RED Sightseeing Stockholm Hop-on Hop-off bus + Vasa Museum + Vrak - Museum of Wrecks

Et af de bedste museer vi har besøgt!

Utroligt spændende. Vi anbefaler et besøg der. Tre dage efter vores besøg snakker vi stadig om skibet og historien - det mægtige skib som endte med at være en fantasi og en fiasko.

Spændende indblik i skibet og dets hævning

Vi kom til museet netop som en kort rundvisning (15 minutter) startede. Vi fik på den måde et hurtigt indblik i museet og skibets korte historie. Derefter så vi den korte film om skibet og var så rustede til at opleve dem flotte udstilling. God opbygget med plancher på svensk og engelsk kunne vi gå rundt og få indblik i forskellige vinkler af såvel skibets konstruktion som arbejdet med at hæve det og konserveringen af skibet Man kan vælge at downloade en audio rundtur, men det undlod vi, da vi ikke havde meget strøm på vores mobiler😱 Afsæt mindst et par timer til besøget og besøg også gerne caféen

Et museums besøg der absolut ikke er kedeligt.

Fantastisk at se skibet der sank på sin jomfrurejse restaureret så fint det er museet’s attraktion og fint med filmen på alle sprog.

Fantastisk godt museum

Det er et dejligt oplysende museum hvor alle børn og voksne kan få 2 timer til at gå. Imponerende bedrift at hæve skibet. Hele den fantastiske historie er fortalt.

Fantastisk oplevelse Historie føres konkret.

Jeg besøgte museet kort tid efter det åbnede i 1990. Jeg var begejstret. Her i 2024 fik jeg så muligheden igen. Og denne gang skulle det også går ud over min hustru. Det er bare et fedt sted. Min hustru sagde at museet gør historie konkret igennem Vasa skibet. Og hun har jo ret. Det var dengang og nu i dag et fantastisk sted.

Fantastisk!

Tankevækkende! Originalt skib bevaret fra 1628. Besætning på 445 mand, 64 kanoner og træudskæringer, der skulle få fjenden til at frygte en mægtig konges magt. Datidens organisationsdiagram med kongen agter, og reference til Romerrigets kejser Augustus. Ren propaganda. MEN, MEN, MEN.. Vasa sank på sin første tur: 1,4 km fra Stockholm den 10. August 1628. Hovmod? Du skal se skibet med dine egne øjne!

Større end forventet

Fantastisk, uventet stort en oplevelse for livet bus til døren husk at give dig tid til at gå i deres filmfremvisnings sal og få en fantastisk god forklaring på det store arbejde er lagt bag dette flotte museum

Et must-see i Stockholm

Et "must see" i Stockholm. Et godt museum, som er bygget meget fint op. Der er flere etager med mange forskellige visninger, og man kan bruge meget tid på se på skibet fra mange forskellige vinkler og etager.

Meget stor og tankevækkende oplevelse af historisk skib

Imponerende velbevaret gammelt kæmpestort krigsskib ca. 300 år gammelt . Udstillingen af skibet er utroligt detaljeret omgivet af flere etager (elevator),så man virkelig kan gå rundt om og se skibet fra mange vinkler . Skibet er fyldt med udskårne træfigurer ,som forestiller historiske skikkelser og gl.guder . Farvelagte kopier af figurerne vises på en af etagerne .. Hele skibet har haft strålende farver , kan ses i lille kopi,men fremstår nu med mørkt egetræ. Der vises film på mange sprog om skibets mærkelige skæbne , en interaktiv skærm muliggør man kan dykke ned i detaljer om skibets indretning.Selv nogle af de fundne søfolks skæbne er beskrevet .Gode adgangsforhold med café og shop ved udgangen.Påregn at bruge lang tid på,besøget , det er det værd

Virkeligt imponerende museum

Fantastisk, at der var så mange forskellige måder at formidle på. Først og fremmest det virkelig flotte originale skib. Filmen om Vasas historie, den mindre skibsmodel i farver, alle figurerne med beskrivelser, kopien af dækket, hvor man selv kan få en fornemmelse af de virkelige forhold. Selve museeums bygningen var utrolig flot.

