Rinkeby for a true viking experience, free brawls and cultural experiences. Maybe bring some FFP3, corona runs rampant in Swe atm. Jokes aside, Stockholm is a pretty okay Viking experience.

viking tour, i guess that means going to the viking city ruins at Birka (there's a ferry that takes about 2 hours to get to the island), there's the royal castle and the old town nearby, and then there's the djurgården area of stockholm with a zoo, amusement park, park, a few different museums (the vasa ship museum, the nordic museum and others)

Not Viking related but if in Stockholm you should (As Reavor mentioned) absolutely go to....

Birka is cool but wasted if you do not go on the guided tour since there aren't any ruins per say, mostly just grave hills and left over earthworks. The guides are engaging and fun though and fill in all the holes. Just the trip over can be fun on its own if the weather is nice as well. It is 2 hours one way though if you take the one that goes from Stockholm so bring a friend.
Would you want to explore outside Stockholm as well? Are you renting a car or sticking with public transports?
As a good to know, there is a travel ban currently on non schengen/eu citizens. This is in effect until June 15th. It is not impossible this could be extended by an additional 30 days (They've done this once already).
Welcome to the Vasa Museum
Welcome to one of the most visited museums in Scandinavia and explore the world's only preserved 17th century ship. The ship Vasa capsized and sank in 1628. After 333 years on the sea bed she was salvaged and the voyage could continue.

I can rent a car or use public transport. I'd rather use the public. I'm really down to go anywhere because it's a cheap ass vacation.Not Viking related but if in Stockholm you should (As Reavor mentioned) absolutely go to....
