Grenen is a sandy spit located at Denmark's northern tip, where the North Sea and Kattegat Sea meet. This area is home to seals and dolphins. Exploring Jutland, the most northerly part of Denmark, offers beautiful white beaches and clear but cold seas. The road trip from Aalborg to Skagen, Lonstrup, and Grenen sandbar showcases Scandinavian design in clean and unfussy buildings like windmills.
Loved it! Awesome views, lovely beach. Be smart and either bring a pair of wellies or prepare for wet feet crossing the small gully a few hundred meters before the end.

Where the North Sea meets the Baltic Unless you use the sand train it's a4km walk both ways but worth it, particularly if the tide is out
Tony B — Google review
Baltic Sea on one side, North Sea on the other. How cool is that? Beware of the paid parking. It tales approx. 15-20 minutes to get to the tip of the shore, which is usually pretty crowded. There are also a couple of bunkers on the way. Highly recommended.
Etkin G — Google review
It was an amazing experience and quite memorable. I visited twice in two days both in the sunlight and rain. I really enjoyed by walking for one hour from the hotel to reach here and got the opportunity to explore the nature and landscape. Stunning view of grenen where the two seas meet each other.
Usman K — Google review
Absolutely stunning place!! North tip of Denamrk where two seas - Skaggerak (North sea) and kattegat sea meet. It’s a good 15 10 mins from the parking area to get to the tip. We got to see a seal basking in the sun.
Pooja K — Google review
Stunning view where North Sea and Baltic Sea (Kattegat) meets- the northern tip of Denmark . On a clear day you could distinguish between the two different see with different colour of water- once in a lifetime experience! If you are lucky, you can also spot seals are laying around the sands. In this shallow reef, many bunkers (made by Germany during WW2) are in sight. There’s also bunker museum nearby. The walk to the tip where the two seas meet from the parking lot, is about 40 minutes hard walk in moving sand and strong wind. There’s a bus available : sandormen for elderly people/people with knee/leg problems.
Sumandra M — Google review
Beautiful clean beach which is great for a walk and look at some sea creatures like jelly fish and star fish. Apart from that, not much to do here since you are prohibited from bathing due to currents and it's too windy and cold to just lie and enjoy the sun. NOTE: There is no public transport to get here from skagen train station, so you will either have to walk, rent a cycle or take a very expensive taxi.
Bhavishya G — Google review
Amazing views! 100% recommended as a life experience you'll never forget. There are hotels and restaurants in skagen, and a bus called sandormen, that can give you a lift over to the beach and back to the bus station, for about 35 kr. each person.

Lennusadam

Maritime museum
Museums
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! 😄
Bakir Y — Google review
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 ...
Axel T — Google review
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.
K N — Google review
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.
Arnab — Google review
Great mix of maritime vessels to see here, including the main attraction submarine which you can board. Some interactive displays/games too. Videos on the history of the site and building. We spent around 2 hours here but didn’t read every exhibit.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Mentioned on 
+124 other lists 
Russian Orthodox church
Sights & Landmarks
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an impressive orthodox landmark located on Toompea Hill in Tallinn, Estonia. Built at the end of the 19th century in a flamboyant Russian style, it was funded by public donations. Despite past controversy due to its association with Russian occupation, the cathedral has been restored and holds a special place in the hearts of the city's residents since Estonia regained independence in 1991.
This building is a stunning example of Russian architecture in Estonia. It stands out against the skyline. The insides are nicely decorated, though not as elaborately as the exterior. It is free to visit. There is a well stocked religious shop inside the building. There are some cobbles in the area, but on the whole, the cathederal is accessible to people who use a wheelchair. Ramps are used to aid with access.
Shelley C — Google review
Absolutely stunning building! You can see it from most places in old town, but it's lovely to go inside too. They don't let you take photos inside though just a heads up, but it's still worth visiting.
Tyler L — Google review
This cathedral is beautiful to look at from the outside. You can also get a very nice view from the Kiek in de Kök museum. The cathedral is of typical Russian style. Entrance is free.

The beautiful cathedral is certainly worth a visit. Its exterior is quite lovely, and entry is complimentary. While the interior may not be grand or expansive, it is still worth taking a moment to appreciate.

Cool architecture. A must visit. Free to go inside and watch. Easily walkable from the high parts of old town where the viewing platforms are. From here you can walk down to the square again through the wall, a very nice walk.
Hanne H — Google review
I've been to a LOT of cathedrals around Europe. This is the first time I've been made to feel unwelcome. -6° outside, I step through the threshold and within a minute a man has told me to take off my small black wollen hat (despite at least one women wearing a hat). Within a minute after that, a different man tells me to put my phone away, as I was about to take a photo. He points out the sign to one side, which I'd not noticed. The manner of both men was brusque. At that point I left. Architecturally, this is a beautiful place, but spiritually it is ugly. The awareness that this is a RUSSIAN orthodox church was made very prominent by these two men. I've not encountered many Russians...this has been an experience that will colour my view of them. My advice: by all means poke your nose inside, but don't drop any pennies in the plate!
K N — Google review
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is Eastern Orthodox cathedral, located in Tallinn in Estonia, which was built during 1894 to 1900, onto the Toompea Hill, when the country was part of the Russian empire. It is the largest Cupola Church. It was earlier dedicated to the grandprince of Kiev and later to the Russian Orthodox Saint, Alexander Nevsky. The base of the building is that of Finnish Granite, it has 5 onion domes (though I just managed to click only 4 of them), while guilded iron crosses can be seen and there exists stained glass windows still. After Estonia became independent, demolition thoughts had crossed the minds of the government during the 1920s but, no decisions had come to surface then. However, since 2022, the same subject was again revoked as a response to Russias aggression against Ukraine. I don't know whether it was worth seeing this building after all, and perhaps yes, if it is finally rubbled, in future. It makes me wonder, as to 'How we are led by emotions of our times', sometimes our judgements are erred and at other, we survive them, just to go down in the anals of History and exist, for others to see and rejudge the past once again. I guess, that's why we are called Humans and JUST THAT and nothing more.
Neeru D — Google review
The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is striking, especially its iconic onion domes. Built during Russian rule, the cathedral’s architecture reflects its historical role as a symbol of power, and gives you a real sense of that story. Fascinating and visually stunning! It's a must-see if you visit Tallinn.

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.

Most old cathedral in Turku, maybe in the whole Finland. The inner structure is truly beautiful. You kinda feel calm and at peace upon entering. There are programs on special days. Also, many gathering and programs happens in the surrounding areas. A must-visit place if you come to Turku.
Sparrow — Google review
A must see! Super fascinating church. Just looking at the outside and seeing how piecemeal it is, your mind races with curiosity at how it ended up being built like that and how it has been able to withstand hundreds of years! The free museum inside was far more than I expected. The relics they have in their collection go back to the middle ages.

We visited this beautiful old church, which has been part of the community for many years and serves as a peaceful place of worship for locals and visitors alike. Although it was closed when we arrived, the kind caretaker allowed us to enter. The church’s quiet atmosphere, simple yet graceful architecture, and sense of history made it truly special. We took a moment to pray — it was the first church where my boyfriend and I prayed together.

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.
Veronica E — Google review
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
Tejiri C — Google review
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.
Samuli S — Google review
An old castle with a museum inside. I visited on early hours before the museum actually opened, so didn't got a chance inside. Around the museum is nice green relaxing park with lot of benches and place for cycle parking. Peaceful place must visit
Churchill J — Google review
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.

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.

Skansen Museum is an absolute must-visit in Stockholm! I loved exploring the open-air exhibits and getting a glimpse of how people lived in Sweden centuries ago. The traditional houses, workshops, and beautiful surroundings make the visit feel like stepping back in time. The animals were a lovely bonus, especially in such a well-kept environment. It’s a peaceful and charming place to spend a few hours, with great views and lots to learn. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed Skansen museum. Was great to see local wild animals and different house buildings from Sweden. It would be great if more buildings were open to enter and explore but even without that it was a nice place to walk around. There were few cafes inside and some souvenir shops.

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. The tour guide (shoutout to Martin) was absolutely dedicated to being as helpful as possible and explained everything in perfect English. 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.

ABBA The Museum in Stockholm is a must-visit for fans of the iconic Swedish pop group. It offers an immersive experience with a collection of memorabilia, interactive exhibits, and behind-the-scenes insights into ABBA's rise to fame. Visitors can explore a studio, dance floor, and enjoy engaging displays. The museum appeals to music enthusiasts, pop culture fans, and those nostalgic for the band's music. Families and children can also enjoy the interactive activities on offer.
Love this museum and learned a lot. I didn't really know much about them like how they were married to each other and stuff. It was fun and seeing the costumes was great. I have lots of photos and fun memories. It was def busy since I think it was the weekend so lots of tourist.

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!
Kalina M — Google review
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!
Hardeep D — Google review
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.
Lynn H — Google review
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!
Simon V — Google review
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!!
Ken L — Google review
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

Mentioned on 
+172 other lists 
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.
Jarred F — Google review
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
Lynn H — Google review
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.

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.