Lækker historieformidling

Historien om skibet Vasa er utrolig flot formidlet, og man får også indsigt i 1600-tallets liv, og i arbejdet som konservator. Allerbedst syntes jeg om den lille deludstilling om kvindernes rolle dengang og hvordan historien indtil nu i høj grad har overset kvinderne. Ten med minimum to timer til denne udstilling.

Turen værd

Forbilledlig, varieret formidling som gør at man kan gå så meget i detaljer som man vil og fokusere på alverdens aspekter af Vasas konstruktion, dekoration, indretning, forlis, bjergning, bevaring mm. - eller bare suge det imponerende syn ind.

Fantastisk museum

Fantatisk museum. Start med at se filmen om hævningen af skibet, så giver tingene endnu bedre mening. Og filmen er tekstet på engelsk, så skidt med, at du/I vælger denne spanske sprogede version. Fed udstilling, korte præcise tekster til genstandene. Se det!

Must See i Stockholm

Jeg havde høje forventninger, men de blev til fulde indfriet på dette museum. Det er er fantastisk syn, der møder en allerede lige efter indgangen. Herefter er det bare at nyde at gå rundt og blive klogere på historien om forliset, 1600-tallet og hævningen af skibet. Fantastisk bygning, god gratis audioguide, gratis guidede ture, gode små film osv. Masser af plads selvom det var højsæson - ingen nævneværdig kø nogensteder. En af mine bedste museumsoplevelser. Teenagere og ægtefælle enige.

Fantastiskt!

Fantastiskt museum, så mäktigt! Kan varmt rekommendera ett besök.

You cannot go to Stockholm and not visit this museum

The ship is the star (solo star) of the museum but, the video presentation is well done and provide background that adds so much color to the storied ship. Buy tickets (or the Go-City pass in advance allowing you to get on the shorter, faster moving line. Don’t skip this experience.

Gewaltiges Kriegsschiff⛵️

Sehr schönes Museum, gewaltiges Kriegsschiff, sehr beeindruckend, Preislich etwas teuer aber es zahlt sich aus, man darf fotografieren so viel man möchte, saubere Toiletten und nettes Restaurant

Bästa museet

Förmodligen Stockholms bästa museum. Vackert, välordnat och mycket intressant. Alltid bra upplevelse även när det ät mycket folk. Alla borde besöka detta museum.

Bello

Il museo è vasto, cinque piani che permettono di ammirare il vascello da varie angolature ed altezze. Sì ha la possibilità di fruire di un video in varie lingue e visionare i reperti trovati all'interno che ci danno uno spaccato della vita dell'epoca. Attenzione, non si possono portare zaini e non c'è un deposito in cui lasciarli.

More impressive than we expected, for a museum about one ship

We honestly went in with modest expectations — it's a museum built around a single 17th-century warship, how much could there really be to it? We were wrong. The Vasa is fully intact and astonishingly well preserved for something that sank in 1628, and seeing it up close, at that scale, inside the museum is genuinely awe-inspiring. It's rare for one object to carry an entire museum, but this one does. We'd recommend going right at opening — it gets busy quickly, especially on a summer weekend, and having a bit of breathing room to take it in makes a real difference.

Exceptionally well done especially if taken it at your own pace - perhaps without the guided tour

This is my third trip visiting the Vasa museum and probably the best primarily because I did not do a guided tour and instead took my time reviewing all the signs and viewing all the exhibits at my own pace. The wealth of information that is available is impressive all the way from preservation techniques to history to intricacies of historical boat building. I would plan for 2 hours and ideally get there as soon as it opens because it gets very crowded very quickly with multiple tour groups coming through. They do sell food in a cafe. However, they also have an area inside in a room for those who bring their own food.

