Famed, unique destination offering village retail shops, restaurants & a kids' entertainment center.
Tuurin Kyläkauppa is "the must visit" place in Finland. It's something you must see to understand whats "all the fuss" about it :)

suprisengly nice spot in middle of finland💁😀😂 good food and friendly staff woman says that the prices are also good💁🤦‍♂️😀 beer places are avabible🍻🍻😀👌
Kaspar E — Google review
Part shopping centre, part social commentary. Tuurin kyläkauppa is a strange blend of consumer spectacle and faux luxury, like someone tried to bring Vegas to rural Finland. There's a feeling of faded grandeur, with gold-coloured finishes and a sense of trying very hard to impress. It’s a glimpse into what "lotto-win luxury" might look like to everyday folks. Worth a visit just to experience this surreal slice of Finnish/American kitsch. Great service.

Ranjana T — Google review
This place was stunning. I was there at this summer, and it was good. The Tivoli, shop, Moomin park and food. I also got free fries, comics and ice cream. When I was at the store, I was stunned. I'm more old metal/rock and movies, and god there was much of them! I bought a Metallica merch there and it fitted very nice too me. I liked when there was a Lightning McQueen, and the Lego bulding of Tuuri. The paintings was so stunning too. I liked that unicorn thingie. This place bringed me back as a little child. Recommend to go there!
Liam K — Google review
Disappointed. Just a big building filled with stuff you can find all over Finland. Not worth the hassle of parking and dealing with a thousand people in one place. Lots of things to do that attract young families, which is great. I can only imagine what it would be like on a rainy Saturday around lunchtime. 😅

Huvivaltio PowerPark

Mentioned on

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Nestled in the heart of South Ostrobothnia, Huvivaltio PowerPark is a sprawling amusement park that promises fun for visitors of all ages. With an impressive array of rides ranging from thrilling roller coasters to family-friendly attractions, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The park also features go-karts and mini-golf, making it a perfect destination for those seeking adventure and entertainment.
Absolutely brilliant place to go with the kids. A bit unlucky that it was +29 when we were there. But no queues and so many different rides and things to do for all ages.
Henrik Ö — Google review
✅️Total experience was great ✅️The park and the city are both very beautiful ✅️The pizza buffet was good ❌️The only thing that I didn't like was the indoor Karting. The boost buttons for all of us were deactivated without telling us. I was pushing the boost button all the time, hoping it would work.
Behnaz — Google review
Really nice rides, no long waits. And it was one of the nicest days of summer. it is really good that they allow you to bring your own food and everything is fairly well situated. We didn't have time for the carting and movies though, so perhaps a 2 day visit is preferable for the full experience.
Laura R — Google review
Really cool rides, a challenge even for dare devils. It’s good to know that kids may have the height but not the age for some of the rides and they have to be accompanied by an adult (over 15 years). If you don’t wanna go yourself you can ask a service host in the park if they can arrange for someone in the personell to go with your child. Great service (and a cool job to have 😆). Surprisingly few of the staff speak any other language but Finnish. I really like the variety of food choices in the park. You can eat a healthy sallad or a buffet of pizza and tacos and of course all other choices we associate with amusement parks. On the downside the park closes early and some of the staff have a really low service level. I also think it’s worrying how they don’t speak any English. How is that even possible? They don’t listen to the customer to hear what language they speak. They just assume everyone speaks Finnish. But even though: Highly recommended!

Introduction PowerPark is a large amusement park that offers attractions for both children and adults. Visitors are drawn to its wide variety of rides and activities, with something suitable for every age group. Attractions There are many rides designed for younger children, and one of the highlights is the wooden roller coaster. The park also features several water rides, perfect for warmer days. In addition to rides, there are plenty of carnival-style games where you can win prizes – but be prepared to spend quite a bit of money before you succeed. Prices and facilities Admission is surprisingly affordable: €8 for an adult ticket, which is very cheap compared to most amusement parks in Europe. Inside the park you’ll find several restaurants, snack stands, and a shop with toys and souvenirs. Additional activities Beyond the amusement rides, the park also includes a large karting track, a cinema, and a campsite for those who want to stay longer. This makes PowerPark more than just a typical amusement park. Practical information An interesting bonus is free entry during the last hour before closing. However, most rides and restaurants are already closed at that time. Still, it can be worthwhile for a quick walk around the park or to get a brief impression of what’s on offer. Conclusion PowerPark combines affordable pricing, entertaining attractions, and extra activities, making it one of the more accessible and versatile parks in Europe. It is suitable for families, couples, and anyone looking for a fun day out in a relaxed setting.