Uppsala Cathedral, also known as the Domkyrka, is a Gothic-style Lutheran place of worship in Uppsala, Sweden. It was consecrated in 1435 and is one of the most significant religious buildings in the country. The cathedral's construction began in the late 13th century and lasted for about 150 years. It suffered fire damage during the Great Fire of 1702 and underwent remodeling with Renaissance-style architecture.
The cathedral has a great architecture from very past. It feels mesmerizing arriving there and visit. We could not manage to visit inside as we arrived late. But it was a great experience still taking a walk around. There is parking area nearby (not very big though).

Oldest and the most important cathedral in Sweden with a lot of history and it is absolutely huge with 119 meters twin spires dominating the skyline. Graves of great Swedish scientists Linnaeus and Celsius as well as Swedish kings and Queens decorate the floor, vestibules and chapels. The altar, stained glass windows and pulpit are all interesting. At the entrance to the cathedral there is an excellent presentation of the whole history of this cathedral in a chronological fashion as well as a detailed map of various graves, shrines etc. There are lots of Rune stones in the church yard as well. We were in the cathedral while the Sunday mass was going on. We attended the service although it was in Swedish. Magdalene college Oxford choir was visiting and their singing and organ music was ethereal. This place is a must on any visit to Uppsala.

An excellent experience for both parents and children. Even if your children are small, they will enjoy this dynamic environment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Definitely a really really good place just in the nowhere in a spectacular nature, and especially the ”safaribanan” was an amazing experience. Even during the halloween, it was not bad for the small toddlers since it was well organised for the ones who want thrill specifically. Consider purchasing yearly card!

There is no other zoo that offers amazing, very well looked after animals, the worlds tallest wooden rollercoaster and during October, some fantastic Halloween scare mazes! It's an awesome place, very reasonably priced entry ticket (scare mazes Inc in price), stunning scenery, friendly staff & a great atmosphere. I'd recommend a visit if you're considering it

A very beautiful garden and the majority of animals have good space, but not all. I recommend bringing food from home as the places do not have good food. There are plenty of toilets that are very clean.

Falu Mine

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Falun Mine, located in Falun, Sweden, is a historic copper mining site that offers underground tours and walks around its vast mining works. The mine was once the world's most important copper mine by the 17th century and played a significant role in funding wars and contributing to Sweden's international aspirations. Visitors can explore the above-ground area, which includes the Mine Museum, heritage outbuildings, cafes, and boutiques.
Very interesting place, you‘ll learn a lot about one Sweden‘s most important mines. There a several entrance tickets, but I would recommend the „underground package“ which includes a guided underground tour. The museum is also interesting, but not as impressive as the mine. Nevertheless it’s very child friendly and the can a try and lean a lot about copper.

I loved the experience. Our guide knew the history of it so well. The story of Fet Mats, Kåre the Goat linger on. The orange gear we wore makes me remember this adventure. I will come again because the museum and miners homes were closed that day.

A can’t miss UNESCO site in Sweden. The guided tour in the mine was well worth it! Friendly for children over 4 .. beware lots of stairs but it was an amazing visit. The museum was also a great informative visit. Lots of great historical information and a inique experience for all.

Very interesting copper mine to visit. We were recommended to come here by our Swedish friends. It is definitely spectacular. Unfortunately we could do the underground tour as we could not get to the 2pm English tour in time. Definitely make sure you find out the tour times in advance and book your space.

Really a magnificent experience and more that that was learning about this historic place, A thousand years of history beneath Sweden’s surface Located in the heart of Sweden, the Falun copper mines were once one of the most important industrial sites in Europe. The mine was active for over a thousand years, from around the 10th century until it finally closed in 1992. ⛏️ A Mine that Shaped a Nation

We first visited in April 2022 but that was a brief visit(only the mine tour), we merely took a glance at the museum. We were quite impressed even during that short visit, and decided to revisit. Today, we spent an entire day there: - Reached early(0950), and viewed the sites like Creutz shaft, hoist, etc. - Visited the museum, viewed partially but thoroughly. - Lunch at the cafe. We avoided the restaurant this time as the menu didn't suit us but based on our 2022 visit, I would say the restaurant is decent and reliable. - Guided tour in English at 1330. We actually had booked a Swedish tour as the English one at 1200 was full. During our interaction with reception, they informed us that there would be an additional English tour at 1330 due several visitors. - Revisited and covered the remaining part of the museum. - Left around 1600. The museum is the best part, followed by the 1h guided tour. They have taken utmost efforts to provide information on English. The guides and the staff provided some interesting information apart from the tour as well. The kids also enjoyed a lot. Overall, it is a must-visit sight if you are in Sweden even for a brief period.

We loved the trip to the mine! The tour underground is awesome and very interesting even for small children. Our 4 year old loved it, our 7 year old was a bit scared. We had a great time. Lunch was also very nice in the local restaurant. Not crowded at all. The museum is also beautifully decorated with interactive corners.

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.

