The museum offers a rich display of historical artifacts, providing deep insights into the region's history. Walking through its ancient halls and climbing its towers was like stepping back in time. The scenic views from the top are breathtaking and well worth the climb. Overall, the Vyborg Castle State Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture.

Miki T — Google review
Museums are definetely not worth it, but you should 100% stroll around the castle itself. Very nice views, vibes are different from other places in the whole country (well it is the only real preserved medieval castle in all of Russia). 100% recommend but DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS with people dressed like knights and ladies, they will take all your money and then some!
Aleksey S — Google review
Worth enough to visit ! The museum tell us a lot about the history of Vyborg. Most of discriptions are written in Russian but unexpectedly there are some English,also! +At the end of October, some parts of the castle were under construction so I couldn't see the whole Tips: They offer a special discount for Russian student card holders! And I'm not sure about international student ID card but at least we can try it :)

We visited with our family and were absolutely impressed. We’ve been to several museums of this type, but this one deserves a full 5 out of 5. The exhibits engaged everyone – both adults and teenagers. There’s a lot to see and do, so we never got bored. We spent 3.5 hours here, and the time flew by. We could have stayed even longer, but unfortunately had to leave. The museum is enjoyable for children of all ages – even the little ones will find plenty to do. Everything is very interesting and well thought out. The only area for improvement would be providing more visual instructions, such as icons or pictures showing what to do or where to press. There’s also a café on site – we didn’t try it, but it’s great to have the option for a break. I would happily visit again.

Around Rakvere Linnus there are many places to sit down and enjoy the view as there are multiple outdoor theatres aswell as interconnected paths around the castle to walk on. By car, our recommendation is to drive up to the upper parking place if the narrow street up the hill is tolerable. There is also a lower parking place, but it includes climbing up stairs. Not only do we recommend the castle because of great views in, around and on top of the castle walls. There are activities for the whole familiy included in the base ticket. Our association took part in cannon firing and other medival interactive workshops/lectures.

We could check in a little bit earlier than usual, and also leave our luggage for some hours after checking out, while we were strolling around in the old town before taking out bus back to Helsinki. Thank you for a wonderful comfortable stay!

Charming bed and breakfast spot in Porvoo. A shame we only stayed one night but the accomodations were cozy and inviting. The room we stayed in had a kitchen as well as a spacious living room. The living room had a nice view of the river. It was in the center of the town and easily accessible to the old and newer areas of Povoo. This would be a nice place for summer trip with the family.

Very cute B&B along the river in Porvoo, Finland. I stayed in the Star Room, which is a bit separated from the main property. Owner knocked on the door as I arrived. He apparently also owns the nearby restaurant Ranta-aitta, which had its commissary and bathrooms across from the property. Be aware this property and its windows all face an alley that will have fairly heavy foot traffic in the afternoon/evening hours because of the restaurant. I immediately drew all the blinds when I entered the unit. Other than that privacy inconvenience, the location is fantastic, right on the main strip of the old town of Porvoo. Inside the unit you have a nicely functional kitchen and washer/dryer (which I used and was very convenient). There's two bathrooms, one with a shower and one without. Shower is a bit small and confining, but solid. The chairs in the kitchen were not super comfortable and the wifi didn't reach the bedroom very well, so if you need to do something online for a decent amount of time the unit isn't the most ergonomic solution for this situation. There is a piano in the unit! I did not play or know if it was actually encouraged but it's something to consider. There is access to a sauna that's across the street from the main property, which I used. Its heat doesn't get much higher than 60-70ºC but with plentiful water you can get enough steam for a good sweat. Breakfast was solid.

We (two adults) stayed at Ida-Maria in Jan/2021 for two nights in ”Pieni huoneisto, puutarhanäkymä”. The room was lovely, cozy and clean. Delicious breakfast and very good service! All of this in the heart of Porvoo Old Town. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

After spending just one or two days here, students can easily absorb knowledge equivalent to two or three years of a standard school science curriculum – and enjoy every minute of it! In addition to the main exhibition, Heureka regularly features fascinating themed sections that provide even deeper learning experiences. We were lucky to visit during the Experience the World in the Last Ice Age exhibition, which focused on the amazing animals that lived during that period. The life-sized models were so realistic they felt almost alive, creating an unforgettable and immersive atmosphere that truly brought the Ice Age to life. The exhibitions are creative, well-designed, and accessible to children of different ages. Everything is built to inspire curiosity and understanding through play, discovery, and experimentation. I highly recommend Heureka to families, educators, and anyone interested in making science come alive.

We had a fantastic time at the Heureka Science Museum! It’s the perfect spot for both kids and adults who love to explore, discover, and get hands-on with science. The exhibitions are interactive, creative, and beautifully designed to make learning fun and engaging. Our favorites were ice age exhibitions and the outdoor science park, which added an extra layer of excitement. Everything is well-organized, and most exhibits are available in multiple languages, including English and Finnish. Highly recommended for families, tourists, and anyone who enjoys a day full of curiosity and wonder!

Space exhibition was definitely worth a visit. My first visit to Heureka was over 30 years ago, but it still keeps surprising and the exhibitions are always interesting. Ice age moving mammoths and other animals were also interesting as usually you only experiment those as still standing setups. Visited it this on a regular Sunday, but might be interesting to visit during the themed NOX evening, when whole place is K18 and specific themed program is available as well.

Very nice and well executed science museum full of varied exhibits and demonstrations that take place throughout the day. The Ice Age animal exhibition was my favorite and my son really loved getting to build and test his own race car. This is a great way to spend several hours either the family! And the cafe has excellent food as well.

You can't but tickets online the same day, this is kind of strange. The parking is on the other side on the railroad – another oddity. The science center is huge and impressive though. Went here with two kids : 5 and 2.5. The older one was excited to try everything, however the most interesting things require 140cm of height and were unavailable for him. The small one was scared of the ice age animals but otherwise liked the museum. The cafe is extremely expensive, the buffet is mediocre. I'd recommend this place for 10+

Heureka is one of the must visit place in Vantaa. They havr variety of things(especially science and technology) to do and to see especially with kids, many creative, active, imaginative activities are available. But this tike they hace something special. The Ice Age Era which you can see a lot of animals from ice age, 14.000 years ago. They have some explanation about the animal, what happened to them and many more. You can see how big they are omgggg. They have a space which they train some rats to do some interesting activities, a section to know what blind people feel, a plac