Seinäjoki Main Library

Library
Beautiful and modern library. Only issue: the public wifi requires you to log in every 30 minutes
Lorenzo C — Google review
I asked why employees don't put order in Finnish libraries and why there are barefeet children running and teenagers or children loudly growlings, loudly laughing and loudly screaming since I noticed this is actually happening in Finnish libraries. I did that after I reserved a room and heard disrupting problematic noises from next room. The clerk or employee replied "Because we accept all kinds of people." and I logically replied that "Libraries by definition are principally a place to undisturbedly and quietly study, if you allow every problematic behaviour and people such as these then the people who want to undisturbedly study will leave and it actually defeats the purpose of what libraries are for and next they will allow bonfires inside, violence and theft and then murder. One leads to the other through compromise and compromise." So I was actually the one unemotional, rational and logical and she was actually the hyperemotional thinking with her emotions and feelings without facts and without logic. And she insisted that the Finnish law say so then I logically and factually replied "Then the law is literally by definition, 100% wrong. That is truly not what a library is and how it operates. That's a community centre. And on this world there are objectively factual truths, unfortunately for you. So as it is the case when I jump from 5th floor 70 km into concrete I will turn into marmelade so is actually the fact that libraries are principally definition and by purpose places to undisturbedly and quietly study without noises. You can very quietly whisper but that's it. If you let every problematic person here who actually creates problems under the pretense of "allowing differences" then there will be chaos". I do nol understand this new infinitely illogical hardwiring of sacrificing everything to the altar of sentimentally irrational inclusivity and subjectivity, so no matter how they polish a bad apple or make it giant I care about the essence and the substance of things. It is a good community center but still not a library. As a library it fails no matter how fancily elaborate you make it and dress it.

At first i tought it is going to be a booring experience, much of my surprise it is very modern and a good place for study or just to hang out. There is a clubhouse for youngsters, and you can make your own t-shirt if you have your own design pay for only the material price. There is a 3d printer if you have a project you can also do that also for material price, there is a music room where you can play on a good variety of instruments. Lots of comfortable places where you even can take a nap. Now that is a surprise... There is a little coffee shop with snack and sandwiches. Free internet access and so on and on, not to mention the books. :) what else you need to hangout? Did i mentioned the the board games that you can play with friends? This is a good place to socialise too.

Just one word: awesome! The porter (coffee) beer was godlike, the sausage platter was top notch (every ingredient tasted great), the venue looks lovely old-school and it even has freaking goats outside (and you can eat crickets, although I did not yet try them, that is awesome too)! Definitely recommend!

Great place to go have a tasty beer and be with friends. The staff is always very friendly and the atmosphere is really cozy. The beer shop upstairs is great as well and the seasonal markets are nice. :) They also recently handled a small wedding reception for me and my husband and it was amazing. Food was stellar, drinks were always on the way, and the staff were great as usual.

The place is super nice and cozy. There are some goats 🐐 outside. The food is good. We had chanterelle mushroom soup. I tried the tasting beer set that had six tiny beers you can pick from the taps. The beer is very bland and they pretty much taste all the same. Fun to try but I would not buy this beer again.

A good water park for all ages. From two months old to older. Although the park area is not very large, it has a good variety. Two indoor and outdoor pools with safe slides for children up to two years old and two pools for older children. Several different slides for adults, a wave pool, a restaurant and a cafe, sun loungers, and a couple of jacuzzis. Also a sauna and massage (which was closed when we went). The men's and women's changing rooms are clean and tidy. The quality of the food was also very good. The park facilities are not very extensive but good. The price (27 euros for an adult) is very high. Parking is difficult to find during the summer holidays. The various areas are wheelchair accessible. The staff is very friendly.