One of the greatest museums in Sweden. A must for anyone with the even the slightest interest in aviation and military history. Can easily spend an entire day there. Also great fun for kids with lots of activities. And make sure to go on the guided tours and special events when available.

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!
Naomi O — Google review
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.

Spent way more time here than we planned for and decided that we have to come back again to explore more.. Very well set up. Super interesting exhibitions and even a VR about a secret mission that everyone enjoyed. Recommend to book a flight simulator in advance. I missed that part, so it's something to look forward to. Recommend!!

One of the best aviation museums I’ve seen. The collection is amazing. There are almost no Soviet planes (only one MiG-15, I think). The whole history of aviation is right there before your eyes — from Farman to Gripen — and that’s really awesome.

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.

Art gallery
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Sandgrund Lars Lerin is a riverfront gallery in Karlstad, Sweden, dedicated to the captivating works of contemporary watercolor artist Lars Lerin. Lerin is celebrated for his legendary watercolor and oil paintings, graphic arts, and mesmerizing photographs. The gallery showcases his phenomenal watercolor landscapes as well as other works such as oil paintings, drawings, collages, and photographs from his travels around the world.
I'm not a huge fan of art but visited the gallery whilst on holiday in the area whilst staying with my sister. And what a delight! I was staggered by the artist's hand, such talent and even more special knowing he's a local chap too. I've read some of the other reviews and yes, glass covers so make viewing some pictures slightly awkward because of the glare, and the spot lights do shine a bit annoyingly on others, but neither of these 2 factors spoilt the artist's effect or removed any of the enjoyment of admiring the exhibits. I was, by the end, totally in awe of Mr Lars Lerin. I understand from my sister, that the exhibits change during the course of the year to help keep the gallery interesting for those who like to visit regularly. There was an exhibition space for admire artist, oil paintings, which actually I didn't enjoy so much, because of Lars work being so amazing! I actually thought the gallery space and manner of hanging pictures on the wall with nails added to the experience. Little coffee shop incorporated is a great addition.

Kjell L — Google review
Although the work of Lars Lerin is very prolific and interesting, the Sandgrund gallery/museum is a total disaster in term of exhibiting art pieces. No signage, no information, no curating what so ever. The lighting is extremely bad as it looks like a basic office space, the art pieces aren’t protected, most of the time nailed directly on the wall ( damaging the paper irremediably) or placed in between bad quality glass (which is sometime broken) A ladder or some trash cans seem to be forgotten here and there, and not to talk about the horrible plywood walls where the art pieces are hanged: poorly repainted, some holes, old plaster, tape... I find it crazy to pay an entrance fee for such a poor way of showing art.

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.

I thought Flytoget was the perfect way to travel from Olso Airport and in to the centre. Simple, quick and into Oslo central in under 20 minutes. Hassle free travel every 10 minutes. Clean carriages and plenty of seats. Booked online, it was so easy. I paid 960NOK at the time of my booking (2no Adults return = 70GBP). Just checked its now 1008NOK (just a slight increase). It's well worth a look if you don't want to drive / UBER etc. I'll travel this way again if I return, no brainer. PCB 👌🏻

I was issued a fine of 1200 NOK even though I did everything according to their instructions, but their system was lagging to charge my card. Scanned my card at the entry, tried to scan it at the exit, didn't work, got issued a fine for supposedly not having a ticket, the inspector didn't want to look or listen that my card was reserved but not charged yet, even when there were witnesses that confirmed everything, he just issued a fine. Very pleasant experience.

This was amazing travel from Oslo Airport to Oslo Central Station - I am railway enthusiast from Poland and found this travel emotional and extremely interesting, especially because of high speed - 210 km per hour. Journey to Oslo Central Station lasts exactly 22 minutes! I am also very grateful for the highest quality of services of train crew, so as supporting staff of Flytoget at both stations. They are ready to answer all questions, also from railway enthusiasts:), like me. Flytoget high speed trains go every 10 minutes, and it makes this way of travelling not only the most time-saving, but extremely interesting. I am very sensitive on safety procedures, and I found these applied at Flytojet as the most restrictive, which makes passengers' journey safe, quiet and comfortable. At each pair of seats in the train everybody could read safety instructions, written both in Norwegian and English, in very simple way (with drawing of train scheme). It is only one sheet of thick paper, but information are written on both pages, in very quick way. Electric sockets are double in every two seats, so there is no issue to use it for our electrical appliances. It was great pleasure to use Flytoget high speed trains during my visit to Oslo. I recommend this highest quality services not only to travel enthusiasts, but all passengers who are interested in the best and time-saving way of travelling. Thank you Flytoget team for your excellent job! See you next time!

