About
The Vasa ship capsized and sank in Stockholm 1628. After 333 years on the seabed the mighty warship was salvaged and the voyage could continue. Today Vasa is the world's only preserved 17th century ship.

Address
Neighborhood: Djurgården & Djurgårdsbrunn
The island of Djurgården and its northern mainland extension, Djurgårdsbrunn, impress with a mix of nature and an abundance of museums, while being located in walking distance to Stockholm’s city center. Djurgården not only invites visitors to take endless walks through a beautiful park landscape without having to leave the city, but also offers an incredible range of entertainment facilities, such as an open air museum which specializes in the Swedish way of life pre-industrialization, the renowned Vasa Museum with its legendary sailing ship, and Sweden’s most famous amusement park Gröna Lund, which is more than a 100 years old.

Nice museum, I've been here before but it was long ago. Now we were 8 people visiting - three from India, three from the US, and two from Sweden, and the others enjoyed it a lot. Impressive ship. Pedagogically explained. What makes it a bit uninteresting for me is probably that I've seen it before. Lots of people waiting in line - avoid the busiest hours. The restaurant could be better.

This museum doesn't disappoint! I am not a ship nut, but this ship is AMAZING. It kept me mesmerized for several hours. I couldn't believe the beautiful carvings and the size of the ship for the period! How they got it up and preserved as it is just boggles the mind. Too bad the design was flawed and it sank. What a gorgeous ship it must have been that day. I highly recommend going to this museum if in Stockholm.

Central in the museum las the shipwreck. You can t go on the actual wreck, but theres a place in the museum where they constructed part of a canon deck, to give you a feel for it.
A lot of information around the ship, about living on board, people on board, and history.
Count 2 to 3 hours for a visit.
Very nice museum, but can be crowded

The ship itself is a quite jaw dropping spectacle but it’s the exhibits and displays that elevate this museum to another level. It’s so well thought out and interesting. Lots to see and experience. Even the cafe is amazing! An absolute must see when in Stockholm.

Ship itself is nothing short of spectacular. The surrounding exhibit is well thought out & engaging. Entry price is a little steep but you can easily spend more than a few hours engaging with the displays.

We had heard quite a bit about the Vasa Museum before traveling to Stockholm and thought surely it must be an exaggeration.
It's not; this is an amazing museum/experience, with accessible exhibits and an amazing story. So if you find yourself in Stockholm, it's pretty simple: you've got to go.

I recently visited this museum and I highly recommend it! However, be sure to get there right at opening time, otherwise, it gets packed pretty quickly. Additionally, I suggest ordering your tickets online beforehand to make things easier and avoid waiting in long lines. If you have an older adult in your family, look into the senior citizen age in Sweden to see if you qualify for any discounts. If you're a student, make sure to bring your ID to save some money. I would definitely recommend doing a guided tour - it was really informational and the perfect amount of time. Even if you're not typically a gift shop person, I encourage you to check this one out, especially if you're from the US - the prices are shockingly cheap. Overall, it was a great experience and I'm glad I went.

Why did it sink
Gary C

The King of Sweden at the last minute of the build required a second row of canon. The extra weight of the extension plus the canon caused the ship to be top heavy. On the Vasa's maiden voyage it appeared to tack across the estuary when it was hit by cross winds causing it to tip on its side. As the canon doors were open the ship filled quickly with water and sunk. It was raised some 350 years later almost fully intact.

I read Vasa Museum website there will be guided tours every half hour from 9:30am to 4:30pm next month (August). Anyone knows if the last guided tour starts at 4pm or 4:30pm? Many thanks.

Sorry I’m not sure. We did it by ourselves and there are plenty of written descriptions everywhere so do not think you really need a guided tour

Здравствуйте,
Кто-то может сказать, сколько стоит добраться до музея Васа на морском транспорте, отправляющемся недалеко от причала Viking Line?

Обычный билет на городской транспорт распространяется и на речной трамвай. Стоит около 4.5 евро за разовую поездку и дешевле, если брать абонемент.
