Creator's Key Takeaways

Stockholm is Sweden's capital near the southwest coast. And what to do in Stockholm? Almost too much.

We would prefer the Emelie, especially since kids under 13 ride for free, and you can bring strollers on the deck.

Honestly, this is one of the best museums I've seen in Europe so far.

Try the licorice. It's really good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Uber or ride share for the best transport option from the port.
Take the MS Emelie ferry for a convenient and affordable ride to key attractions.
Visit the Nordic Museum for an immersive historical experience.
Plan to spend about 2 hours at the ABBA Museum and go early to avoid crowds.
