Stockholm Itinerary suggestions

Skansen is large and takes a little time to get to. I very much enjoyed the Nordic Museum as well as the Vasa Museum.

Check that your planned visit to the Vasa does not coincide with a cruise ship arriving in port, because if it does there will be massive queues through the morning. Faced with lines around the building, I changed my plans and visited Skansen first then returned to Vasa after lunch and found it very quiet.

Thanks chani and Jane for your suggestions. Will consider your inputs.

The Royal Palace...yawn. As for the Nobel Museum....I regret going there.

For your transport, you may want to get a SL Access card and load your 24 hr pass on it. Here is information on some of the locations where you can do this (including T-Centralen) https://sl.se/en/fares--tickets/
We bought ours at the airport and just loaded money on it (for us it was more cost effective). We added money as needed to our card at various locations (7-11, Nybroplan bus stop, etc.). It might make a difference where you are staying. In addition, I had the SL app on my phone and used it to purchase single tickets just before leaving the hotel, for our final ride to the train station - it was easy.

For budget food, we had breakfast included at our hotel and found plenty of places for an inexpensive sandwich (or cake) and coffee for lunch - max $10/each. Then we spent $30-$40 each for dinner, which included food and something to drink. So we could have spent less by skipping beer or wine.

We also really enjoyed Skansen and the Vasa and the Nordic Museums, which are all very close, but you won’t have time to visit them all on the same day.

Enjoy!

hi nathan,

all the restaurants on my map are vegetarian or vegetarian friendly (it's for our upcoming family trip to stockholm, it's a hodge podge of places for kids, shops, museums, etc.). https://goo.gl/maps/5bKgEwuVJuP2

i can't vouch for them as i haven't been yet, but all came recommended from one trusted source or another!

Thanks Bruce, Travelmom and mom2eandb for suggestions.

If you are walking Monteliusvägen, then you might want to go to Falafelbaren for dinner. There is not much seating but is a nice neighborhood park down the street if you can't get seating out front. This was directly across from my hotel and was excellent and reasonably priced. It's just a walk down the hill from the path a few blocks to Hornsgatan when near the opposite end from Slussen.

I really liked Skansen.
