The place where Sweden's oldest city Birka once existed. Also called a viking city. Beautiful, rocky island in the lake Mälaren. Great views, good guidning.

Sweden's oldest town being rediscovered - overall a great experience. The museum is a bit sparse in content, not so the museum store. :-)

3000 graves behind that field. Great stories from a thousand years ago being told here

This was the first town in Sweden during the viking age. Nice.

Many unknown things about history of Birka. And not much remains (only some reconstructed houses)-you will need a lot of imagination.

Beautiful place but you don't really see much of archeology of Vikings
