Welcome to Stockholm

Stockholm was the last stop on our Baltic cruise and it did not disappoint.  It is a beautiful city with great views and lots to see.  We visited the City Hall, which is where the Nobel Peace prizes are presented each year and which has some really interesting architecture.

The highlight was visiting the Museum of the fully salvaged ship(Vasa) that sunk on its maiden voyage after just a few hundred feet in the harbor.  They found a way to move it and then build a complete Museum around it.

The cruise ride in and out of Stockholm down a long channel was really beautiful and worth the day alone.

A great day.