Unbeschreibliches Erlebnis

Ein sehr beeindruckendes Erlebnis welches in Bildern nicht wieder zu geben ist. Die Dimensionen des Ganzen, die Geschichte und wie sie dem Besucher nahe gebracht wird, man muss es einfach selber erlebt haben. Wir hatten eine ca. 2 stündige Führung durch das Museeum und haben wahrscheinlich nur ansatzweise an dem gekratzt was dieses Schiff historisch zu erzählen hat. Die Größe dieses Schiffes ist unvorstellbar. Nahezu >90% des Schiffes sind erhalten und das nach über 300 Jahren.

A Must See in Stockholm

What an amazing story and museum. I, like many Americans, had never heard the story of the Vasa until my visit to Stockholm. Visiting this museum was a highlight of our trip. So much to see and imagine here. Words can’t describe the feeling of walking into the museum and seeing the entire ship standing there just as it was when it fell to the bottom of the sea. Additional information about original art, the building of the ship, the time when it as built and some personal stories of those involved round out the museum. Seeing the movie about what happened is a must. In addition to the ship itself, I found the personal stories and the skeletal remains of the sailors, along with the DNA created images of what they would have looked like to be amazing. I would suggest spending an hour and a half to two hours there, depending on how fast you read and your depth of interest in information.

Wonderful historical museum

The Museum is a fascinating historical place. The video that they have does a great job explaining what this is all about. It’s right when you first walk in and they have it in multiple languages. So fascinating to understand something that happened 400 years ago and then the excavation of it. And the fact that they’ve put it back together is incredible. Make sure you go downstairs to the second floor to see the skeletons.

First rate museum. Worth getting there early.

One of the best museums I have been to. I would rate it alongside the titanic museum in Belfast. We visited on a Saturday at 10am and bought tickets on the door - no queue. We the walked straight into an English version of a 20 minute film about the ship, and ten minutes after that was an 45 minute tour of the museum with a guide. No extra cost for these two events. As you go round there is also a 10 minute film on why the ship sank. Set over 7 floors, we spent 2 1/2 hours there.

Must not miss in Stockholm

Wow. This was amazing. The ship reminded me of watching a Pirates of the Caribbean movie, when the pirates and ship came up out of the sea.

my review

I visited the Vasa Museum with my sister and a guide. I was quite struck by the sheer size of the ship, which left a strong impression on me. Later, once I returned to the hotel, I took the time to research and learn more about the history and significance of the Vasa.

Amazing

We really enjoyed our visit to the museum. We did not join a tour but just systematically wandered around the ship and the associated displays. The ship itself is impressive. There is information everywhere about what the various parts of the ship were for, and their significance. The separate displays giving details of how ships were built, what Stockholm looked like, what society was like at that time, were really engaging. I was particularly struck by the stories associated with the skeletal remains that had been found when the ship was recovered. It was beautifully respectful. And the displays on how the ship was actually found and then recovered were really interesting. A good way to spend a few hours just being educated.

Ein Muss wer im Stockholm ist

Auf der Hop on Hop off schiffsrunde hier Zwischenstopp gemacht. Total tolles Museum, sehr eindrucksvoll. Tolle Videofilme in X Sprachen. Kostenloser Audioguide zum Downloaden. So er mir riesiges altes Segelschiff im original zu sehen - Wahnsinn. Dazu die Story… 3 std. Einplanen! Lohnt sich sehr.

One and done

The Vasa museum is exactly what I expected, a humongous, fully intact Viking ship impressively displayed. There are lots of little side areas that explain life in the time and have relics and movies, and if you are a big fan of Vikings (not the ones from Minnesota), then you are going to love this museum. I went to get everyone off my back since I didn’t visit during my first trip to Stockholm. I am not a fan of that era of history, so for me it is one and done. I will say that I did like the island that it was located on, there are tons of things to do there and you can get there cheaply and easily on the ferry.

