Perhaps you’ll venture to the Vasa Museum, the ABBA Museum, or the contemporary Fotografiska gallery.

Get settled in and explore this coastal city at your leisure, perhaps taking a stroll along the harbor.

See the fishing installations that line the banks and walk to a kota (wooden hut), where whitefish is grilled over an open fire.
