The 10 Best Viking History Day Trips from Stockholm

10 reviewed

Sigtuna is the oldest town in Sweden and the rune stones around it still stand where they were raised. These 10 day trips cover the Viking country north of the capital: which reach Uppsala as well, which keep groups small, how long each takes, and what a fika stop adds to the price.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 667 reviews · 1 day · from $22Our pick

Meet Vikings at Stockholm’s interactive museum, then ride Ragnfrid's Saga. Guided tours, audio guide, and a seaside lunch at Eld.

“the museum is relatively small compared to some of the others, but definitely worth a visit. I'd highly recommend the tour too (English was at 1030am or 1230pm - there is a 3rd time but I cant remember it). the tour guide is doing a masters in archaeology and has amazing knowledge of the history of the culture and migration art habits. the ticket says 10am entry but I asked the staff at the museum and she said it could be used at any time (as my friend bought a 10am ticket but didn't join me until 12).”

A guided Viking and medieval history day trip from Stockholm, visiting runestones, Sigtuna, and Uppsala with countryside stops.

“Guide was right on time to pick us up at the hotel. He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It would have been more pleasant if he had turned on some heat in the van. It was 50-55 degrees throughout the cloudy day with some cold wind so a warm van would have made it more comfortable. Overall a good experience otherwise.”
