Experience the return of the Viking era. The island is once again packed with Viking craftsmen, merchants and activities.
The beautiful boats are tied up, and the smell of tar, smithies and campfires fill the air. Maybe you’d like to try one of the crafts for yourself, row a Viking boat, or throw a spear? The younger ones can also try painting their own shields or baking bread. During the morning trip from Stockholm with m/s Victoria all children are able to borrow Viking clothes and enjoy children’s activities.
Don’t miss the opportunity to meet our colourful characters from the Viking age. Let Snerrir, the “brave” warrior, Tora the bondswoman and Brynhilde the rich and vaintake you through their everyday life in the trading metropolis of Birka!
If you take our afternoon trip from Stockholm to Birka you are welcome to join us on a guided tour where the archaeologists tell us about their work and the reconstructions. They will share their experiences from working with tools as they were used in medieval times.
