No visit to Stockholm is complete without a visit to this outdoor museum of Swedish life. They have everything from Swedish houses, crafts, cultures and also a zoo complete with Swedish bears, reindeer and wolves. This would also be great for families.

This museum houses the Vasa warship which sunk on its maiden voyage in 1628 and lay on the sea bed in Stockholm harbour until it was raised in 1961. It is a wooden ship with the most amazingly preserved carvings. It is displayed in a sort of half-light to preserve it and very ingeniously the museum is built around the ship with viewing platforms and a reconstruction of life on the ship.

For the first two days we bought a 'Stockholm card', which gave us admission to loads of museums and attractions as well as unlimited travel on buses, metro and regional trains. We stopped at a hotel just out of the city centre and travelled in every day, the buses and trains always run to time and getting around is very easy.

We flew from Heathrow to Arlanda airport and then caught the Arlanda express into the city. This was fantastic - fast, clean, on time with the politest staff ever!