First rate museum, but be careful of pick pockets

The museum was exceptional, a really well presented display, together with a very informative short film giving background, would highly recommend. We arrived early, when it was less crowded, but numbers really increased towards mid-morning. One negative point, though. As a popular attraction, the area brings in pick pockets. Just after leaving, as we walked back towards the city, we felt some liquid fall onto us, thought at first it might be a passing seagull. In fact, the couple behind must have sprayed something, because they then rushed forwards with tissues, made a big thing of pointing out the marks on our clothes, and used the distraction to try and lift stuff from our pockets. They did not succeed, but it all came as a bit of a warning.

magnifique bateau

un endroit qu'il ne faut pas manquer. Le bateau exposé est de toute beauté et les explications qui entourent ce bâtiment donnent une idée de la réelle histoire de ce bateau. Prendre le bateau pour aller visiter le musée. Entrée payante

Incredible experience

I was really looking forward to this museum and it still exceeded my expectations. Incredible story and first class setup of the ship, exhibits and amenities, so you can immerse yourself fully into the experience. We bought tickets online which enables easy entry, then watched the movie, and used the included audio guide (take own device and ear phones). Amazing few hours, and we enjoyed our coffees in the cafe at the end.

Afternoon Visit to Vasa Museum

Visit to Vasa Museum came on a weekday enjoyed seeing the historic Vasa boat lots of history -there is a film to watch and other history items to view nice gift shop overall a good visit and recommended while visiting Stockholm

Un grand navire qui n’a jamais voyagé

Le musée retrace la construction, le naufrage dès son premier voyage, le renflouement et la rénovation de cet impressionnant navire. Sur 7 étages (avec ascenseurs), on découvre le vaisseau depuis la cale jusqu’aux voiles. Les explications sont claires. Un film dans toutes les langues résume cet odyssée. Il faut au moins 2 heures de visite. Seul reproche : le prix de 240 SEK (environ 24 €)

A most impressive museum

Wow is all we could say when we walked into the first room on seeing the mighty Vasa ship, so impressive, dark and moody room as well as the ship. We joined a twenty minute guided tour, included in the entrance fee, learning a little of the history and features of the ship. I don't know what is the best time to visit but we arrived at 1030 and the place was packed, there didn't seem to be locker rooms so backpacks on people's backs can be a great hindrance. We thoroughly enjoyed all the exhibits, the amazing stories of those who drowned on the maiden voyage disaster, profiling them and putting together their story and likeness. In the end the crowds drove us out after only two hours, otherwise a fabulous museum.

Outstanding

What a wonderful museum- we knew the Vasa was going to be huge but WOW its truly something everyone must see. Admission includes a guided tour- be sure to take it to learn the history- outstanding visit

Wonderful museum!

This is a wonderful museum with such an incredible history. The ship is frozen in time. There are multiple floors with exhibits, and you are able to view the ship from many levels. The move is shown in many languages and worth seeing. Staff is quite helpful. While it's on the dark side in the building, photography is possible. They recommend a jacket since the temperature is kept at a constant cool. Allow minimum 3 hours - more to read the displays. Crowds mid-day were on the larger size, but it didn't interfere with our visit. We took the boat from Gamla Stan to the Vasa dock and from there it was an easy walk. We purchased tickets online in advance and were able to use the pre-purchase ticket entrance. Don't miss. It's one of the best.

A must see!

An incredible experience! An amazing museum sharing the history of an amazing ship!

Better than my high expectations

Maybe the coolest museum experience I have ever had. We had high expectations and the Vassa exceeded them Really can’t describe how amazing it is to see this ship and learn all about it.