Tallinn Town Hall

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Tallinn Town Hall is a Gothic building located in the center square of the medieval Old Town. It has a rich history dating back to the 13th century and offers concerts and tours for visitors. The area surrounding the town hall is filled with narrow streets and various historical landmarks, such as the Old Thomas weather vane atop the building since 1530.
Visited with hubby and teenage daughter. Spent longer in there than we thought we would. Found it interesting but we're history nerds. Others, probably nipped round quicker. Good view across old town square from top floor. Didn't climb the tower - too many stairs!
Paula S — Google review
The Tallinn town hall is your typical museum setup. Info about the old town since the 1300s. Not much to say about that. The tower was pretty cool though. Got to go up to the bell and see the city from there. Not sure if the €20 was worth it.
Chad C — Google review
A top stop! Lovely preserved old building with cool stuff and good descriptions in English. Plenty to see, it’s not just a reading experience. The floor just under the roof is super cool. If you’re up to it, climb the tower for a unique view. Note the climb is very steep, can be very crowded and may have a long.
Cynthia C — Google review
Most people only talk about the Tallinn Town Hall for its beautiful building, but there is so much more to it. Can you imagine that it has a museum inside? I didn’t know until I went there. I like the museum because it talks about a special street, the “Pikk Street”, in Danish this would translate to “dick street”. Good thing Estonia isn’t Danish anymore. But funnily enough this reminded me of all the Dicks Streets back in Luxembourg. A strangely comforting thought. There are many places to sit down in the museum, which is a criteria I always use to rate the visitability of a museum. Especially because I have a friend who loves to sit down. The more my friends can sit, the happier I am. We also found out about the Estonian fascination with weather vanes. They’re not just regular weather vanes, they are enormous. You can really not miss them on top of churches or in this case inside the museum. Now coming back to the start, people may admire the view of the building but from the museum you have a beautiful view onto the city. It really is a must visit.
Baptiste J — Google review
This old town feels like stepping straight into a fairy tale – except instead of a dragon, you’re most likely to bump into a tourist wielding a selfie stick. Narrow cobblestone streets twist between colorful medieval buildings, and no matter which way you go, the town hall finds a way to peek at you from somewhere – like it’s playing hide and seek, and always winning. The atmosphere takes care of itself. While you're sipping coffee or nibbling on a local pastry, a horse-drawn cart might gently roll by, and someone in medieval costume could pop around the corner. For the tourists? For fun? Or maybe just a lost time traveler. Who’s to say. Town hall itself is a Gothic masterpiece from the 14th century, and it still holds court with pride. If Tallinn does one thing exceptionally well, it's blending history with charm. And if you find yourself taking photos of the same tower from every imaginable angle… trust me, you’re not alone. This place does that to people.

Tallinn Town Hall has its own museum inside dedicated to both the building’s past and the city’s. It was interesting to learn that there were writings about the Town Hall from 1200s. Entrance fee is 20 euros but free if you have a Tallinn city card.

Tallinn Town Hall is a stunning landmark that perfectly captures the spirit of the Old Town. The Gothic architecture, intricate details, and panoramic views from the tower make it well worth a visit. Inside, the exhibits give a fascinating glimpse into Tallinn’s rich history and civic life. Whether you’re exploring the square below or climbing to the top for amazing city views, the Town Hall is a must-see stop for anyone visiting Tallinn!
William O — Google review
It takes about an hour to look round the town hall. The tapestries and carvings are nice, I was lucky in that one of the employees who works in the museum was happy to answer questions about the exhibts. The attic has lots of information boards explaining how the town hall was restored. The cellar contains an older version of the weather vane 'Old Thomas' but there is no explanation as to who he was. Would not recommend to a family with children.

Maritime museum

Specialty Museums
Lennusadam, also known as the Seaplane Harbour Museum, is a maritime museum housed in a 16th-century tower and a remarkable hangar built under Peter the Great. It boasts a submarine and a sunken ship from the 1560s. The museum offers an immersive journey through maritime history with over 200 authentic items, interactive activities, simulators, and a big aquarium. It is considered one of Europe's biggest maritime museums and is popular among history enthusiasts.
One of the best museums I’ve ever visited! Definitely worth checking out, especially with kids. It’s full of informative and interactive exhibits related to maritime history. There’s a real submarine you can enter and explore in detail. You’ll also find various ships, sails, maps, cannons, and seaplanes. Two seaplanes let you sit inside and try a basic but fun flight simulation. There’s also a remote-control boat activity where you can steer small ships, and a computer game where you rescue someone at sea. A small submarine theater shows a lovely cartoon about the importance of sea life and keeping the Baltic Sea clean. Kids can try rope climbing up a mast (extra fee) and enjoy a small playground. There’s so much to see and do—highly recommended! 😄

This is a fantastic museum, I only really wanted to go for the sake of going inside submarine. However, it turned out to be so much fun. It's very interactive, lots of exhibits for you to play around with. You can go in a flight simulator, drive toy boats, climb netting from a ship mast & much more. Out the back, there's also boats you can see/go on with your ticket. Be careful trying to climb inside the submarine though, it's not an easy feat 😂. This museum is included in the Tallin card which I highly recommend you buy.
Tyler L — Google review
Simply put one of the best museums I’ve been to. It’s like no expense was spared when building this place. They have a beautiful building which houses a huge submarine that you can fully explore. They have lots of interactive exhibits including a flight and boating simulators. And outside there were at least four boats or small ships you could go on. I would highly recommend vista if museum if in Tallinn.
Jay K — Google review
Wonderful naval museum! They have an original mine laying submarine from the 1930s as the centerpiece; also a very interesting section about the Estonian Navy; plus the remains of an medieval boat; plus a large section about sea mines; plus so much more. And they have lots and lots of activities for kids, like two bi-plane simulators, some boat simulations, a harborbwhere you can steer your own ship .., it is just a marvellous place if you are interested in maritime things. And there also is a very nice café on a terrace overlooking the museum. A clear highlight of any visit to Tallinn! There is ample parking space around the museum, but you have to pay with the Snabb-App, since the parking is managed by this company. And beware - they are diligently checking, if you have paid ...

Superb museum. This is how items should be displayed in a 21st century museum. Fantastic lighting, interactive displays and interesting artifacts. No dusty cabinets here. Highly recommended and don't forget to go outside and go on the boats as well, they are included in the entrance fee but this wasn't made clear when we arrived 😁
Paul A — Google review
As a Londoner, I'm spoilt by having some of the biggest and best museums in the world. So, it's a compliment to this one when I say it's very good - thoughtful design and consideration for users, balancing the needs of kids and adults. The Estonian airforce and navy have always been small, so the breadth and depth is limited, but what there is, is well stated. However, I was perplexed that no date was given for their star archaeological exhibit (the skeleton of the wooden boat). Well worth 1-2 hours, especially as the surrounding area has great food and other interest.

Lennusadam is one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited 🚢✨. Housed in a stunning seaplane hangar, it combines history, technology, and hands-on fun in the best way. Walking through a real submarine, seeing historic ships up close, and exploring interactive exhibits makes it an experience for all ages. The building itself is breathtaking, and the harbor views outside are just as beautiful. A perfect mix of learning and adventure—this isn’t just a museum, it’s a full journey into Estonia’s maritime past.

Toompea is a historic limestone hill in Tallinn's old town, featuring a castle, tower, and government buildings. The area includes the best viewing platform in Tallinn and the Danish King Garden with statues of faceless monks. One notable building is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, a stunning Russian Orthodox church constructed during Estonia's time under the Russian Empire. Toompea Hill also hosts Toompea Castle, now used by the Estonian parliament.
The view from Toompea hill to the old town is very beautiful. I was lucky to see Northen lights from there.

The Toompea hill and Castle are located near the famous Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and it’s also 10 minutes walking distance from the Old town main square. We didn’t visit the building inside, and we saw there were English tours that you could book, but we won’t had enough time and we decided to walk around and check the beautiful views that this place has from Tallinn old town city and we think it’s a nice place to explore a little more if you have more time. Eli: 5 / Serge: 5 Recommended: Yes, the area has a beautiful view even if you don’t visit the places inside. Tips: - Comfortable shoes are recommended, since the pavement of the Old Town streets, in general, are made with paving stones.

Turku Castle

History museum
Turku Castle, a 13th-century fortress turned museum, offers a glimpse into its transformation from medieval stronghold to Renaissance palace. Situated on the edge of the river Aura since the 1280s, it stands as Finland's largest surviving medieval building and one of only three castles in the country. Despite Turku's Great Fire wiping out much of its medieval splendor, this iconic attraction remains unscathed and is among Finland's most visited sites.
Admittedly I thought this was going to be another tourist trap. On the outside it reminds me a little of Brans Castle but for €16 admission I thought it was going to scarce. I was greeted warmly and it was mentioned that free lockers were available. I was more than happy to drop my cumbersome backpack. I loved the transition between each room, it felt natural with the narrow steps and ceiling and everything had good presented information. Once I had gone round the castle I collected my bag then headed to what was signed as gift shop. I wasn't prepared for another massive tour of things. I spent a good few hours here. Would definitely recommend.
Penny L — Google review
Turku Castle was an impressive and pleasantly surprising visit. At first glance, the exterior didn't seem particularly breathtaking, but as I got closer and walked around the grounds and then inside the castle, I appreciated it a lot more. I spent a full three hours exploring the castle, and there was so much to see and learn. The exhibits were great, with lots information and interactive elements that provided more insight into the intertwined history of Sweden and Finland. One of the things I learned was that this castle used to be on an island and was connected to the mainland later, which I found quite cool. For some reason I was particularly fascinated by all the windows that you could see from the inner courtyard! The little park around the castle is a lovely and peaceful space to walk through. I also have to mention the museum shop, which has a lot of interesting items.

Turku Castle is an absolutely fascinating place to explore! The architecture, exhibits, and well-preserved rooms really bring Finnish history to life. Walking through the halls feels like stepping back in timem. It’s definitely one of the highlights of Turku and worth spending a couple of hours discovering all its corners. One small tip for future visitors: I couldn’t easily find a public WC or urinals during my visit, even the paid ones. Overall, a wonderful and memorable visit — highly recommended for anyone interested in history, castles, or just enjoying a unique cultural landmark in Finland

A historical place that was the central location of Finland for hundreds of years when Finland was a part of Swedish kingdom. As a castle it's not that spectacular compared to castles in other parts of Europe, but for understanding Finnish medieval and renessaince history, it's an important place to visit. It has burned down several times, last time during WWII, so pretty much all wooden parts are relatively new compared to the age of the castle.

Worth a visit! Every corner of Turku Castle tells another story about its history. I visited on Turku Day (third Sunday of September), and in the courtyard there was medieval music playing, I’m not sure if that happens regularly, but it definitely made my visit feel like time travel. My husband and I explored the castle for about 2 hours and 30 minutes, which I think is enough time to see everything at a relaxed pace.

Skansen

Mentioned on 
+180 other lists 
Open air museum
Museums
Skansen is a renowned open-air living history museum in Sweden, featuring over 150 historic buildings from across the country and a replica of a 19th-century Swedish town. Visitors can interact with craftspeople dressed in period costumes as they demonstrate traditional trades such as glass-blowing and cobbling. The picturesque gardens and small zoo offer opportunities to see Nordic animals like otters, brown bears, and moose.
The Skansen Open-Air Museum in Stockholm is an absolute highlight and one of the most unique attractions in the city. It beautifully combines history, culture, and nature in one place, offering visitors a chance to step back in time and experience Swedish traditions in an authentic way. Walking through Skansen feels like traveling across Sweden’s past. The historic houses and farmsteads, each carefully relocated and restored, bring to life different regions and eras of the country. Costumed guides demonstrate traditional crafts, baking, and daily activities, making the experience both educational and entertaining. A special highlight is the zoo within Skansen, which focuses on Nordic animals. Seeing moose, bears, lynxes, reindeer, and even wolverines up close is unforgettable, especially for visitors who may not encounter these animals elsewhere. For families with children, the children’s zoo is a joy, offering a chance to meet farm animals and enjoy interactive activities. The location itself is stunning, with panoramic views over Stockholm and its waterways. Whether you’re interested in history, culture, wildlife, or simply a relaxing day outdoors, Skansen has something for everyone. In short, Skansen is more than a museum — it’s a living, breathing piece of Sweden. A perfect blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty, and a must-see for anyone visiting Stockholm.

This ws my first open air museum experience. I loved it. There were even people role playing from the era they belonged. The historical walk was an amazing experience. Although all the places wete not open, I could still get to experience few of the attractions. I personally was amazed by the glass making workshop. The zoo on the other side was also a fun experience. The ticket also included access to the match museum. It was worth the money and time. I ended up spending 3+ hours, yet I could not go to all the spots. Children's would love this place no doubt. During summer, this is the best place to come along with family. Online tickets are cheaper then buying on spot.

Loved our visit to Skansen! We went in early November and despite some attractions being shut, we still had a fantastic day. You really need a full days’ visit to see everything. You can walk around and see people dressed up in traditional clothing, some people will also interact with you or answer any questions you might have about their house. We saw the glassblowing and pottery demo and spoke to the nice man in the spice shop who made us feel like we were transported back in time to the 1800s. Don’t miss out on the English-speaking tour that starts by the top of the escalators as the guide takes you to parts of Skansen you don’t get access to on your own. The animals were a real highlight, we also loved seeing the smaller ones in the children’s zoo (bunnies, guinea pigs, mice). The seal talk is in Swedish but they do a demonstration of the keepers feeding the seals and that is also lovely to see. There was a lot to see and not enough time to go to the aquarium on our visit so we didn’t do that. There are some food stalls, a nice sit down restaurant and snacks being sold so we were able to have a lovely lunch inside. We booked our tickets online ahead of our visit.

We had a great time at Skansen. The old houses and farm buildings were fascinating to walk through – each one comes from a different part of Sweden, so you really get a feel for how people lived in the past. Seeing the Nordic animals was another highlight for us; lynx, wolverines, bears, and moose all in one place is pretty special. We visited as two adults, but it’s easy to see how much fun this would be for my kids too, with the animals, open-air history, and hands-on activities. There are also cafés and nice spots to take a break, so you can easily spend most of the day here. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Stockholm.

It was one of the best places I have ever been to. We booked the “Morning with animals” experience and it was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever done.

As for the park, we got to see a lot of local animals and it was magical. The buildings are also stunning and incredibly beautiful, making you feel like you’re in a fairy tale. Would visit every weekend if it were possible.

Visiting ABBA The Museum was an unforgettable experience! Even if you’re not the biggest fan of the band, the museum’s interactive exhibits make it fun and engaging for everyone. I loved stepping into recreated stage outfits, recording my own ABBA song, and seeing original memorabilia up close. The atmosphere is energetic and joyful, and the staff are welcoming. It feels less like a traditional museum and more like stepping into the world of ABBA. Definitely a must-see if you’re in Stockholm!

One of the BEST museums I’ve ever been to! It could be because I am an ABBA fan and so is my family, but another big reason is that the museum has so many FUN INTERACTIVE elements that there’s no way you ain’t gonna enjoy once you enter. From dancing, singing, designing your own costume, to playing the musical chess, I think this museum is just one of its kind and a MUST MUST MUST visit when in Stockholm!

A fun museum!! I am not one to really enjoy museums and this one was worth the time and cost. The first display I saw was about the show in London with holograms. I never knew that and found it absolutely fascinating what they did! I loved the interactive 5th member of Abba stage, the silent disco, and the fun mirrors and photo taking opportunities. I enjoyed the Mama Mia area explaining the movie. As someone who never saw the movie, I found the information and designs interesting. There is a large section with post Abba music from all the members. I never knew the amount of music the members post group. This is a fun museum and I recommend it to everyone.

So much fun! Tons of original artifacts, storytelling, and interactive exhibits celebrating the music of ABBA. If you love this band’s timeless pop hits (and really, who doesn’t?), you’ll have a blast and learn something to deepen your connection with “Dancing Queen,” “Take a Chance on Me,” and all the rest. Long live ABBA!

For music lovers, this is a Must Go place if you're in Stockholm. In fact, this is probably the main reason why you should make a trip to Stockholm!! A pilgrimage of sorts for us especially the generation that grow up listening to songs with really good melodies. ABBA epitomizes Pop music at a time when folks crosses over to Pop. We'll always be listening to Dancing Queen, Fernando, Mamma Mia, Money Money Money, Thank You for the Music, etc. These are truly evergreens. Although it's rather small in size, you should expect to spend 2 to 3 hours here. It's so nostalgic, capturing and each display will bring you back to the years gone by. Maybe even some tears as you start reminiscing your younger days. Even if ABBA is not up your alley, this is still a must go place if you're into music. Enjoy!!

Awesome experience with an audioguide (using your own smartphone, bring earphones) to tell the story of how the band formed, their inspiration, composition process, and more. There was also a fun, interactive part to sing with the songs from ABBA in a mini studio, a show to perform side by side with them, and a nice bar and restaurant in the entrance. I’d like to have seen more options to purchase in the shop.

Vasa Museum

Museum
Historical landmark
The Vasa Museum in Stockholm is a must-visit attraction, housing the incredibly well-preserved Vasa ship, which tragically sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and was salvaged centuries later. This popular museum offers an immersive journey through Sweden's maritime history, showcasing the meticulously restored vessel and providing insights into its ill-fated expedition. It appeals to history enthusiasts, maritime history buffs, and families seeking educational experiences.
Visiting the Vasa Museum was, without question, one of the absolute highlights of our time in Stockholm. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the breathtaking sight of the nearly fully intact 17th-century warship that gives the museum its name. Photos honestly don’t do it justice — the size, craftsmanship, and sheer presence of the Vasa are overwhelming in the best way. It’s one of the most incredible old-world ships I’ve ever seen, both in scale and in the intricacy of the carvings and details that have been so remarkably preserved. What really adds to the experience is the storytelling. There’s an almost cinematic quality to learning that the ship — after all the effort and grandeur that went into building it — sank on its maiden voyage just minutes after setting sail. That “spoiler” moment doesn’t diminish the tour; if anything, it makes the rest of the exhibits even more compelling. The museum does a fantastic job of unpacking the engineering flaws, the historical context, and the recovery efforts in ways that keep both casual visitors and history buffs hooked. One of the best surprises was the basement level. Unlike the ornate upper floors, it has a more relaxed, less crowded feel, with fascinating displays about the preservation process and everyday life on the ship. If you visit Stockholm, this is a non-negotiable must-see. Plan to give yourself at least two hours to really take it all in.

I didn't think the Vasa was going to leave the mark on me that it did. When I visited, I had a bad back and this museum had plenty of places to stop and rest and take pressure off my back. It's a good 7 floors. You can see almost every angle of the ship. The artwork and carvings on the outside of the ship was amazing to see the extensive detail and expressions. The size of the smallest mast was shocking. It really gave the vision of how large the ship truly is. We enjoyed the painted sculptures to show what they most likely looked like when they were on the ship. The museum took about an hour for us to tour. We didn't do the walking tour and we didn't have a guided tour either. But if you are extensively into history or the full story of the ship, I would recommend it. The gift shop has lots of souvenirs and is worth the stop

The Vasa Museum was a pretty awesome thing to see in Stockholm. The 17th century warship is so well preserved. In fact, it is still an incredible 98% original. There is an auditorium where you can watch a short film about Vasa, which was very helpful and educational. The ship is actually still actively being worked on to preserve it, decades after it was salvaged in the 1960s. If you are a visiting Stockholm for the first time, I highly recommend that you visit this amazing museum.
Liam C — Google review
The Vasa Museum is a very well designed and built museum, with lots of fun facts and information regarding living on the ship, what happened to it, etc. I found it very informative and interesting. And of course, the preserved ship was just amazing. I’d say the price is worth it, we spent somewhere between 2-3 hours here. It was a bit crowded, not gonna lie, but still manageable. If you are visiting Stockholm, you should definitely check out this museum!
Hajnalka K — Google review
A must-visit in Stockholm! The museum is laid out so nicely. Each floor is dedicated to specific “layers” of the ship, so you are learning about something that you can see directly from where you are standing. The bottom floor has very interesting stories about the people on it, as well as DNA research into who they were. We spent an hour here as we arrived close to closing time but easily could have stayed for much longer — wish we had two hours or more!
Tanya G — Google review
This was one of the most interesting museums I’ve ever been to. My initial thought was, how much content could there be for a museum about just one boat? Well tons! They found a way to highlight so many aspects of this ship’s short journey. The museum touches on the passengers, the construction, the history and the unfortunate fate of the ship’s maiden voyage among many other aspects. This museum is well worth your time.
Jason T — Google review
The museum was simply amazing. I had never seen or visited anything like it before. It made a strong impression on both me and my boyfriend. Although I’m not particularly interested in ship-related themes, I was very pleasantly surprised. I found it fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable, and two hours passed completely unnoticed. My boyfriend was also deeply impressed and said it is simply the best museum in Stockholm. We visited in the evening, and I think it’s better to come earlier to avoid time constraints. Also, during the day, the interior is probably brighter, which might make the experience even better.
Lizaveta K — Google review
This is an impressive museum. Not only have they built a building around the ship, but many different sections that highlight various aspects of the ship and life on it. The many different texts were informative and luckily not too long. Listening to the audio via qr code is an easy and convenient way to get a feel for the narrative around the ship.

Fotografiska Museum Stockholm is housed in a historic customs house and is renowned for its contemporary photography exhibitions featuring works by Swedish and international photographers. The museum offers captivating installations, workshops, and interactive sessions for families and older children. Visitors can enjoy scenic dining options with waterfront views at the top-floor restaurant while taking in the gourmet food and world-class photography on display across four floors of the converted Art Nouveau warehouse.
The best museum ever, really. It’s the third time I come to Stockholm especially for see the exhibition here. It’s always super interesting but it’s a complete experience. The restaurant- the food is so good and the music is so cool; the architecture and the interior design is so cosy; the shop : you want to buy everything. The personal is very welcoming and sympathetic. Really it’s an addiction. I went to Berlin, Tallinn and New York for see the others Fotografiska and I’m super exiting to go to the one in Shanghai this summer.

Amazing restaurant experience with lovely staff and ambience. We had these two ‘snacks’ first, a thin sliced boar on toast (but much more than that) and a cup of goat cheese w berry. The tomato mezze was sublime and the squid with poached egg was my highlight; probably my best squid dish in years. Fun room with kitchen action plus views of the harbor. Free admission to museum with your reservation💕 Thanks all!

