We enjoyed a short 2 day stay in Stockholm at the start of our long journey from the UK to Australia. We set off by train from Darlington to Manchester Airport. Then we had a short flight with SAS to Stockholm. Our base for 3 nights was the Radisson Blu hotel at Arlanda airport. It was easy to travel into Stockholm city using the frequent bus service from the airport.
We had a long walk around Stockholm and visited the amazing Vasa Museum to view the early 17th century Vasa warship that unfortunately sank on its maiden voyage. The museum describes how the Vasa was salvaged and the exhibition halls show objects from the ship and outline what life was like on board.
Next day we spent time exploring Gamla Stan, the old town, wandering along the cobbled streets and winding alleys.
Then it was time to leave and catch our flight to Singapore.

Good to see you enjoying Stockholm. The Vasa Museum is definitely one of the many places in Stockholm not to be missed.
