Skansen is a beautiful place to watch old traditional Swedish houses, but unfortunately, it has also become a zoo during the years.\u00a0The only reason why we include Skansen in this list of popular things to do in Stockholm is to inform you about how wrong it is towards the animals.\u00a0Animals are meant to live in the wild, not in captivity.<\/p>\n Please, do not support attractions that involve animals while traveling the world.<\/p>\n The Old Town of Stockholm is one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved city centers, and it is also one of the most popular things to do in Stockholm.