The receptionist chose the wrong amount of food for us and we reported that to the receptionist but they just said there was nothing they could do because the food was already done , we ended up eating more food than we needed and had to pay for it , I think they should retrain the receptionists and they need to remember to read all the items the customer ordered before proceeding 🙄

I wish I had seen this when this place was new. Strong 5 stars would be for that it is survived over the years. 3 stars only because I want to be honest for others. As activity facility it is surely nice place to be in summer and during warm days for sure. For kids nothing matters all they want is warm water and a lots to play. Adults see and notice that better days has gone and place needs to be updated and renovated into original shine and maintained for customer eyes to that glory that it should be. This all was noticed while sitting in bubble bath and looking to the ceiling and around. Price big or small matters for people with different wallet thickness and taste of surroundings, but I considered it costly for four person family. Now I know and have been and considering going only when price is lowered to the level that premises provide today and not more.

Has something to offer for everyone, even very small slides for our 2 year old child. Temperature is good (water and air) so that you feel comfortable even for longer stays. Showers were very clean. Easily accessible via car and enough parking spaces available. A bit expensive but still ok.

Art Museums
Västerbotten Museum, located within the Gammlia museum complex, offers a captivating journey through the history of the province from ancient times to the present day. The museum features a diverse range of exhibitions, including an impressive collection of skiing artifacts dating back thousands of years and an exploration of Sami rock art. Visitors can also enjoy temporary exhibitions, workshops, and activities for children. Additionally, the museum boasts a quality café specializing in organic cuisine.
Super great experience and totally free. There is a gift shop and a cafe you can spend some money at though. There is something for everyone in this museum, its so diverse. If you are interested in art, history, buildings, textiles they have it. If you only got a few hours you might need to pick the most interesting areas. When we visited there were a temporary exhibition about abortion which was heart breaking but such an important topic. If its there go see it. The outdoor part is mostly buildings along with information, which we really appreciated. Its a kilometer plus walk, but well worth it.
Micael H — Google review
The museum have a great vibe. To know the snow-to-stone-to-iron-to-bronze history a great place to visit. Also you can find from where the symbol of Västerbotten county came from (you can try to find also). The buildings/structures outside the main building are also must visit. Do not forget to visit the school and get a lecture from a very cool teacher.

Totally a must go place when your in Umeå! This probably is one of the most vivid museums I’ve ever been. Starting from the ice age until futuristic art, this place covers everything. And it’s even free! While there could be more information in English (use the Google translator app), the artifacts are beautiful and the same goes for the houses as well. I also enjoyed all the artwork which was displayed. Thanks to me visiting the museum on a weekday not in season; there weren’t a lot of people and I could enjoy the art / objects. Totally recommend this place. Also, it’s easily accessible for people in wheelchairs and for cyclists there is a bycicle parking area.

Västerbotten museum locate in the Gammlia area. It's completely free to enter and have a good time here. The stuff they show here is not the most surprising, some of the descriptions only in Swedish. Overall it is still a pretty good museum especially since they have a lot of events going on here.

The well-planned infrastructure, numerous amenities, and outstanding natural beauty make this a place that suits everyone, regardless of age or interest.

It's very beautiful, and the paths are easy to walk and follow. However, I'm removing one star because it can get very crowded at times. The camping areas are also very small; we had two people putting up their tent just two meters from ours, which wasn't very pleasant and detracted from the nature experience.

Awesome national park. Good for all seasons. In winter it could be that only one trail is open depending on snow amount but truly great hiking place. Enough parking. Actual hike in winter would say moderate some parts hard. But with good hiking footwear all is possible. In summer lots of green and water everywhere. Landscape is so gorgeous. I recommend any season this national park.

