    The Vasa Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, is located on the island of Djurgården and is famous for its collection of the 17th-century shipwreck "Vasa". As the only intact 17th-century warship in the world, the Vasa is equipped with 5 decks and 64 guns, with intricate and exquisite carvings on the hull and more than 700 Baroque-style sculptures that demonstrate its former glory. The museum also exhibits many salvaged cultural relics, and through rich exhibits and theme exhibitions, it vividly reproduces the shipbuilding technology, maritime culture and artistic style of Sweden at that time.

    Very beautiful palace. The package includes four exhibition halls. In addition to the main venue (Royal Residence), you can also visit three exhibition halls such as the Treasure Hall. There is a guard handover ceremony and band performance at 12:15 noon every day in summer on the Royal Palace Square. Although the scale of the Stockholm Royal Palace is not as large as the Palace of Versailles and Schönbrunn Palace. But its exquisiteness is no worse than that of the Palace of Versailles, and it does not charge money to use the toilet like the Palace of Versailles, and it is also not like the Schönbrunn Palace where you cannot take photos inside. In short, I think it is very cost-effective!

    The Nobel Prize results were about to be announced, so I decided to visit the Nobel Museum. The entrance fee was 150 kroner, and the museum wasn't very big, but I thought it was worth a visit.

    Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, is a charming maze of cobblestone streets, colorful 17th- and 18th-century buildings, and hidden courtyards. Founded in the 13th century, it’s one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval centers. The area brims with history, from the grand Royal Palace to Storkyrkan Cathedral and the Nobel Prize Museum. Cozy cafés, artisan shops, and atmospheric alleyways make wandering here a delight. In winter, festive markets fill the main square, Stortorget, with lights and warmth. Whether you’re after culture, architecture, or a leisurely stroll, Gamla Stan offers a magical glimpse into Sweden’s past while buzzing with modern Scandinavian charm.

    The Baltic Sea is very beautiful, and the water is particularly clear. We arrived here in the evening. There were not many people and it was a little cold, but the scenery was very good. It was also a very good scenery to enjoy the Baltic Sea under the sunset.

    I didn't stay in Sweden for long. I booked tickets in advance for visa application and went to see it. Compared with the royal palaces in other European countries, this one is relatively small and I don't know much about the history. I can only say that I had a quick look.

    I came here to buy a boat ticket to Finland tomorrow. I came from the old town and headed east along the shore. I arrived in a short while. Then I accidentally found this building interesting. There is a window for buying boat tickets on one end and a museum on the other. I checked and found that it is a photography museum, and it is a world-renowned museum. The photography museum mainly exhibits photographers and their works that have not received attention in Scandinavia for various reasons. Each season has a different theme and exhibits the works of photographers that match this theme. It is said that there will be four large-scale professional photography exhibitions in this venue every year. It’s a pity that I am a mobile phone addict. TIPS There is an open-air coffee bar on the top floor of the museum. This leisure moment by the canal in Stockholm is really not to be missed.
