibits.
Day 3
This is home to arguably the most important art collection in Scandinavia. The exhibits are well-organized and there are even some kid-oriented exhibits.
This street offers a spectacular view of the city.
This building is the seat of Stockholm city government, home to a luxury restaurant and the site of the banquet after the Nobel Prize ceremony. The organ in the Blue Hall has 10,270 pipes and is the largest in Scandinavia.
