Skansen, Stockholm

The possibility of seeing so much of Sweden and what lives in the Swedish forests in a small, convenient place right in the middle of Stockholm? Awesome! To get to see how they did live and produce products in the past and be able to talk with them is really great; bakery, cooking, stores, smith shops, glass making, book binding, bread making, cloth making etc. That you can bring your own picnic can make for a picturesque time and photos with Stockholm skyline in the background. And don't forget the Fika!

One of the best open-air attractions in Stockholm! The level of preservation of the ancient houses is incredible! The zoo part of the park is great too, although not as good as its counterpart from other European cities. Worth visiting, but be ware to take the most comfortable sneakers available in your closet!

A beautiful and interesting museum. The animals and the buildings work perfectly together to create a highly enjoyable experience. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in Swedish building history, as well as those with an interest in Scandinavian wildlife. It is easy to spend 3-4 hours here, families will find lots of options of things to do.

It's nice to take a walk among the old houses up here, it's quite peaceful and you get a nice view of Stockholm in several directions. As a bonus there are Nordic animals dotted around the place. Just make sure not to visit during school holidays when the place can be frantically busy. Most of it is outdoors, so pick a rainfree day if at all possible. Minus one star due to the facilities being pretty worn, a refurbish would be in order.

The place is great but just for summers. The best Mid-summer festival that I have seen. A wide range of animals and places to see there. In contrast, during winter time, everything is dark and almost no animals to see, even for Christmas markets. I really don't know why they dont put more street light there. Anyway, if you want to experience the darkness of the 18 century or even earlier, yes, you can visit it during winters.
