Tips

If you have extra time, consider extending your stay in Stockholm by a day to explore the archipelago’s islands more deeply. To shorten the trip, you could skip the full day in Skansen and replace it with a quicker visit to the Vasa Museum, allowing an earlier departure to Stuttgart. Adjust the pace by adding or omitting the evening cruise in Stockholm and the afternoon visit to the Porsche Museum, depending on your energy level.