Vasa Museum, Stockholm / Sweden

Many of the world's famous attractions are worth seeing once. The Vasa Museum is different. It is one of those rare places that exceeds expectations and leaves you wondering how more people don't talk about it as one of Europe's truly great museums. The centerpiece, of course, is the Vasa itself—a remarkably preserved 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was recovered more than 330 years later. No photograph, documentary, or guidebook can prepare you for the moment you first see it in person. The sheer scale of the ship is breathtaking. Standing beside it, you quickly realize that this is not simply a museum exhibit; it is an extraordinary piece of history frozen in time. What makes the experience so special is the way the museum tells the ship's story. Beyond the dramatic tale of its construction, sinking, and recovery, visitors gain fascinating insights into Swedish history, naval engineering, craftsmanship, and daily life during the 17th century. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated and engaging, making complex historical topics accessible without ever feeling simplistic. The museum itself deserves considerable credit. Multiple viewing levels allow guests to appreciate the ship from every angle, revealing the incredible details of the carvings, decorations, and construction techniques. Whether you're a history enthusiast, maritime expert, architecture lover, or simply a curious traveler, there is something genuinely captivating here. What impressed most was that the Vasa Museum appeals equally to visitors who normally love museums and those who usually avoid them. The story is so remarkable and the artifact so unique that it transcends typical museum experiences. Stockholm offers many outstanding attractions, but if there is one place that absolutely should not be missed, it is the Vasa Museum. It is educational without being dry, impressive without being overwhelming, and unforgettable from the moment you walk through the door.

Stunningly Preserved Ship

Exceptionally preserved ship, Very remarkable to be able to view such a specimen in its entirety over multiple floors. Lots of signage and information available. Very good included tour. Could easily spend half a day exploring every detail.

The best boat museum

Just WOW. This is a stunning museum and a real testament to the conservators who have managed to keep the Vasa in such incredible condition. The ship is stunning as are the exhibits on the various levels which also enable you to get different perspectives of the boat. The stories of those who sailed her ( albeit not very far before it sank) are fascinating as are the painstaking reconstructions of the skeletons that were recovered. One of the most spectacular areas is the reconstruction of part of the lower decks with the canons , this gives you a real insight into the cramped conditions onboard.

Architecture and history

Literally all about one ship - enormous, fascinating and historically rich with lots of education, movies, displays and upclose exhibits but still just about one ship. The museum runs a bit cold, perhaps to help preserve the ship, consider taking a sweater!

Good half day trip from Gaml Stan on the 82 water bus.

Until our visit we thought that the Mary Rose was the pinnacle of recovery - but ‘hands-up’ the Vasa is magnificent. Very much intact and standing as high as a 4 or 5 storey building + the masts? Reconstructed ‘wax-works’ of the crews bodies are eerily lifelike. Guided tours in English included in the ticket price and a decent bistro.

Da fare ASSOLUTAMENTE

Bellissimo! Fantastico! Geniale! Un luogo pieno di storia. Unico veramente. Non andare è un po’ come non aver visitato Stoccolma!

One Ship. One Museum. Absolutely Spectacular.

The Vasa Museum is one of the most remarkable and unique museums I have ever visited. Period. At its core, the museum revolves around a single exhibit: one ship. In fact, the entire building was designed around it. That may sound limiting—or even boring—to some visitors, but the reality could not be more exciting. The Vasa is the world's only almost fully preserved 17th-century warship, and it is breathtaking. Standing before it, you quickly realize that this is far more than the story of a single vessel. It is a window into an entire era. Nowhere else have I gained such a vivid understanding of life aboard a warship of this period. Through the ship itself and the museum's outstanding exhibitions, visitors learn not only about the Vasa's tragic fate but also about naval warfare, shipbuilding, trade, exploration, and daily life at sea during the age of great maritime powers. The ship serves as a representative of an entire world long gone—from admirals and naval commanders to craftsmen and ordinary sailors. It tells the story of how navies operated, how ships were built and maintained, and what life was like for the men who served aboard them. The museum is both educational and deeply immersive. Its architectural presentation is stunning, and the way the Vasa is staged and illuminated creates a sense of awe that few museums can match. An eye-opening experience and, without question, one of the highlights of Stockholm. An absolute must-visit for anyone spending time in the city.

Amazing museum

What an amazing musuem, so much to see & do & it really take you back in time. A must when visiting Stockholm.

Fascinating history!

A very well done exploration of the Vasa warship. Great learning the history and being able to see all around the ship itself.

Excelente opcion para recorrer el casco antiguo de Estocolmo.
