Next to the ArkDes and Moderna Museet, the East Asian Museum (Östasiatiska museet). Filled with artifacts from the Far East the museum overlooks the Stockholm harbor and the Royal Palace and is a popular destination for Stockholmers and tourists alike.
The old ships like the 19th century af Chapman sailing ship berthed on the southern shore and the small castle on Kasttelholm islet connected to the adjacent Skeppsholmen through the Kastellholmsbron bridge are a charming background for a beautiful stroll with good views of the city across the water. Peaceful & close to Gamla Stan this little island will be one of your favorites in Stockholm.