Very nice national park with great views of the ocean of the high coast. We came here in late march and had our snow shoes with us which was a very good idea. Without them you just sink in the snow. After about 2.5 km from the west entrance we came to a nice hut and from there it was a bit more challenging hike to the must see “skreva” which is iconic. Works if you’re in good shape 💪

What a wonderful hike. We stayed just a few minutes away from this wonderful National Park. We entered from the south with its huge parking lot, which was almost full on that day (but free of charge). There are some good and useful information signs just at the entrance and a handful of (smelly) bathrooms. And pretty much your first and last chance to get rid of your garbage. We followed the well marked Höga Kustenleden trail up to Slåttdalsskrevan, the famous crevice which cuts through the mountain for about 200m. The trail itself ist pretty flat but with some steep stairs / sections once in a while. Some parts you'll walk on wooden panels/boards. But it's nowhere near wheelchair or stroller accessable. Good hiking boots are a must, since it can be wet and damp even on a dry summer day. Some sections of the trail are covered with stones in several sizes, so bring a good balance with. We traveled with our Engllish Bulldog and she made it to Slåttdalsskrevan and back, even had fun doing so (into the Slåttdalsskrevan I went alone though, the climb was to high and steep). The trail mostly leads you through the forest, so there's not much of a view. But the nature is amazing, especially when the forest opens up a bit and the rugged and foggy landscape shows itself. Even though it's a well visited park (free of charge) it never felt crowded. It's just you and the nature. And it's not a too tough hike, but bring some water anyways and clothes to change afterwards. A fantastic park and very much one of the highlights we've visited on our Sweden Road Trip.

Absolutely incredible in the last week of June. Would highly recommend camping at Tärnättvattnet which is a beautiful little lake where you can swim. Also the beach at Kälviken is magnificent.

Spectacular hike with breathtaking views to Bothnian Sea (from enter Syd first orange and then blue trail ten you go over the beautiful hills). Easy hike even with children. Round trip to Slåttdalsskrevan and back with calm pace takes 4-5hours. Nature changes throughout t hike, so it interesting all the time.

5-star experience! After roaming around at the fortress last month we had lunch at the restaurant where I asked if they served Swedish Meatballs (this was off menu). The friendly waitress informed us that would be no problem and immediately requested the chef to make a *delicious* dish of Swedish meatballs with potato mousse - free of charge!! It is without a doubt that we will return and introduce our guests to the fortress and welcoming restaurant.

Its all about the view and the history about Hemsö färstning. The restaurant is of good quality, looks and feel newly built. Get the "good table" close to the cannon and enjoy you meal, beer och glas of wine. Very friendly staff. Be prepared for bus-tours visiting, so from beeing completly empy the restaurant (and its toilets) can be full in mather of minutes. Great place, you should go.
Jim S — Google review
The guided tour was fantastic, apart from an old worker from the base that kept interrupting our awesome tour guide and trying to take over the show, feel really sorry for our guide, we could tell he was losing the interest of speaking because of the old guy after a few stops. The restaurant on the other hand , the buffet looked like a disgrace, sure if you want to pay 120kr for a salad buffet go ahead but me and the 6 others decided to drive an hour to find more appealing food, sorry guys but you need to pick up your game in the kitchen.

I love these little old villages. I have been to plenty now, Poland, Latvia, and now this little swedish one, and it is always so fun to see how the used to live. We went in the evening, it was closed, but you could still just enter and wander around, which of course we did. It is always worth stopping at these places if you pass, and like to see some history. I got the impression during the day/weekends/peak season they do demonstrations etc. That would be nice to see

Wonderfully located right on the water. Genuine feeling and super friendly staff which are actually all volunteers. I was there for the Cultural festival and it was chilled out and relaxed with great music. Even though there might not be an event its still worth a visit because of the authenticity. Kids have space to run around exploring nature. Don't forget to bring swimming gear if the weather is nice since there is a lovely beach right next to the viking village.

Behnoosh B — Google review
This is a really nice place with lots of kind people and a very warm atmosphere. Great for children and families! You can dive into the the way of living in a small viking village. Bake your own little viking bread, create some felt balls, twist a bracelet or learn something about runes - the villagers will show you how. When the horn is blown - be sure to look what's going on because probably there will be some action and you can learn something about viking sagas or ancient music. The highlight is a trip on the lake with a rebuilt viking boat - don't miss this, it's a lot of fun (and a little chaotic maybe). It's an international atmosphere and you will hear different languages here besides Swedish. The villagers keeping everything alive are volunteers from all over the world. A great place to be during summer - don't miss this.
Antonia A — Google review

Our family is from the area and this was their first time visiting and they can’t wait to come back with more family and friends.

