Must-Sees from the Editors of
Travel + Leisure

Ekoparken
Right in the center of town, this 6,700-acre conservation tract is home to roe deer, owls, and foxes, as well as three royal residences—including Haga Palace, where current monarch Carl XVI Gustaf was born.

Skogskyrkogården
The UNESCO World Heritage site, also known as Woodland Cemetery, is one of Stockholm’s most surprising architectural landmarks. Amid rolling pine forests stand evocative memorials designed by two of Sweden’s most important Modernists, Sigurd Lewerentz and Gunnar Asplund.

Vasamuseet
The most popular museum in Sweden houses the Vasa, the world’s oldest known intact ship—built in 1628 with two gun decks, 64 cannons, and 700 ornate sculptures. Another exhibit uses forensic science to provide information about some of the 15 skeletons found near the ship.