There was no warning at the kiosk when I bought my TRAIN ticket that the trains weren't running. Instead, they shuffled us into an overcrowded bus that took forever to load and slowly made its way downtown. For this clearly substandard service they reduced the price by nothing. Next time, I'll find a better way to town. This was pathetic.

HORRIBLE!!! I bought the tickets to go and come. On my way back, they simply canceled the trains, there was nothing written in the station. I had to get a cab otherwise I would miss my flight. Now they blame me because there was a buss going from another station (not the one I was departing from and had the tickets already), and I did not get it! Avoid it if you can! :(

As others reported, it happened to me that the trip that was supposed to be made by train was performed by bus, considerable slower and less comfortable. Although the bus was nice and perfectly suitable, there was no previous warning or discount. Other bus services offer the same for smaller price. I was going to rate Flytoget as a 3 stars but after reading that what happened to me it's common, I can only rate it as a 2 stars.

Top experience – Rusalka, 2025. The music and orchestra were so beautiful > it was beyond anything words can describe. The acoustics of the main hall were designed with expert consultation, using oak paneling and wave-like surfaces to create world-class sound. The architecture > I love how it lets visitors walk on top of the building, blurring the boundary between structure and nature.

Gorgeous architecture with impressive views. The building seems symbolic of the surrounding fjords and the beauty of Norway.

Went here to watch Eugen Onegin (Russian Opera), not sure I'm a huge fan of Opera though. But I can't rate the location low because of that! It's very nice inside, spacious and feels modern yet classic! Will come back to see maybe a Ballett instead. On the downside, the seats are very straight, and offer very little legspace, for me 195cm it was hard to find a good position to sit in for the almost 3 hours the play lasted. Therefore i give this a 4 only

Akershus Fortress, originally built in the 13th century, was strategically positioned to protect Oslo from external threats. Over the years, it has evolved into a complex that includes a medieval castle, military fortress, Renaissance palace, and active military installations. The fortress also houses two military museums and hosts various events. While the castle is currently closed for renovations, visitors can still explore the sprawling complex and enjoy its historical significance.

Penny G — Google review
Akershus Fortress is a medieval castle in Oslo, Norway, built during 1299 to protect the city. It has been a strategic fortress, a Renaissance palace, a jail and now it houses military barracks and the Norwegian Armed Forces. Historically speaking, Akershus successfully survived all sieges, primarily by Swedish forces. The immediate proximity of the sea was a key feature, wherein, the Norwegian commerce in that period, was by sea. Thus the fortress had become strategically important. So, whoever controlled Akershus fortress, actually ruled Norway. Later, however, Akershus surrendered without combat to Nazi Germany in 1940 when the Norwegian government evacuated the capital in the face of the unprovoked German assault on Denmark and Norway. The fortress was finally liberated in 1945, and was handed over to Terje Rollem. Presently, one has an option of touring the historical dungeons, Royal Mausoleum and enjoy scenic views of the city from its grounds, which are also used for events and ceremonies. We were thankfully guided by a very capable guide, upon our visit to the Fortress during July 2025. The entry is free for thr grounds but however, one has to pay for the priviledge of looking at the rest of the protected areas.
Neeru D — Google review
Visiting Akershus Fortress was one of the unexpected highlights of our time in Oslo. Perched right on the waterfront, this medieval castle-turned-fortress offers incredible panoramic views of the Oslo Fjord and harbor, and it’s only a short, easy walk from Karl Johans Gate. The grounds are open and free to explore, which makes it feel more like you’re wandering through living history than entering a formal museum. The atmosphere is calm and spacious, with winding stone paths, old ramparts, and a mix of well-preserved structures and open green areas. There’s plenty of signage in English, so even without a tour you can get a strong sense of the site’s layered history—from its origins as a royal residence in the 13th century to its role as a military stronghold and later, a World War II site. The contrast between the castle walls and the modern city skyline is striking, and it’s easy to spend an hour or two just exploring, taking photos, or finding a quiet spot to take in the view. If the weather is nice, I highly recommend visiting around late afternoon for great light over the fjord. It’s a peaceful and culturally rich stop that gives you a real sense of Oslo’s history without feeling overly touristy.

Good: ✅ The remnants of this fortress are very well preserved. ✅ The exterior corridors of this property make up an explorer’s paradise and it is completely free (no cost). ✅ The property is part ruins and part green space/park. ✅ There are many areas to enjoy the sun or shade. Walk, run, or chill—visits are easily tailored. ✅ Beautiful vistas throughout overlooking the bay. Caution: ❌ The property is both cliffside and hillside. It’s not a bad thing, just know that exploration requires the use of steps or steep trails. In summary, this is the crown jewel of downtown Oslo. There are plenty of pics to see what it is. If you’re into such, this place will deliver.

