Skansen is an absolutely wonderful place. The ideal place to discover history, tradition and folklore. You can admire the houses of the past, perfectly integrated into the context. Each building has plants typical of the farms and the nature of their time.
In each building there are characters in authentic clothes that tell you what life was like in Sweden in ancient times. How once we worked, the tools and utensils used.
THE SKANSEN ZOO
Horses of the Norwegian fjords and ponies, loved by children. The lynx. The beautiful moose and reindeer. Seals, otters, wolves, bison. The brown bear, the largest Swedish predator. And many rare breeds of historical interest.