Excellent attempt to preserve the Viking era. We were told that they have been running this place since past 22 years successfully. And rightfully so! Upon entering the premises, one can get the feeling of walking around the Viking soil, watching the Vikings live. They have people dressed as the Vikings, adult Vikings, Viking children and so on. They have created the Viking village with convincing landscapes compelling the visitors to imagine the Vikings lifestyle and more. They have invested lot of time and effort to exhibit authenticity worth the admiration. It was worth the drive!

Trolska Skogen

Water & Amusement Parks

Wow, wow, wow! The place was recommended to us from the reception at the camping spot. We were asked to go even though the place was closed (off season). But the place still looks amazing and we experienced the most magical forest ever! If you are closeby, it’s a must to go there! It’s not only for children and don’t worry if “the show” is not running.
K.e. — Google review
Trolska Skogen is an absolutely magical place that both children and adults will love. Nestled in the beautiful Swedish forest, it feels like stepping into a fairytale world filled with trolls, mystical creatures, and charming woodland paths. The storytelling throughout the park is creative and engaging, with interactive performances that bring the characters to life in a way that captivates visitors of all ages. Every corner of the forest reveals something new—hidden houses, quirky decorations, and playful surprises that spark imagination. The staff are incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and fully in character, which adds to the overall charm of the experience. It’s not a big park, but it’s the perfect size for a half-day adventure, especially for families with young children. The café offers tasty snacks and drinks, and the surrounding nature is stunning. I highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking along forest trails. Trolska Skogen is a wonderful escape from everyday life, where creativity and nature come together beautifully. We had a fantastic time and would definitely come back for more magical memories!

Lovely place for families. Been three times over the past 5 years and my English daughter has enjoyed it aged 5, 6 and 10 - as have the accompanying grown-ups (English and Swedish). It's an engaging adventure trail with acted scenes, characters to talk to and activities to engage with. The story is different each year. The actors are happy to play out their roles in Swedish or English and possibly more, always catering to the children present. It can be a little scary in parts (in a fun way!) but is suitable for young children. You can skip scary bits and the actors are sympathetic. Would definitely recommend.

A very interesting aircraft museum containing mostly Saab fighter jets that were stationed at F15 base from 1946 to 1998. The volunteers here have done a wonderful job of restoring and maintaining the aircraft. You can climb the ladders to look inside the cockpits. They have good displays around the jets to explain all details including the daily operations. It is good for the children as they have aircraft toys to keep them entertained. Unfortunately the simulator was only available at the weekend and I was there on a weekday. You need to book in advance and to check the operating days from their website.

A really nice museum detailing Swedish military aviation at the airbase from when it was established to when it closed down. The volunteers are great and the entrance fee is reasonable. The little gift shop and cafe are nice touches. The flight simulator is definitely recommended - book in advance to be sure of a slot. The exhibitions are nice and well detailed and the historical photos are really good.

Plenty of planes and information about them, a good selection of exhibits too as well as some excellent models of planes through the ages. If your a fan of the earlier days of jet powered flight there is lots to take in. You can really get a sense of what the base was like in its operational days! The gift shop is well stocked too! My only criticism is that parts of the museum are a touch dated and could do with a touch of modernising. This may be subject to taste though. Overall a fun experience!

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.
Tanya G — Google review
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.

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.

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!

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!
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.

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.

Museums
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!
David K — Google review
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!
Rui A — Google review
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.

