In a former bus depot near the Viking Line terminal, Stockholm's charmingly old-school
transport museum is an atmospheric spot to spend a rainy afternoon. An impressive collec-
tion of around 40 vehicles includes several very pretty antique horse-drawn carriages, vin-
tage trams and buses, and a retro tunnelbana carriage (complete with original advertise-
ments). Kids can play tunnelbana driver (there's video from the driver's seat). Displays
about the construction of the tunnelbana system starting in 1933 are pretty mind-blowing.
The museum shares a space and entrance with
Leksaksmuseet
(one admission covers
both).

Sharing an entrance with
Spårvägsmuseet
, the Toy Museum is packed with everything you
probably ever wanted as a child (and may still be hankering for as an adult). If anybody in
your family just happens to be crazy about model trains, model aeroplanes, toy soldiers,
toy robots, Barbie dolls or stuffed animals, don't miss it.
Suburbs
It's well worth venturing beyond the city centre. In the surrounding suburbs you'll find
some of Stockholm's most inviting attractions, from museums to parks to castles and even
a cemetery. Thanks to a smooth-as-butter transit system, all of these places are easy to
reach.