My visit to Akershus Fortress was amazing! The mix of history and beautiful buildings really caught my attention. The interesting exhibits helped me learn more about Norway's history. Please also visit the nearby Armed Forces Museum. There are old stone walls and remnants of history regarding this place and it is easily accessible.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Grenen is a sandy spit located at Denmark's northern tip, where the North Sea and Kattegat Sea meet. This area is home to seals and dolphins. Exploring Jutland, the most northerly part of Denmark, offers beautiful white beaches and clear but cold seas. The road trip from Aalborg to Skagen, Lonstrup, and Grenen sandbar showcases Scandinavian design in clean and unfussy buildings like windmills.
Loved it! Awesome views, lovely beach. Be smart and either bring a pair of wellies or prepare for wet feet crossing the small gully a few hundred meters before the end.

Where the North Sea meets the Baltic Unless you use the sand train it's a4km walk both ways but worth it, particularly if the tide is out
Tony B — Google review
Baltic Sea on one side, North Sea on the other. How cool is that? Beware of the paid parking. It tales approx. 15-20 minutes to get to the tip of the shore, which is usually pretty crowded. There are also a couple of bunkers on the way. Highly recommended.
Etkin G — Google review
It was an amazing experience and quite memorable. I visited twice in two days both in the sunlight and rain. I really enjoyed by walking for one hour from the hotel to reach here and got the opportunity to explore the nature and landscape. Stunning view of grenen where the two seas meet each other.
Usman K — Google review
Absolutely stunning place!! North tip of Denamrk where two seas - Skaggerak (North sea) and kattegat sea meet. It’s a good 15 10 mins from the parking area to get to the tip. We got to see a seal basking in the sun.
Pooja K — Google review
Stunning view where North Sea and Baltic Sea (Kattegat) meets- the northern tip of Denmark . On a clear day you could distinguish between the two different see with different colour of water- once in a lifetime experience! If you are lucky, you can also spot seals are laying around the sands. In this shallow reef, many bunkers (made by Germany during WW2) are in sight. There’s also bunker museum nearby. The walk to the tip where the two seas meet from the parking lot, is about 40 minutes hard walk in moving sand and strong wind. There’s a bus available : sandormen for elderly people/people with knee/leg problems.
Sumandra M — Google review
Beautiful clean beach which is great for a walk and look at some sea creatures like jelly fish and star fish. Apart from that, not much to do here since you are prohibited from bathing due to currents and it's too windy and cold to just lie and enjoy the sun. NOTE: There is no public transport to get here from skagen train station, so you will either have to walk, rent a cycle or take a very expensive taxi.
Bhavishya G — Google review
Amazing views! 100% recommended as a life experience you'll never forget. There are hotels and restaurants in skagen, and a bus called sandormen, that can give you a lift over to the beach and back to the bus station, for about 35 kr. each person.

The North Sea Oceanarium

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Aquarium
Nature & Parks
The North Sea Oceanarium, located in North Jutland, is one of Europe's largest aquariums showcasing a diverse range of marine life from the North Sea. Visitors can observe seals in an outdoor basin and even interact with sea creatures at the touch pool. The town of Hirtshals, where the aquarium is situated, also offers scenic views from the picturesque lighthouse, sandy beaches, and local restaurants serving fresh seafood and traditional Danish dishes.
It was cold and grey outside and very windy when we decided to go to The North Sea Oceanarium. It was a good decision. There’s lots to see and do and it’s particularly good for families, but everyone will enjoy it. The tanks are enormous and many of the fish are too. Photo shows some sharks. The smallest creature we met was living in a tiny pipe and only coming out to eat hand fed mussels- he’s not keen on shrimps. The café looked good if you wanted lunch and there’s a really nice area for picnics if you bring your own food you can sit inside or out. We had an ice cream near the seal’s pool area outside. It was very easy to spend half a day there and I could have been there longer. Your ticket is valid for a year- if only we could come back.
Zoe N — Google review
Amazing aquarium, world class! The building was huge, and a full day was needed to experience most of the tanks and activities. The focus is on the North Sea, with several rare and unusual environments and exhibitions. The animals seamed to be healthy and well taken care of. The animals and plants together with knowledgeable staff, interactive activities (a machine to test if you are as strong as a lobster! …or a small beach crab), crab fishing for small kids, a huge calming open-sea tank the whole experience was wonderful. Make sure to not miss the feeding session performed with a real scuba diver!
Olof J — Google review
The Oceanarium was a delightful and informative place to visit, with many different fish and creatures to see and many interactive things for children to do as well. The feeding time at the main tank was interesting and I thought it was nice that there was a guide there to tell the audience about the tank and the different fish. The café was small but they offered many tasty options. The outside areas were also clean and free of seagulls!
Tiia R — Google review
A nice aquarium that shows the local Ocean life. The interactive activities that they have are fun and grateful for kids. We were lucky. It was not busy so they could easily participate in everything.. the downside of this was that we were out of the park relatively quickly
Nick E — Google review
We had a great time at this aquarium. It was absolutely huge and there was so much to see. We went there with our baby (11 months) and it was not busy at all so we could let her crawl in the quiet areas so she could explore it herself. The feeding show in the big aquarium is a must see, the biologist that dove in to feed the fish was so cool to see.
Lotte R — Google review
The biggest oceanarium on northern Europe - the sign stands for something and it is really big and there is lots of things and activities to see, try, educate and enjoy, especially for kids. The seals were fun, feeding of the fishes in the biggest tank as well and it is really one big enjoyment and learning opportunity in one nice package. Worth a visit if you have time to spend waiting for your ferry to Norway or Island.
Milan P — Google review
Lovely aquarium to visit, we visited with our 5 year old and there is a nice mix of kids activities and ocean sealife to exhibit. The food at this place has no right to be this good. We were expecting cafeteria food but the fish and chips was surprisingly some of the best I've had in years. Well fried, not oily and springled well with a bit of sea salt. YUM! All the other dishes I've seen looked very appetizing as well. The only downside I can think of is that while the toilets are clean, and during our stay we saw them cleaned twice. They stink quite badly. I suspect because for the standing men toilets they use no water which stinks up the place maybe?
Robin J — Google review
A nice experience. The oceanarium also takes its responsibility to educate the visitors on the negative impact of fishing and the humans in general. Very interactive, interesting — also for kids of all ages. Highlight is the seal feeding. 🦭

