Compact, clean, and historic. These words describe my overall impression with Stockholm, a lovely city with Venice-like bridges and canals. We visited and recommend visiting: the Vasa Museum (which houses the 17th century warship Vasa, the oldest fully preserved ship in the world. It was built as the pride of the Swedish navy, but capsized a few minutes in on her maiden voyage); Royal Palace and the Royal Armory (your pass lasts for 30 days and you can even witness the changing of the guards show); Gamla Stan (Stockholm's historic old town with narrow cobbled streets and buildings dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries); take a public ferry boat ride between Vasa and Gama Stan.Here's a video of the Royal Changing of the Guards:
