Skansen is an open-air museum that represent the old Swedish way of life (before the industrial age). There is also a small zoo of Scandinavian animals.

Although if you want a ';real'; zoo, you will need to travel a few hours to the west to Kolm氓rden.





Gamla Stan (Old Town) dates to the 13th century, and has many interesting shops and caf茅s. It is worth exploring for the architecture and art. Also worth visiting is the Nobel Museum at Stortorget there. Nearby is the Royal Palace, and in Norrmalm, at Gustav Adolfs torg is the National Opera.

Vasa Museum is a reconstructed warship from the 17th century that sunk off the coast.

For art museums, there is the National Museum at Kungstr盲g氓rden, and the Modern Art museum at Skeppsholmen (very near to each other).





The Natural History Museum has a planetarium/IMAX cinema.

Check Stockholm's Globe Arena for sports matches and concerts.

Caf茅 Opera is one of the most famous clubs in Stockholm. Dress code is very nice, and it is rather expensive:

I prefer Glenn Miller Caf茅, Mosebacke or Fasching, for Swedish jazz.

The archipelago isn't as nice in winter, but still maybe worth a visit:

I can't post more links, but other places to consider:


Drottningholm Palace, Haga Park (near Solna), subway stations (they are all decorated differently, some of them very nice), the observatory. Ferry trips to Finland, Estonia and Latvia are very inexpensive (check with a local travel agency when you are there), and can be a nice way to see other countries, if your visa allows it.I get a chance to visit Stockholm for one month(Feb2009) Pls advice me which site must visited during month?
A month is a long time, so try to get to all the museums like the Vasa ship, the royal palace, the ABBA museum (all in the downtown area). But also try to get away and see some other things since the rest of scandinavia is also beautiful in the winter. You can take a weekend boat trip to helsinki. Or you can go skiing in 脜re (there is a train you can sleep on to get you there, so you don't lose any time)
I just hung out in old town when I was there. But there is this island where they have a collection of old houses from all over Sweden. It is worth seeing (I forgot the name). And see the restored wreck of the Vasa warship.





===edit===


';Skansen'; is the first open air museum and zoo in Sweden and is located on the island Djurg氓rden in Stockholm, Sweden. It was founded in 1891 by Artur Hazelius (1833-1901) to show the way of life in the different parts of Sweden before the industrial era....
Stockholm is amazing.


I love Sweden and I have very close family that live in Linkoping (sp)?





I would really visit Pipi Long Stocking Land if I was you.


It is so unique and one of a kind, I have never been anywhere like it.


It will really make you feel like a kid again!





Sweden is beautiful.