Excellent photography gallery in a striking coastal location in Stockholm. Located in an excellent architectural conversion of a previous customs building offers some dynamic exhibition spaces. On display at the time were exhibitions by the photographer video and film director Anton Corbijn , international images by Viviane Sassen and mid 20th century photographs by Hans Hammarskiold.

Great museum in an old building, interesting exhibitions. The bistro is excellent! Ate a pulled pork burger and an apple tart, and it was very good quality for a fair price. It has a lounge area, with great photos on rotation on huge screens. Very good ambiance. If I visit Stockholm again, this will be a must!

Fotografiska is such a cool place modern, creative, and full of inspiring exhibitions. The photos are always top-notch, and they rotate often, so there’s something new every visit. The café upstairs has one of the best views in Stockholm (and great food too!). Even if you’re not super into photography, it’s worth going for the atmosphere alone.

I was bemused . I expected something fresh , avant- guard but instead was accosted by the tried and true. I was hoping for an elevation but that never happened. There were two works that were impressive, and that I attribute to the skills of the photographers. In essence the body of work rehased seasoned tropes.

Additionally, visitors can enjoy the amusement park's attractions and even take a dip in the nearby Baltic Sea.
Incredibly well thought out park. I was expecting a theme park similar to Grona Lund, but this was smaller and better quality. The zoo was a great experience, good mix of exotic and farm animals. 10/10 will definitely be back again
Nathan O — Google review
It was a good place, I would recommend more animals perhaps and more chairs to sit in, I know it was many but since it was so many people sitting we really had hard time finding place to sit, all the games were fun too but honestly the guy who hold the bumping cars was really annoying, didn't let our kid to go in because he was literally short for 2cm only and his dad was going with him anyway, but the same son could go on the roller coasters for big kids, like for real, other than that it was a fun day for tbe kids and had so much fun
Bint E — Google review
We visited on a Sunday in October. The park is amazing for kids, especially if they are above 120 cm and at least 6 years of age. There were practically no lines, so the boys really got a lot of rides for the very reasonable entry price. The Halloween decor was great, especially with all the spooky actors walking around. The accessibility with the train from Uppsala is one of the best things. For 39 SEK Mälartåg takes just over an hour and drops you off at the entrance. So smooth.
Bor G — Google review
Was there to see Alphaville and they were brilliant. There was around 9000 visitors at the park and apparently it is alot. 10-30 min wait times for the rides and kiosks ran out of bottled water fast, only alkohol was left. It is a small park, if you bring your kids prepare a bag with refreshments to avoid the insane lines at kiosks. Parking is free for members, around 90-120kr/day depending on where you park. The traffic jam leaving the park was huge but if common sense is used (seems to be lacking in many cases), it aint that bad.

Visited during Halloween. We had a wonderful day at the park. The decor is perfect, the attractions are themed and sensational, and the costumed staff were friendly and welcoming. Furuvik has a beautiful structure and several attractions. We spent the day at the park, riding several rides, and the lines weren't too long, with acceptable wait times. Plus, it's located across from a train station. Recommended!

Although it is a bit far from Stockholm, it is well connected by train and is convenient to access. The advantage is that there are fewer people, so you can enjoy it without waiting in long lines. It is very well decorated for children and the prices are reasonable. If there's anything I regret, it's Parking lots are collected by the day, not by the hour. Who will park for a day?

This is truly one of the better family parks I have visited. I was most impressed by the zoo and its rich content. The animals look healthy and well cared for, which is not always the case in all parks of this species. In addition, children can play here in the amusement park, and then swim in the Baltic Sea. There are also several restaurants and bars on offer, so you certainly won't be hungry if you haven't brought food with you. I definitely recommend visiting this place if you are nearby, you will be able to have quality fun all day.

Child-friendly museum attraction where visitors learn about science through interactive experiments.
An excellent experience for both parents and children. Even if your children are small, they will enjoy this dynamic environment. It's beneficial for older children to learn and review physics and science principles. There are indoor and outdoor locations, four stories of various exploration, and plenty of cafes and dining options. We'll definitely be back.

A wonderful place for children and adults alike. Little ones can playfully discover the laws of physics, learn about the human body and learn through play. The whole design of the place is stunning. And the food in the restaurant was a real culinary experience. I highly recommend it, it is worth spending a long time here

It's an amazing place to take kids to. We visited on a Sunday when there were the least amount of people and there were still plenty of people at every attraction. A pretty good dining area and food is prepared quickly, I'd not recommend the burger, the patty is dry burned and small with not much else in it except a salad leaf and two tomato slices with dressing.
Fredrik C — Google review
A wonderful experience both for parents and kids. If your kids are on the younger side, this place is so interactive they still love it anyway. For older kids (and parents), it's nice to learn and relearn some physics and science concepts. There's indoor and outdoor areas, 4 floors of different exploration, cafes and eating area aplenty. We will be back for sure There is plenty of parking behind the building, and seems like the turn over is high enough. Easypark app or pay meter on site.

I’ve visited many science centers such as the Exploratorium in San Francisco, Technorama in Switzerland, and the Experimentarium in Copenhagen – and I must say, Tom Tits is definitely among the best ones. What I really love is the DIY, slightly vintage style. Some may see it as outdated, but for me that’s exactly the charm and beauty of this place. The kids and I especially enjoyed the large outdoor area with all its hands-on experiments. The ground floor and 1st floor were also excellent, though we found the 2nd and 3rd floors a bit less exciting. The absolute highlights were the centrifugal force wheel and, of course, the bike on the rope – unforgettable experiences for both kids and adults! Highly recommended for families who love to explore and playfully discover science.

Sebastian H — Google review
Smells like old people in there, if you can stand that fact, there is probably 10 to 12 attractions that are worth your time, that's If you got kids! The backyard has overgrown grass and is barely well kept, that's where the water tricks are. Food is none existing, very poor offerings so you'll need to find a restaurant close to it. Spoiler, there is none. All and all, it's not really worth the price but if you got some cash to burn, go for it. The experiment may been exciting 15 years ago, but even the ones that surprise you are actually long over due, I'm afraid.
Daniel F — Google review
Really fun place for kids (and playful adults). It's also a great lunch buffé with desert included. They add and remove some experiments every year so if you haven't been here in a while you will see new stuff. The latest update I've seen is the Mathematics room that replaced the thermal camera room. It was fun as well but I hope they put up the thermal camera somewhere else because that type of equipment is more unusual for kids to see somewhere else. From the autumn holiday week the outdoor section is closed for the winter. Longer opening hours during the summer school holiday is extra good.

We came here during Halloween and spent two full days. Although our child was too young to enter the haunted houses, there were many fun tunnel- and maze-like setups in the forest. The giant spider and dragon models were great, and the smoke and air effects really added to the atmosphere. We also took the cable car and saw some animals in the areas that weren’t open to the public — it was truly wonderful.

Beautiful park with great attractions for kids, but not tourist-friendly The park has lots of different animals and shows — really great attractions for kids! The grounds are beautiful, clean, and well maintained, and the animals and shows are fantastic. Hope, the dolphin show, was amazing and definitely a highlight of our visit. However, I was quite disappointed that everything was only in Swedish — all the signs, guides, and maps. It was not easy to find the different locations, especially since the park is huge and the signs only show distances, not directions. There was no printed daily program available either. They said you could find it online, but what if you’re a tourist or don’t have internet access? Even when we did check online, it was not clear what times the shows were or what to expect. Overall, it’s a beautiful park and worth visiting, but I really hope they make it more accessible for international visitors in the future.

Astrid Lindgrens Värld is a child-friendly theme park located in Vimmerby, Sweden, where visitors can immerse themselves in the world of Astrid Lindgren's beloved characters.

Visitors can explore Astrid Lindgren's childhood home at the nearby Nas farm.
Great overall experience. We were there on a weekday before vacation time to avoid too much crowd. Nice for both kids and adults and even though our kids are a little too young (4 and 2 years old) to be a perfect match for the theme park we all had a wonderful time. Awesome performances from the actors and really nice to stay a while AFTER each performance to meet and play with the actors, doing some small playful tasks with them or hear them sing etc... We were there two days to stress less and have time to see more of the performances. One day could work to see some shows and explore the rest, but two days are probably the best if you have not been there before and want to experience most things! Highly recommended 🙂

If you know some of the Astrid Lindgren stories it's lovely to walk around and see all the small worlds built up. Many play areas for kids, lots of food options, green areas where you can sit and relax or have picnic. The theatre shows are wonderful, good length, well done and fun, our soon to be 5year old loved them. We felt satisfied after almost 4 hours in the park but I know a lot of people stay a whole day or even two days. We had a dog with us, they're allowed but not everywhere inside buildings and so on.

We really enjoyed our visit with our 6-year old kid. After the first day, we even upgraded to a second day (which gives a bit of a discount) to really explore everything the park has to offer. The theaters were very well and professionally done and our kid watched almost all of them, even if not understanding Swedish. It was great that actors stay around between shows, giving live to the whole scenery, which can also be freely explored. The only downside of the park is the food, which had a quite limited choice and the price/quality wasn't perfect. But overall, we definitely enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and liked the park!
Andreas J — Google review
Lovely place but it’s just too expensive and to be honest the whole experience was moderate simply due to both tickets and things in the park being a rip off. For marginally more we could have got 7-10 days in the Mediterranean which to be honest I’d prefer. Shame with the greedconomy…

Worth the money! High quality shows, with an incredible ensamble, giving their all, despite the summer heat. Interacting with the children after every show! They also used real animals in some of their shows, a horse in Pippi and a real hen in Emil (seemed happy and the horse was in the ahade eating treats). Lots of places to eat, with vegetarian options, toilets were very clean. Several places to refill water bottles and no problem finding shade on hot summer days. Also a little petting zoo, with goats and their babies, at the "Leklandan". No wait at the entrance, we were there 3 minutes after opening. About 6-7 min traffic queue. I recommend going 15-20 min minutes before opening if you want to be on time.

What a great experience! It's like an open-air musical / theatre festival with several short shows from the most famous Astrid Lindgren books and characters. You can move from stage to stage and dive into Katthult, Villa Villekulla, Mattisborgen to see the performances, take a look behind the stages and interact with the actors between the plays. It seems that everyone loves their jobs here and likes to create a great experience for the whole family. My favorite were the Ronja Rövardotter performances. The entrance is quite pricy but it is worth the money. The performances are in Swedish but you'll get the story anyway. Pack some snacks and clothes for all weather conditions and spend the whole day here. 😍🏰🏠🌈

Astrid Lindgren's World is incredibly fun for both kids and adults. There’s live entertainment all day, and although the performances are in Swedish, they’re still easy to understand even if you don’t speak the language. A great touch is that after the shows, you can take photos with the actors, which kids absolutely love. You can also walk into the houses and sets used during the performances, making the whole park feel immersive and full of life. Highly recommended!

Astrid Lindgren’s World is truly a magical place for children and adults alike. The park brings Astrid Lindgren’s beloved stories to life in a way that feels authentic, creative, and full of heart. Every little corner is beautifully designed, immersive, and thoughtfully crafted — it genuinely feels like stepping straight into the world of Pippi Longstocking, Emil, Ronja, and all the other characters. The live performances are a real highlight. The actors are fantastic with children, full of energy and warmth, and they recreate the stories in a way that is both fun and engaging. Kids are invited to join in, explore the scenery, and interact with the characters, which makes the whole experience unforgettable. The park is clean, well-organized, and extremely family-friendly. There are plenty of play areas, places to rest, and restaurants with kid-friendly options. You can tell that everything is designed with families in mind — safe, comfortable, and easy to navigate. What I love most is how much joy the experience brings. Children can explore freely, use their imagination, and discover the stories in a hands-on way. It’s a place where creativity and childhood magic truly come alive. If you’re visiting Sweden with children, Astrid Lindgren’s World is an absolute must. It’s not just a theme park — it’s a beautiful celebration of stories, imagination, and childhood adventure.

The Air Force Museum in Linkoping, Sweden is a must-visit for aviation enthusiasts and families. Located just 7km from the town, it boasts the largest aircraft collection in the country. The museum recently expanded with new exhibits and modern facilities, offering free entry for visitors under 18. It's a great place to explore Swedish military aircraft and learn about the country's aviation history. Families can enjoy kid-friendly activities while exploring this well-preserved piece of history.
How wonderful it was for my friend Jenny to bring me to this Air Force museum to walk around and look at all the planes throughout history was marvellous. Well absolutely caught me off. Guard was a wreck that was brought up from the bottom of the ocean. I highly suggest putting this place on your bucket list when visiting Sweden you’ll not be disappointed and you can walk around Forever in a day I did get to see my SAAB DRAKEN , this plane was a childhood favourite of mine rightly dubbed the dragon never in my wildest dreams. Did I believe I’ve ever seen one of these with my own eyes but yet here I was once again blown away by Sweden.

A stop off the beaten path in Swedish winter, took a visit here to learn a bit about their military history while on a visit to Sweden. The Museum is a good size, with tons of planes from different eras. They also had exhibits on life during the Cold War. The gift shop had a good number of souvenirs worth exploring and the cafeteria served locally sourced food, which was delicious. If you are in Stockholm or around this area and are looking for something to do, then I’d definitely recommend this.

Spent a really nice afternoon with my husband and our 16 year old son. Lots to see, very clean, well signed in both Swedish and English. We could hastened a bit longer, but although it was air-conditioned, it was still a bit warm. It would have been nice with a few water fountains. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our visit, lots to do for all ages!

My biggest gripe is that the English versions for the texts are technically available, but much more cumbersome to read on your phone after scanning QR codes. Also, the exhibition is a bit smaller and especially more disorganized than I would have thought. Otherwise, the museum is good, but I expected something a little different. I would have expected more technical details about the evolution of planes. On the flipside, there was much more about connecting human stories than I thought, which is also great, just of less interest to me personally.

I stopped just for a quick lunch in Örebro and the castle and the surroundings of the city was a great surprise. Stunning place. It was worth exploring and walking around. Louis of cool dining places, cafes, bars, restaurants around. Castle function more like arts exhibition.

The castle is beautiful and I like the surrounding small islands. Exhibition wise its not the best but not bad either, I think its nice that there is information about the castle’s history with some fun facts. We saw the witch exhibition as well which was very well done even tho it was not always based on facts. It had a nice atmosphere!

