What To Expect
Vasa Museum
The Vasa Museum, ranked as one of the best 10 museums in the World is a must while visiting Stockholm. Commissioned in the 1620s during Sweden's Great Power Era by King Gustav II Adolf, this Royal war ship was to be the most powerful warship not only in the Baltic Sea, but perhaps in the entire world. But only 20 minutes after its departure on her maiden voyage, the Vasa capsized and sank into the Stockholm Harbor. After lying on the seabed of the Baltic Sea for 333 years, the Vasa was "rediscovered" and salvaged. The Vasa is one of Sweden's treasures. It is the only and best preserved 1600's galleon of its kind in the entire World. The Vasa does not appear to be a ship that was wrecked, but rather it seems to be a ship awaiting her next trip.

5.00The Vassa Museum is one of the most impressive museums we've ever visited. And our tour guide, Fer Donoso, was so knowledgeable, kind, funny and interesting! We highly recommend both the museum and Fer!
Grateful for the guided tour

5.00This was exceptional experience and even more so by having Maria Fernanda as my guide here and the Royal Palace. I’m sure that when I go back to Stockholm, I will be in contact with her again for more Stockholm insights. Well worth all the time. Lifetime of memories now! Also, when you both Maria Fernanda is listed as FER so be sure to ask for her!
Fer and the Vasa were a MUST!!!!

5.00We came to the Vasa on a damp day with large crowds. FER DONOSO TOURS met us with ease and took us straight in. Bypassing the crowds the insight and outlines she gave were insightful and entertaining. Even before our visit, we were welcomed almost as an honoured family guest by email. The tour was simply excellent. We could not imagaine the Vasa without this tour. We also were given advice on other spots in Stockholm we were seeing, as well as a gracious, witty and energetic hostess. Do oyurself a favour and book a tour with DER DONOSO!
SPECTACULAR AND SURPRISING!

4.00VASAMUSEET is a superb museum. Installed in modern facilities recreated to receive this rescued war vessel into the waters of Stockholm Harbour, the building was designed to view the navy vessel from all angles and at different levels. The ship was installed on a large concrete ship, which provides a fantastic view of the silhouette and the details of the ship’s exterior. The interior is not visible which removes some aura to the dazzling of the port of this powerful ship. Various adjacent spaces, large, modern, endowed with all the technologies, recreate old times and experiences, the Stockholm navigation, the customs and techniques of antanho. An indispensable and amazing visit to get to know the country better.
The best tour guide

5.00Our tour guide was Fer Donoso who was wonderful. We were a bit late getting to the museum as the taxi got caught in traffic, but Fer was happy to wait for us. She was very knowledgeable, professional and answered all our silly questions. She even gave us information about subjects outside her purview like how much to pay for a taxi & which ones to get & which ones to avoid. I would highly recommend Fer as an excellent tour guide
