The Viking Museum

Great museum. A lot of exhibits accompanied by a lot of information. The audio guide was also really good. The ride at the end was unexpected but amazing. The staff were also super friendly. I unfortunately did not get the name of the gentleman at the ticket booth but he was incredibly kind and funny! There is also a restaurant at the museum which looked quite fancy.

Went here the same day as the VASA and were truly blown away by both. There is a restaurant upstairs but we did not eat there. The exhibits and staff are absolutely wonderful, recommend to do the ride at the end as well. It was such a great experience and we learned a lot!

It is a pleasure to share that this museum is an excellent place to learn about and appreciate the Nordic lifestyle. Even with limited time, we found the tour to be quite enjoyable. Furthermore, an English-speaking guide is available at scheduled times to lead groups through this remarkable museum.

The Viking Museum is a good visit when in Stockholm, although I don’t know how it stacks up against Viking museums in Denmark 🇩🇰 or Norway 🇳🇴. The museum was insightful and the audio guide at the beginning was a great touch. The museum is rather small, but does provide a lot of good information and different artifacts. The Longboat on display was great to see. I completely missed the exhibit that is downstairs, this wasn’t indicated very well hence missing it. The guided tour experience could be improved by narrating whilst walking around the museum to visually describe what you are seeing.

This was a worthwhile experience. We have travelled through Norway, Denmark and finally here to Sweden we have seen many exhibitions on the “Vikings”. We learned even more here. We did the storytelling mead tasting which was a lot of fun and we have learned which meads we wish to have more of. The restaurant food was very good The staff were very helpful and there are several wandering around in authentic dress you can ask any questions. Jessica especially was full of information, passionate and a good storyteller. The ride was an excellent way to bring together what was a “Viking” like within a relatable story There was more about women and their the lives too.

The Viking Museum in Stockholm is a fantastic experience that exceeded all my expectations! It offers the perfect mix of history, storytelling, and interactive elements, making it engaging for both adults and children. The exhibits are beautifully presented, with fascinating artifacts and detailed explanations that bring the Viking era to life in a vivid and accessible way. What really stood out to me was the storytelling — the museum doesn’t just show you objects, it immerses you in the lives, adventures, and culture of the Vikings. One of the highlights for me was the immersive ride that takes you on a journey through a Viking’s life. It’s both educational and entertaining, and done with great attention to detail. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to answer questions and share more fascinating insights about this incredible period of history. The atmosphere is lively, well thought out, and gives you a great sense of what life might have been like over a thousand years ago. If you’re in Stockholm and want a fun cultural experience that also deepens your knowledge, the Viking Museum is an absolute must-visit.

I bought the ticket on the spot. When I arrived, a guy dressed in a viking-age outfit was finishing explaining about those ages to a group. I liked it, it is interesting, it explains many things, and there are guys in costume ready to explain you more. There is also a "story-ride", very well-made. At the end there is a small shop area and the typical swedish restaurant. I bought a Loki card (my fave 😜) and a copy of one of the first viking coins. The shopguy explained me about that coin, thing I appreciated. Then I had lunch at the restaurant (typical meat balls dish, and oysters). Oysters were perfect! Very soft and no "sea" taste or smell. Just perfect!!

We enjoyed the museum about Vikings and their life. Museum is very informative with free guided tour. Warn you: take the chair and sit and listen to the guide because it is for 25 min. Museum also has a corner with props to dress up in, it has a small ride and most importantly a nice game on Rune’s for kids. It makes the kids hunt for clues. I like interactive museums and this one surely hit the spot.

A fascinating and richly detailed museum that is well worth a visit. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely return to explore it in more detail.

Beautiful, informative museum. Not too many artifacts, but overall a great look into Viking life. The ride on the first floor was fun and told the tale of family. I never knew Vikings had slaves! Great for kids.

The museum is small but informative. I went to the viking story ride on the first floor which entails being put in a car and driving through several displays of a viking adventure which I was a big fan of. The second floor gave me some insight of what a true viking was. I only wish that the museum was bigger and it had more artifacts.