Örebro castle is very good in outside view. It was really nice from outside. But once you entered to the inside, literally there is nothing to see. They had only few mini models of city, castle which has covered with glasses. Other than that a drawing area for kids and stories of witches who has been in history and was doing black magic. All stories were interested to read but they are stories which no one has proof of anything. I don't think this place deserves more stars as it only good from outside only⭐. But still good place for someone who interests with these witches related stories.

We enjoyed our visit to Orebro Castle. It was much better than we expected. Of course there is plenty of history on the castle and Orebro. But they also had a very well done witches exhibit. The dungeon was very cool. But be prepared for stairs. Swedish and English are both used throughout the castle.

Dear San Franciscan, Welcome to Sweden. This is one of the drop off and pick up site for us when we are in Örebro. This is a small castle. We arrived around 5pm and must leave by 7pm. So, we only utilized this town to get dinner nearby. We went inside the castle, but it was closed and there was not lots to observe. I noticed there’s an increase of smokers in this town.

Beautiful exterior and framing. But inside lacked anything of interest. To be fair, what else is there in this town?

Ales stenar

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Monument
Sights & Landmarks
Ales Stenar is a 1400-year-old monument located in Kaseberge, close to Ystad. It consists of 59 large stones arranged in the shape of a ship on a grassy knoll by the sea. The purpose of this stone-age monument remains a mystery, with theories ranging from it being a burial site to an astronomical clock. Accessible via bus and then a short walk, the site offers guided tours and provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Dating back to the Vikings, Sweden’s megalithic Stonehenge overlooks the Baltic Sea in the south of Sweden. The surrounding area and town of Kåseberga makes this place a popular destination for tourists and locals. From the parking area you can walk towards the sea and overlook and then into town.

It's definitely a 5-star spot. I mean, nature and the surroundings are just amazing. Next to the sea with nice walking paths. There are several short and longer paths to walk by in the neighbourhood, and they are all peaceful and enjoyable. Try to get here during the sunny day, you will enjoy it more. Lots of history here.
Eldar — Google review
Time travelling into Viking age. Unique stone formation on the edge of the sea. A nice walk from the carpark up to the cliffs through the village. Before you get the full view of the ship shaped massive stones you can read some information about the rocks. You can wandering off freely and enjoy the ancient stones-formation and the incredible view from the windy hill top to the sea. Be aware of cows grazing on this land around visitors... After that incredible experience on the way back you can also desend to the harbour where are lots of restaurants available or wandering in the little picturesque village and pop in into a coffee shop if they open, unfortunately in October they we're closed already...

Absolutely amazing site. The stones themselves are quite impressive, but the landscapes around are arguably the best part. The view of the sea is impressive, with nice and colorful flowers. There are several short and longer paths to walk by in the neighborhood, and they are all peaceful and enjoyable. Nice bonus : just next to the stones, there is a group of horses and their foals that you can approach and feed (they are very friendly and curious about you). I went a Sunday and it was not particularly crowded. The closest village nearby is quite nice and cosy too if you want to take a break.

Enjoyed it! Lovely place although I did lack some information about it. Not too overrun by people and we had beautiful weather. Liked it but also not THAT special. Other than the parking lot it is free of charge so have a look at it :) especially if you like walking and/or have a dog. 🐕
Tiffany — Google review
Super nice view to the baltic sea and to the nearby neighborhood, very peaceful and you will walk by the sea and forests all the way to the stones which makes it a perfect hiking destination. Better to check public transportation timing beforehand for the way back because it works to a limited extent.
Zulfiyya R — Google review
Excellent stone ship. It’s amazing how large the stones are and the setting in which they’re placed. So much history. Definitely worth a stop. Pay parking and restrooms nearby.
Pam G — Google review
I strongly recommend visiting Ales Stenar and the little Käseberga Hamn nearby for lunch, drinks, or even just a short stroll by the sea. The nature and the sights are beautiful and unique. This place is an excellent choice if you want to get away from the noise and turmoil of the big cities.

Läckö Castle

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Läckö Castle is a remarkable instance of Swedish baroque architecture from the 17th century, positioned approximately 23km north of Lidkoping. Originally established in 1298, the Count Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie reconstructed and enhanced it in 1615. The castle is filled with antique furnishings and frescoes and conducts art exhibits as well as opera performances during summer months.
Beautiful castle dating back to 16CE. Lot of ancient culture, their food habits, royalty and guns are captured. A virtual tour to history & a beautiful garden outside, worth the visit!
Chetan S — Google review
Läckö Castle, a magnificent 13th-century fortress turned Baroque palace, stands proudly on the shores of Lake Vänern near Lidköping, Sweden. Originally built as a bishop’s stronghold, it later became the lavish residence of Count Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie in the 17th century. The castle’s striking white façade, red roofs, and towering spires create a fairy-tale silhouette against the water, making it one of Sweden’s most picturesque landmarks. The castle’s interior is equally impressive, featuring opulent halls adorned with intricate woodcarvings, grand staircases, and period furnishings. The Knight’s Hall, with its richly decorated ceiling and walls, is a highlight, showcasing the grandeur of the Swedish Empire era. The castle chapel, preserved in Baroque splendor, remains a serene space with its original altar and pews. Surrounding Läckö Castle are its beautiful gardens, meticulously restored to reflect 17th-century horticulture. The terraced slopes bloom with herbs, flowers, and fruit trees, offering a fragrant and colorful retreat. The castle also hosts summer opera performances, blending culture with history in a stunning lakeside setting. Today, Läckö operates as a museum, offering guided tours that delve into its storied past—from medieval bishops to aristocratic extravagance. Visitors can explore secret passages, ancient kitchens, and exhibitions detailing its evolution. The nearby Naturum Vänerskärgården provides insights into the surrounding natural landscape, enhancing the experience. A symbol of Sweden’s heritage, Läckö Castle captivates with its blend of medieval strength and Baroque elegance, making it a must-visit destination for history lovers and travelers alike.

Fantastic place, went in there for the 14:00 English tour with a friend and got a full tour of the 3rd floor just to ourselves. (Perhaps the website should include more visible info about the English tour, because I remember seeing it and then not finding it again.) It's a good deal cooler inside the castle than outside, which was fine for us since we'd just cycled there in the afternoon sun; if you're driving straight there, you might want a sweater. Nice guides, well-maintained spot, and they even let us camp close to the castle since there weren't many people around.

Beautiful location, easy to find, with nice area to walk. Option to do a boat trip and visit the Castle inside. Sadly we arrived in the off season and had parts being restored. The parking facilities are good and plenty and even offer charging stations using Easypark, which however was a bit confusing in the beginning. Would recommend going here if in the area!