We got lucky to be in corner family suite so the balcony and room are a bit bigger than other family suites. It was meant for 6 people - 2 double bunk beds and 2 single bunk beds. We are 3 people. The room was perfect for us but the mattress and pillows were not good. Both felt like too soft due to too little fillings. I stacked three pillows and still too thin. I had to row up a blanket under the pillow. The sofa is more comfortable than the mattress. I had to sleep on the sofa to get a good night sleep. We did not try the breakfast after reading the reviews. We ate at nearby mcdonald in sorlandet senter. There are quite a lot of nice eating places in that shopping mall. Motti Thai is highly recommended. The buffet thai Thai is also not bad.
Jenny T — Google review
A unique experience, especially for children who love animals and Captain Sabeltann. The food at the hotel is very good and fresh, and the rooms have everything you need to enjoy the park, although on hot summer days there is no air conditioning and it is not advisable to stay in the room until the night air arrives. I went with my wife, my children and two dogs and it is a great help to be able to bring animals. The Captain Sabelton night show was wonderful and the kids were thrilled. The water park is a marvel for the kids as well and a very nice touch was that there were patrols offering sunscreen so you don't get sunburned.

We come to the hotel for our son's birthday and he was very happy. The room was nice, spacious, clean and the reception provide us all the informations we needed. Breakfast and dinner had a very various selection and it was impossible for the kids not put something on the plate to eat. We had a nice stay and we thank you for that.🤗

Situated 10-15 minutes drive from Kristiansand at the local zoo. The service is good. The food is even better. The hotel is crowded in the holiday season, but I strongly recommend a stay.

I normally stop here when I work at Dyreparken. Beautiful place, well themed, zoo right outside the front door. What's not to like? Restaurant is large and comfortable. The evening buffet has everything, as does the breakfast. Staff are outstanding. A lot of the staff have been there for years and know everything you need to know. The rooms are a reasonable size and the en suites well fitted. There are coffee /tea facilities in the room. The TV has several Norwegian channels but a lot of films and tv series are English anyway and it isn't dubbed. The photo shows the view from my room (303). The zoo is just across the car park.

Last stop on my Road Trip across Norway, ferry this afternoon so I stopped here. What a lovely place to stop at. Comfortable rooms, lovely buffet restaurant. I think it would be different when kids are on holidays, the amusement park next door looks like it could be a lot of fun!!

Reception is open 24/7. Warm welcome. Room was clean and of the right size. Breakfast was simply perfect: everything you want was there. After one day work, I decided to stay in the hotel for dinner. Food was OK but the "Panna Cotta" at the end was like in Italy! Surprising!!!

Lysefjord is a breathtaking 25-mile-long glacial fjord that captivates visitors with its stunning landscapes, featuring towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, and lush farmland. This natural wonder is home to a thriving seal population and boasts one of the world's most iconic viewpoints, which rises majestically to 604 meters. The unique tooth-like shape of the fjord was sculpted by ancient ice movements thousands of years ago.
Amazing fjord. We did a guided kayaking tour of 3 hours to explore the fjord up close. Couldn’t be happier… saw seals twice… one was swimming another basking on the rock. Hiked the pulpit rock, which was 20minute drive from our kayaking spot.

