nanocats Posted June 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2009 We'll be in Stockholm for 9hrs (8-5) on a Saturday this July. We are definately doing the Vasa, Skansen, Royal Armory, and walking through Gamla Stan. We maybe have time for one more thing. Need recommendations on what of the following to add? Thanks! Nordic Musuem Royal Apartments and Royal Treasury Changing of the Guard City Hall Other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishtravelguy Posted June 4, 2009 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Why not try the National Museum of Art (National Museet) It doesnt have a huge collection, but still plenty to see with a selection from 1900 - 1970 (with the usual attractions pf Matisse, Warhol etc to keep you entertained). The building itself is a really pleasant space with lots of seating areas and some huge picture windows in the galleries looking out at Stockholm. It's free to visit, and the place was quite busy on my Sunday visit - it seems that it is THE place for a weekend outing for young families. Very good espresso bar right by the entrance and a busy retaurant. Excellent shop Hvae fun on your trip:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is not free to visit. Admission prices are SEK 100 for adults and SEK 80 for students, seniors and groups of 15 or more.

Nghthawke Posted June 6, 2009 #4 Share Posted June 6, 2009 We did the Vasa and the Royal Armoury -- do not skip the exhibition of royal carriages on the lower level. We also did the Chokladfabriken which was an easy bus ride from the Royal Armoury: http://www.chokladfabriken.com/english/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