The Royal Palace

Mentioned on 
+135 other lists 
Castle
Museums
The Royal Palace, also known as Kungliga Slottet, is a magnificent Baroque-style palace in Stockholm, Sweden. It serves as the official residence of the Swedish monarch and houses over 600 rooms along with three museums and a vast library. Visitors can opt for an admission fee that includes a guided tour to explore the grandeur of this symbol of Sweden's monarchy. The palace offers a glimpse into history and culture through its opulent Royal Apartments, Treasury, and Royal Chapel.
The Royal Palace is an absolute must-see in Stockholm. The state rooms are jaw-dropping — every ceiling, wall, and piece of furniture is so ornate and over the top, it’s like walking through a living piece of history. But the real surprise is the basement. It has a completely different vibe — less formal, more immersive — and might actually be the most interesting part of the entire tour. You get a closer look at artifacts, the palace’s foundation, and stories that feel more personal than grand. If you have limited time, don’t skip the lower levels. It’s the perfect contrast to the splendor upstairs and gives a fuller picture of the palace’s history.
Jarred F — Google review
I took a guided tour and it was very good! The history and original decor was beautiful! There is no natural light in many rooms as to protect the artwork, so it was a little difficult to get quality photos and see some of the fine detail. The tour was not too long, but the chapel in a separate section of the main entrance was amazing and free to enter!
Jake W — Google review
We didn’t have time to buy tickets for entry, but there is a small gift shop that you can visit without entering the palace. The items there make for lovely souvenirs, and the prices are very reasonable. The quality of the products is quite good, making it a worthwhile stop even if you can’t go inside the palace itself

Pretty expensive... But definitely worth the money if you enjoy history. We missed the noon guard change too so somehow try to make it, as it's something that will enhance the experience. It's interesting to visit the museum and be sure to occasionally look up at the ceiling for some beautiful designs. The palace was also pretty good and child-friendly :) gamla stan itself is a good place, tbh

Visiting the Royal Palace in Stockholm was an absolute highlight of my trip! The sheer grandeur and elegance of the building left me in awe from the very first moment. With its impressive architecture and rich history, it truly feels like stepping into a living piece of Sweden’s royal heritage. Each room we entered told a story, from the beautifully adorned halls to the treasures in the Royal Apartments and the glittering Crown Jewels in the Treasury. I especially loved the changing of the guard outside, which added a touch of ceremony and tradition to the experience. What I appreciated most was how well everything is preserved and presented. It’s not just a “museum,” it’s a vibrant place where history and tradition are still alive today. If you’re visiting Stockholm, the Royal Palace is a must. Whether you love history, architecture, or just want to immerse yourself in the regal atmosphere of Sweden, this place is unforgettable.
Andrei M — Google review
The palace was beautiful and there was some interesting art and architecture, but it’s not really that different from any other European royal palace to make it worth the 200kr/$20 ticket. If you are really into royals, this might be a more exciting place to visit. Otherwise you might be better off enjoying other sights.
TJ — Google review
If you’re somewhat interested in the royals or want to spend money, go for it. Otherwise I don’t believe it’s totally worth it. It’s just lots of mirrors and some artwork. Building was beautiful tho and staff seemed nice enough.

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?

It is small compared to other animal theme park in Sweden. But it is still a good place for kids to enjoy. Unfortunately water park was closed since we visited late summer or early fall.

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.

Stockholm City Hall

Mentioned on 
+103 other lists 
City Hall
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled along the waterfront, Stockholm City Hall is a striking architectural gem completed in 1923, showcasing beautiful red brick and topped with a lantern-like tower. This iconic building is not only known for its stunning design but also as the venue for the prestigious annual Nobel Prize banquet. Visitors can wander through its grand ceremonial halls and council chamber, while those seeking breathtaking views can climb to the top of its tower for panoramic vistas of Stockholm's picturesque landscape.
Visited in September and definitely worth it. The garden is stunning as it has views of the water all around. It is important to mention that you need to book a tour in order to visit the inside of the City Hall, but it’s totally worth. The tour guide was very kind and answered every question thoroughly. If you come to Stockholm it is worth visiting
Andrea M — Google review
We were visiting the tower only and we enjoyed it a lot. It is very well kept, there is a lift for part of the stairs and there is a limited period of time you can spend upstairs as they form groups at certain intervals. I recommend buying tickets online as they dissappear fast.