The Lyse fjord is yet another wonder of nature is this blessed part of Norway. It is definitely a must go if you are visiting Stavanger or surroundings. The boat tour provides some stunning visuals of the formations, including a close stop by a waterfall near by.

AMAZIIIIIING!! After my 4th hiking trip to Norway, I have never seen a more stunning spot in Norway as such. Lysebotn village is very beautifully located in a very picturisque place. You can hike to Peikestolen (Pulpit rock), Flørli 4444 wooden stairs, Kjeragbolten and Kalelli. You will be rewarded with amazing untouched beauty everywhere.
Daphne — Google review
By boat from Stavanger to the Lysefjord and back again. A very nice trip overlooking the beautiful wild nature of the fjord. Takes 3.5 hours and never bores for a moment. You can stay inside on the boat and enjoy fresh coffee with a cinnamon roll or go outside on the upper deck to see everything even better and get a nice breath of fresh air.
Andrea S — Google review
Nice but over rated. Pulpit rock viewed from the bottom will be a real disappointment. Better to take the hike if you can. The cruise on a fast boat takes 3 hours. Better to go in the morning as the sun hits the rock straight on. We were lucky with a cloudless day in June but be prepared for wet raining cold day.
HC S — Google review
We went through Lysefjord on a boat cruise from Stavanger. It was very beautiful, and hard to appreciate or envision the height until seeing other boats on the water. It was worth the trip as there were several beautiful sites along the way in addition to the general scenic fjord views.
Becky T — Google review
I visited this place back in Jun 2017. It was my first ever fjord visit! I took the Rodne Fjord Cruise's Pulpit rock cruise and hike package. The weather was not on my side that day with rain and clouds. But the skies cleared as we went into the fjord and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Its absolutely beautiful.

Pulpit Rock

Cliff
Outdoor Activities
Pulpit Rock, also known as Preikestolen, is a renowned 604-meter cliff with a flat top that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding area. Visitors can take a ferry from Lysebotn to Forsand and then embark on a hike to reach this iconic natural wonder. The hike is not too challenging, making it accessible to most people.
Amazing! It is 8.4km (going and coming back) with 500m elevation. This should be one of the unique view in the world, totally worth. Path is not dangerous or risky. It takes 3 hours more or less - not including the time spent on final destination. Top tip: To avoid the crowd, you can start hiking late afternoon (consider the return time according to the sunset - you wouldn’t want to hike in darkness) We were there on the rock at 5.30 end of the august and there was no single person.
Hakan E — Google review
Great views, hike is, on my opinion, harder than moderate. There were sections that were very steep. And to make matters worse, the wet conditions did not help with grip. Overall, I definitely would hike this place again.
Victor V — Google review
Managed to find the only sunny in between 5-6 rain days. The view, the view!!! Started at 7:30. 1h hike to the top with a nice and steady pace. Beautiful nature along the way. Very nice stony path to protect nature. Some high steps along the way. Early start meant not many people on the way up. Some people coming down after having spent the night at the top. Going down got very busy. Very busy. Funny how so many line up to take pic at “that one spot” which seemed like 3-4-5 other spots there. People telling off people for being in their photo. A bit OTT. Great day out and will do it again!

Among the best hiking spot so far for me in Norway. The hiking trails were very well maintained and suitable for all level of hikers. With a bit of fitness preparation, it should be doable activity. Don’t forget to bring water and snacks or fruits. You should be fine there ✌🏻⛰️🍁
Zaid M — Google review
I recommend going there in the late afternoon. The hike is not that difficult as stated in other comments. I would mark it as a medium one. Just be careful at the rocks when going up/down. Definitely worth it. It took us around 4h return including stops, photos. You need to make sure you have enough water with you and some snacks.
Cristiana — Google review
Beautiful place to visit. The hike is not easy but definitely doable. We saw many folks who were seemingly in their 70s-80s who did that. Although my teenage son complained a lot on that hike, and was very exhausted by the end.
V A — Google review
We are a group of four members from India, who did this trek. We started by 9.00 from the base camp. Climbed up in 2 hrs & 30 mins. It's a moderate level tough trek. We suggest you start as early as possible. So that it will be easy while returning . Carry water with you. Nothing available in the top. There's a icecream shop & a cafe at the base camp. They will accept only cards. Have a safe and joyful trek
Star H — Google review
Awesome hike to the rock but can get busy at times. Only attempt this on good footwear (absolutely no sandals) Time 4 hours top and back plus time for rest stops. Top tip: Make absolutely sure to bring mosquito repellent in summer as they love the fresh water pools you pass on the way up!
