3. The Vasa Museum: N 59 19.722 E 18 5.500
Vasa was commissioned by the Swedish king Gustav II Adolf in 1626 but lack of experience meant that the ship was built incorrectly. Already on its maiden voyage in 1628, the ship capsized after just 20 minutes of sailing and sank. After 333 years at the bottom of the sea, the ship was salvaged, and the unique art treasure can now be experienced at the Vasa Museum. 98 percent of the ship consists of original parts as well as hundreds of carved sculptures.
The building of the Vasa was one of Sweden's biggest failures, but is now one of the biggest tourist attractions.
