Visiting Skansen Museum

We loved our time in Sweden this winter and I can absolutely say that Stockholm is one of my new favourite cities in Europe. We visited the city as part of a mystery roadtrip which my partner planned for me with my only clues being that I needed a suitcase full of winter clothes for ten days.

Heading north out of Munich, where my partner lives, we stopped along the way through Germany including the Eremitage Schlosspark in Bayreuth, the magical Duchess Anna Amalia Library in Weimar and then spent two nights in Lüneburg, a hidden gem of a city just an hour south of Hamburg. From there, we headed to the northern German coastline to catch a ferry across the border into Denmark and spent 24 hours in Copenhagen. After Copenhagen, it was time to cross the Øresund Bridge into Sweden where we spent our first night in Halmstad on the west coast. From Halmstad, we drove to the IKEA Museum, before reaching our final destination of Stockholm!

We had three gorgeous days in Stockholm over the New Year. Our first day was bright blue sunshine and then on New Year's Eve we had the best gift of all, a massive snowstorm to ring in 2025.

While in Stockholm, we spent our days exploring the streets, visiting museums, hanging out in cafes, ringing in the new year and finding the best photo spots in the city. Here is my guide to visiting the world's open-air museum at Skansen, documenting the history of Sweden in a fun and interactive way:
