We booked the following excursion for this port Vasa Museum, Gamla Stan and the Ice Bar
The Vasa Museum is huge (but so is the ship it houses) very excellent history of the ship, the disaster, the restoration work to keep it on display as well as lots of other smaller exhibits all presented in both Swedish and English.
Gamla Stan is the old town - close to the Royal Palace. Touristy shops, ...
Don't miss the tour of Vasa museum to see the war ship that sunk 37 minutes into its maiden voyage. They have raised her and built the museum around her. ...
Capital of Sweden, resting on 14 islands, with about 1 million people. A city with incredible architecture. Gamla Stan (old town) is walkable, historic, and beautiful. We also love Espresso House coffee shops! ...
Did our own walking tour of the old city one day. Next day visited the Vasa Museum - highlight! Make sure you allow enough time to look around it all - and then the Army museum. ...
The final leg of the cruise. Another mistake on our part and hopefully you gain from our experience.

So, we bought tickets before the trip not knowingly will be a tremendous waste of money and time. Just to let you know also that going to Stockholm from Nynashamn is a one hour train ...
we caught the train in from Nynashamn and did the Rick Steves Gamla Stan walk including an extended visit to the Nobel Prize Musuem which was really cool to see. ...
We got here one day ahead and visited the Vassa Museum. I highly recommend it. we didn't have time to do anything else, but Stockholm is a beautiful city. ...