Stockholm City Hall is one of the most impressive landmarks in the city – an architectural masterpiece that combines history, culture, and breathtaking views. The building is majestic from the outside with its red bricks, tall tower, and elegant arches, while the interior is equally stunning with its richly decorated halls, especially the Golden Hall, where mosaics glitter and tell stories from Sweden’s history. The outdoor areas are just as remarkable – the beautiful courtyard and gardens, the statue of Birger Jarl (the city’s founder), and the scenic promenade along the water. From here you get some of the best views of Stockholm and the surrounding islands. The place feels both peaceful and inspiring, perfect for photography or simply enjoying a walk and the atmosphere. I highly recommend joining a guided tour – you’ll discover many fascinating stories about the building and the Nobel Prize banquets held here. Even if you don’t go inside, the complex and the waterfront are a must-see stop for every visitor to Stockholm. A true symbol of the city – beautiful, inspiring, and unforgettable! 🌟

We had such an amazing time visiting the Stockholm City Hall! The building is stunning, but what really made the visit special was our guide, Chris (Christopher). He was honestly phenomenal — super knowledgeable, funny, and so passionate about what he does. You could tell he truly loves sharing the history and stories behind the place, and Stockholm's/Sweden's history in general, which made the whole tour come alive. We all left saying how much we wished there were more guides like him! If you get the chance to visit, definitely do the English guided tour — it’s 100% worth it.

Stadstuset, is the city hall of Stockholm Municipality in Sweden. It is the venue of the Nobel Prize banquet and a major attraction for tourists. It is an example of Sweden's National Romantic style architecture, having a refined eclecticism, some elements of Venetian Gothic architecture, having blue decorated walls and made with almost 8 million red bricks.. In 1907, the work started being assembled, while the construction took twelve years, from 1911 to 1923, being finally inaugurated on 23rd of June 1923.

It is a truly amazing place to visit, with beauty both inside and out. As it is a building where people work, they have implemented strict rules, including being escorted by a local guide, which is a sensible measure for maintaining order. The interior is particularly lovely, featuring a variety of different rooms.

A masterpiece of Swedish Architecture. This building is an amazing experience for all whom are interested in nordic architecture philosophy. The legacy of heritage in terms of spaces and finishings could be found here. Huge interior spaces, impressive dialogue between walls - floors and ceilings. Genuine local marble, beautiful textured brickwork. A landmark of Stockholm, the heart of Nobel Prize Ceremony, which shouldn't be missed from your itinerary.

A nice day in the weekend in an island in the Swedish archipelago.. An hour long boat journey (158 kr, return) from the port of Nynashamn, you will arrive here at the island of Utö! 🇸🇪 🔸 Summer started to fade already here but today's sun was good to do a cycling trip of 30km or so within the island from Utö to Ålö! I'm very glad I decided to rent a bicycle for 140 kr a day to take this cycling trip. It was so wonderful as the journey took me through old woodlands, dense forest areas, lakes, a tiny bridge, sand beaches and to the baltic sea as well. It gives me a sensation that I took a good decision in renting a bicycle. Had I not rented it, probably wouldn't have made it to Ålö! So... it was nice! 😊👍

Vildriket

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Great concept, with a collection of Nordic fauna and flora. Well set up, with a wooden walkway all around the mountain forest park overlooking the animal enclosures, and with lovely very Swedish rest spots along the way, with grilling facilities. Open every day of the year, from 10:00-15:00. It says on GoogleMaps that people typically spend 20 min to 1 hr at Vildriket. I think that is a gross underestimation. We spent about 4 hrs there ourselves. I think it would also be nice to pay a visit in the evening when the animals are a little more active, especially with all the owl species they have.

Such a gem! We had a wonderful time. We spent there 2.5 hours and even though it was raining it didn't make the experience any less exciting. The platforms were not slippery at all even when wet. Each animals had a wonderful story with interesting facts. There were only two exhibits that didn't have animals due to very clearly explained reasons. There were a lot of public toilets available with small distances from each other.

Easy walk on the wooden path. Lots to see, lots of good information, and nicely shaded. The animals looked well cared for. Information is in Swedish with English summaries. I enjoyed this as a solo adult traveler, probably even better for kids. Note that they rebranded to Vildsriket from Järvsö Zoo and Google Maps can still be a bit messy.

