The Vasa Museum

The Vasa Museum ( Stockholm, Sweden ) • from Wreck to STATE OF THE ART. Get up close and personal to one of the world best preserved and and only surviving 17th. century warship.

Skeppsholmen Hotel

Skeppsholmen Hotel • ( Stockholm, Skeppsholmen Island, Sweden ) I would risk to say that from now on, Skeppsholmen Hotel is among my top choice of hotels around the world.

Design style, boutique, small venue, personalized service, warm atmosphere, amazing views of Stockholm city and fun crowd.
