    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.

    Drottningholm Palace, located near Stockholm, is a magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Site and the private residence of the Swedish royal family. Built in the 17th century, it’s often called the “Versailles of Sweden” for its grand architecture, lavish interiors, and beautifully landscaped gardens.

The palace gardens, with their fountains and tree-lined avenues, are perfect for leisurely walks and photos. Easily accessible by boat or metro, Drottningholm offers a fascinating glimpse into royal history and elegant Swedish culture—a must-visit for history and architecture lovers.