A great place. Beautiful castle. We arrived during high season on a weekend, so no campsite available. But we enjoyed the tour of the castle, a dip in the lake and the excellent restaurant in the Naturama with its friendly staff

Borås Zoo is home to 65 species, featuring naturalistic enclosures for African savannah beasts and Nordic animals. The zoo offers a diverse range of wildlife from different regions. It's a great place to observe and learn about various species in well-designed habitats. Whether you're interested in the majestic creatures of the African savannah or the unique animals native to Nordic regions, Borås Zoo provides an opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures up close.
It's amazing to see some animals I haven't seen since I last was in Kenya, and some new ones. Get up-close to elephants, giraffes, bears. It's really nice. Be prepared to walk though. A nice, lovely Sunday afternoon walk viewing the wildlife.
Simon N — Google review
Borås Zoo is a charming and intimate destination, ideal for families with young children. Despite its smaller size compared to Kolmården Zoo, it offers a well-curated selection of animals and a family-friendly layout that allows for easy exploration without being overwhelming. While there are fewer scheduled activities like feeding times, the zoo compensates with its relaxed atmosphere and the engaging nearby dinosaur park, which features life-sized replicas that captivate young visitors. Convenient paid parking is available, enhancing accessibility. Overall, Borås Zoo, with its manageable size and additional attractions, makes for a delightful and worthwhile day trip.

The zoo is very well maintained, and the exhibits are close together, so it was easy to get around with the kids and see a lot without long walks. During summer, plan extra time for the children’s fountain area and bring swimwear.

Lund Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+39 other lists 
Lutheran church
Sights & Landmarks
Lund Cathedral, a renowned Lutheran church in Sweden, is a must-see landmark with its 55-meter-high towers known as Lunna pagar. Dating back to 1145, the cathedral boasts historical treasures like the untouched crypt from 1123 and an astronomical clock from 1380. Designed by architect Helgo Zetterval, the main block features a classical style and faces a charming square. Visitors can also admire the impressive Kungshuset tower nearby.
Lund Cathedral is a must-see if you’re visiting southern Sweden! The architecture is absolutely stunning with it's massive stone towers-seriously impressive! The cathedral really stands out in the center of the city. It's hard to miss. Inside, it's really pretty with its stained glass and a cool astronomical clock located towards the back. Some of the people I met that came out shortly after me said they weren't allowed to see the clock or take pics. I think they start to get strict there on visitors once mass begins. It’s free to enter and is worth a stop in. A memorable landmark in Sweden for sure.
How L — Google review
A beautiful old cathedral built around the 1100s. As with cathedrals back then, there is a crypt where kings and other important people were buried. Another really cool antique is the astrological clock that still works. Amazing place and it is definitely a must visit when in Lund.
C N — Google review
Lund Cathedral isn’t just a place of worship — it’s a cathedral wrapped in Swedish legend, myth, and medieval wonder. From the moment you step inside, you feel the weight of centuries and stories pressing in from the stone walls and shadowy corners. The most fascinating part lies beneath the main floor — the ancient crypt, built in the early 12th century. Here stands the eerie statue of Finn the Giant, said in local legend to have built the cathedral in a single night. When the bishop tricked him out of payment, Finn tried to destroy the cathedral but was turned to stone and now stands silently guarding the crypt. It’s a chilling and unforgettable sight that adds a mythical edge to your visit. Then there’s the astronomical clock, an enchanting medieval timepiece that still functions today. Every day at noon and 3 p.m., you can watch it come to life as the Three Wise Men process before a mechanical Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, while medieval music plays. It’s like stepping straight into a fairy tale. Even if you’re not religious, the deep sense of Nordic lore, mystery, and ancient craftsmanship make this one of the most memorable cathedrals in all of Scandinavia. A must-visit for lovers of legends and the mystical past.
Dmitry Z — Google review
Very historical church , must visit and it’s near to malmo. It’s built in year 1100 and architecture is very beautiful. There is no entry ticket for this church. Usually there is lot of weddings happen in this church and some times it can be closed for visitors. There is paid parking available nearby. Lot of restaurants also nearby.

A very serene place, It is beautiful cathedral built around the 1100s. It was worth the visit for the beautiful stained glass windows and the silence. the offerings of burring the candle was satisfying
Sunil K — Google review
It's a magnificent ancient church that has retained its genius loci. There is an astronomical clock inside which shows not just time but also date and zodiac sign and it chimes, with moving marionettes, at noon. And this is followed by a short prayer and Bible reading, which I very much appreciated. The bookstore across the church yard is also very much worth visiting.
Tomas C — Google review
I really liked it. For a 1000-year-old cathedral, it's very well-preserved. Don't miss the basement, there's a very interesting crypt there.

Gekås

Department store
Shopping
Well-known superstore selling diverse goods on an expansive property with a campground & hotel.
Easily my favorite outlet store in Sweden. Super big store with a lot of different products at lower prices. Not recommended for me to travel here often because it gets expensive due to cheap prices. 😅 It has a cafe, restaurants and everything one needs to spend the entire day in the store.
Joy G — Google review
Finally a store that has some - not much - mama clothes! Their kids clothes department had a good organization, there were signs where you can see the size of clothes you are looking for so you don't need to look through the whole department. On the other hand, if you download their own map over the store you can see they have marked up the store by letter+number combination. Very smart thinking but they fall half way. At the map you can also look for what you might be looking for... Maybe it's like for me mama clothes but no, it's not specified where by letter+number you can find it in the store 😐 So one have to disturb the staff everytime you can't find the stuff you are looking for. 🫤 So one could have been much more independent if one just have the information... Maybe an app over the departments if it changes a lot, could be next step? To visit early in the morning, midweek, was a really good idea. It got crowded first around lunchtime. If you are quick you can be done by lunch.

Chaos...chaos..chaos.. The prizes are maybe somewhat lower then usual, but thats only the case when you buy in bulk and really need it. We ve scored some Legos for some kids back home, because that's the only thing that was cheaper. Because it's so big and busy, we couldn't see everything, be sure you arrive in time and take a couple of days to visit.. For us, yeah it was fun, but not sure we'll go back again..

So many items to shop, Mind will be bombarded for first timers, Need to plan and lost down items and go to that section and buy, thats it. I felt Many items are less price compare to other place . There are 2 restaurant to eat. It worth to travel from far if you are planning to buy like more than 10k Sek..
Basavaraju N — Google review
If you need your day to day items shopping done this is a good place to be at. Especially if you need quality clothes for babies/kids without spending a fortune. But don't expect to be buying in bulk and make huge savings. The prizes are the same or just below as other budget stores in Sweden. But you will not have any problem finding what you need in the same store.
Erik J — Google review
What a store, unbelievable experience!! Never thought such a store exists in Sweden. Never have I been to such a large store with so much different things! They literally have everything, outdoor furniture, shampoo, breads and soo much more! As a tourist you have to visit this place.
Dennis M — Google review
There is plenty of parking in close proximity to the entrance. Once inside you will be greeted by the great assortment of clothes (some of which are by known brands such as Hugo Boss). There are also many other products and some restaurants. The only negative is that it’s often quite crowded, expect so wait in line at the counters for at least 10 minutes.

Very nice white sand beach! Great for long walks bathe with some algae in the sea! You will get a foul smell in the morning due to see weed and algae floating to shore. Very well maintained beach 🏖️ with plenty of free parking, toilets and restaurants nearby. Its best on the Sunny days as there isn’t so much wind due to bushes and sand piles on the end of shore. If you have a good company or looking for a solace then this beach is apt! Enjoy

Nice beach in Halmstad. The water is very quiet and clean. It is a four-kilometre-long beach. It has been named Sweden’s best beach time and time again. You can even enjoy a walk and find Tjuvahålan and Svärjarehålan. The two bays have a small beach, rocks and a jetty – perfect for a nice walk with friends and family.