First of all where do I start? I had a fantastic stay at the Wolf Hotel. From start to finish it was amazing! An unforgettable experience. Everybody was so kind from Jensen to Karin, and all the other staff I had the pleasure of meeting, thank you! Breakfast in the other hotel everyday was really yummy. It had everything you could want! I even ate there in the evening, it was delicious. Now for the hotel... I heard the wolves howling as soon as I walked in 😂.The room was super spacious, warm and very comfortable. I had everything I needed. The little kitchenette upstairs was very well equipped and clean. The whole property for cleanliness I would rate 10/10. I did venture into the zoo at night a little bit, it was snowing when I went and the whole atmosphere was magical. I saw all the animals!! (except the bears of course) The animals were so friendly and came up close so I was able to see the them all! The wolverines I think we're my FAVOURITE. I had never seen one before and they were so interactive and fun! Each animal was of course gorgeous! It was amazing to see them all. The wolves you can tell are so well looked after, from the fur to the size of them. I have been to other zoos in UK where they look thin and unhappy but not at Järvzoo. Each time I went past the wolf pen they came out and were very interested. The whole park is beautiful. I went at the start of November and I am so glad I did. There are so many things to discover. The town is very nice to walk around, the buildings are very quaint. I definitely fell in love with Sweden especially Järvzoo. I cannot wait to come back and hopefully soon! ❤️🐺🦊🦌

Järvzoo is a fantastic Nordic zoo set in a beautiful forest in the heart of Sweden. The sweeping boardwalk makes the experience much more natural as if you’re peering down into the habitat of animals in the wild. One thing to note is that some of the main attractions such as the bears will be hibernating during the colder winter months so make sure to plan your trip depending on what you’re hoping to see.

A once iron factor now transform into a museum of some sort with a space to host events. Used to be the centre that manufactured steell that was exported all over the world

Ticket price too high for mediocre content. Tripped on a raised stone floor in the dark and fell to the ground.

A fantastic family experience – up close with moose! We visited Virum Moose Park a few days ago, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Sweden! It was the first time we had ever seen moose so close – we even got to "kiss" them! Both our children and we adults had a great time, and we can highly recommend this place. In addition to moose, there are also goats, pot-bellied pigs, and fallow deer to see and pet, which our kids especially enjoyed. There's also a nice grill area on site, perfect for a relaxed lunch in nature. A wonderful and memorable outing for the whole family!

Visiting Virum Älgpark was a fantastic experience. It’s amazing how close you can get to the moose — much closer than expected! You’re given plenty of potatoes to feed them, and there’s definitely a good chance to see them up close, pet them, and even give them a kiss if you dare. The guides are great and make sure everyone gets a chance to feed the moose. A super fun and unique experience, especially for animal lovers!

Those who bought the tickets online go through the entrance first. We chose to sit in the roof of the safari vehicle, the train moves very slowly so sitting on the roof wasn't scary. Once we arrived at the feeding zone, the attendants gave us potatoes to feed the animals, where we touched their soft horns and nose. After at least 20 mins in the enclosure, we drove out and the moses went to rest in the shadows. Afterwards, we got our sausages, barbecued them and made a sandwich. We walked on the bunny trail, bought souvenirs and left. The price is too high for what I experienced and expected. I would have loved to have more information about the history and the mission of the park.

Hands down the best experience we had in all of Sweden. As if the moose Safari and the fun train car caravan was not fun enough, we were able to buy hotdog and sausages to grill over an open fire. We also petted a bunch of sweet goats and got to feed them. The owners were super nice and down to earth and put a lot of love and care into creating this very unique experience. Must do! Our kids loved it and so did we.

We had such an absolutely wonderful day at the moose park. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the park is set in a beautiful, idyllic location. The whole experience was just amazing. The moose are unbelievably gentle and sweet. I think I might just move here and become a moose keeper🫶🏻😍.

Great place. Really cool for children. Good idea the possibility to cock the sausages on the fire with sticks after safari.
