Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
We will meet by the entrance of the museum, to skip the waiting line and enter the museum all together.
We will start by going over the Swedish Empire and the war in which Gustav Adolf had the ship commissioned, what was the purpose of the ship? Who was the enemy during these years? Something happened during the construction and the ship sank, what happened? and whose fault was it?
Many years later it was found and salvaged, but this was no easy task. We will go over the engineering project together and show you the maps used in the 19th century to find the location of the ship, and how it was found in the 1950s. Once it was salvaged, a time capsule of the 17th century was opened and many secrets were revealed of how life was back then.
This tour is the perfect choice for the ones who want to get a deep knowledge about everything that happened, in and out of the ship. Come full of questions, because we want to answer all of them!

5.00Admittedly, I am not a huge museum person- but this guided tour with Aggie was a highlight of our trip to Stockholm! Sadly, Aggie’s last tour was ours but don’t let that stop you from going. We learned so much! There are several other fun museums to visit on “museum island” too!
Wonderful experience

5.00When visiting Stockholm it’s a must to go to the Vasa Museum to see and hear about the 400year old warship. Our guide Katherine was excellent. Her knowledge and passion for sharing the amazing history of the Vasa was fantastic. We loved her energy and easy going nature while sharing the historical facts surrounding the sinking recovery and restoration of the famous Stockholm Vasa warship. A 5 star guide well worth the money. Thank you Katherine

5.00On a beautiful May morning, our guide met us outside the museum and was very good about keeping track of our small group. She was very well informed and very friendly, also telling us about the people who were onboard the ill fated ship, which brought history to life. We also learned about places to eat and what else to do in Stockholm. I recommend this tour-it was the highlight of our trip!
Gaia was awesome guide!

5.00Gaia was wonderful. I loved her enthusiasm and she was very knowledgeable. She reached out 24 hrs prior to the tour to let us know where to meet which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Gaia to learn about the history of the area and all the little known information about the Vasa.
