Stockholm: Vasa Museum Guided Tour with Entry

Meet your guide at the entrance and purchase tickets to the Vasa Museum, then head straight past the ticket line to enter the museum together. Discover the history of the Vasa warship as you explore the museum with your guide. Begin with details about the Swedish Empire and the war during which the ship was commissioned, and explore how warnings about the ship's seaworthiness were disregarded. Find out why the Vasa eventually sank on its maiden voyage, still within sight of the shipyard where it was constructed. Then, listen as your guide explains how the ship was later found and ultimately salvaged. See the 19th-century maps used to locate the ship and hear about the engineering involved in salvaging the wreck. Leave your tour with a deeper understanding of the Vasa warship's history, including everything that happened, and how the museum is as it is today.
