Overall rating

based on 2,249 reviews

Must admit we were visiting Stockholm mainly for Abba. So glad we added this museum though. The ship is breathtaking and the rest of the museum has been thoughtfully and beautifully put together. Visit the film for the background, context and would recommend following the audio guide journey to really appreciate the history of this stunning boat. The restaurant was lovely too and I thoroughly recommend the meatballs

The Vasa Museum was the one museum I visited in Stockholm by recommendation, and I'm glad I did. The history and unfortunate demise of this war ship was so interesting and incredible to see up close. They offer 25 minutes tours in different languages every half hour as well as a historical video. I was able to see and learn a lot in the brief amount of time I was able to spend there. Definitely worth a visit!

My favourite museum on the planet. Nothing can prepare you for the experience. Truely magnificent ship in unbelievable condition. The presentation & explanation of the Vasa is world class. If you are in Stockholm you cannot miss this experience. I would give it 6 stars.

Great museum experience. A real once in a lifetime experience. The kids enjoyed it but adults loved it.

Stunning exhibit of the ship. Very informative museum; 100% recommended.
