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.

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. ...
