Af Chapman sailing ship was constructed by British people in 1888. At first it was used as a cargo-ship, and then sold to the Swedes. The Swedish Tourist Association turned the ship into a hostel in 1949, which makes it one of the oldest hostels in Stockholm. The hostel became even more popular among tourists and locals after its renovation in 2000. Wonderful view of the museum island, antique state cabins, kitchen and deck – isn’t it the most authentic accommodation ever? Those who are not prepared to live on the water for so long can choose another accommodation of the Swedish Tourist Association – a 19th century building on the shore.
