The End of the Vikings stops here! - Find a parking spot and walk everywhere! My family and I started at the museum and spent about 1 hr. there. From there we walked down to the waterfront and had some lunch. A nice stroll along the water in the park. It was a nice day and many families were outdoors getting some sun and fresh air. Then we went to the ruins of the churches. Very interesting. You can do the ruins in about 1 hr. At the end of the adventure we walked through the old street and shopped. A nice time for an ice cream/"glass". Wear good walking shoes. Public restrooms are down by the waterfront, so make sure to plan accordingly. Sigtuna is easily accessible via some secondary roads. Be careful as large tour buses come up and down these streets.
