Overview

Experience the Viking Age with a memorable boat trip to Birka, Sweden’s first known town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your ticket includes a round‑trip cruise to Björkö, entry to the Birka Museum, and a guided tour through the archaeological fields where Vikings once lived, traded and travelled.

Founded in the 750s on Lake Mälaren, Birka is one of Sweden’s most important historical sites, offering well‑preserved traces of life from over a thousand years ago. Daily guided tours in Swedish and English bring the Viking era to life with stories about trade routes, craftsmanship and everyday life.

The journey begins aboard M/S Mälar Victoria from Stockholm, with beautiful views and a café serving snacks, drinks and classic Swedish fika. On the island, Restaurant Särimner offers meals inspired by Viking heritage.

A visit to Birka combines history, nature and culture, making it one of the most fascinating day trips from Stockholm.
