This Maritime museum was awarded the Certificate of Excellence 2015 by trip advisor, which is no surprise considering how it offers the chance to experience life at sea without even having to leave the quayside. It might seem strange to step onto a ship but not be journeying anywhere, but with these incredibly authentic armada of 15 museum vessels such as barges, submarines and cargo ships, you wouldn’t even know the difference. Venture down below to the underwater submarine, HMS Nordkaparen, and get an idea of just how unique a feeling being submerged in the depths of the ocean is, and even have the rare opportunity to look through an ingeniously-designed periscope which allows you to see the world above. Investigate the formidable destroyer, Jagaren Småland, the current title holder for largest warship in Scandinavia.

Learn through 11 experiment stations at the Ocean Lab, a stimulating exhibit for those of all ages that will leave you with a head stuffed full of new and interesting fun facts which you can share with your friends. Visit the quirky goggle-wearing guide, Virvelina, whose energetic and engaging knot-tying lessons, treasure hunts and tales of maritime historical adventures will enthrall all the kids. There’s also an on site Cafe Matrosen, which serves yummy traditional Swedish style waffles and much more, so what are you waiting for? Climb on board!
