Aga's Tales of Triumph and Tragedy: A MUST-DO - Spend the afternoon listening and learning from this lovely lady at the Vasa Museum today (picture shared with her consent). Aga, a storyteller at heart—or so one can assume—told us all about the great Gustav II Adolf and shared tales of ambition, pride, miscalculation, and moments when wanting too much can result in very little. In this case, an astonishing 1,300-meter maiden voyage followed by no less than 333 years on the ground of the Baltic Sea.

Magic visit to the Vasa Museum - The museum is very well organized and highlights the grandness of the ship. In the space surrounding the recreations of the environment of the time. You can take amazing photos and travel in time. The audio-guides, accessible on personal phones, are a fantastic option. There is a section for the smallest with ships made with lego and the opportunity to carry out activities. Pleasant coffee shop and pastry space, to finish.
