Stockholm's best tips for August 10: Family adventure at Vasaborgen and young female virtuosos

Stockholm offers a diverse range of activities for August 10, catering to families, art enthusiasts, and music lovers. Dagens Nyheter's curated calendar highlights events designed to engage various interests across the city.

Families can embark on an adventure at Vasaborgen in Mariefred, exploring its dungeons, winding passages, and cannons, complete with a viewing of a somewhat peculiar stuffed lion. The tours are specifically adapted for children aged 6-10 but are suitable for the entire family. For younger participants, an art session themed around love will take place at Ungas konstvägg near Björns Trädgård, where street artists and educators will guide participants aged 10-18. Art supplies and protective clothing will be provided.

Music enthusiasts can attend "Vivaldiana" at Confidencen, located in Ulriksdal's Palace Park. This concert celebrates the young female virtuosos who were part of Antonio Vivaldi's orchestra at the Il Pio Ospedale della Pietà, where many achieved significant prominence. The performance will showcase the talents of these accomplished young musicians.

Additionally, the Livrustkammaren (Royal Armoury) is hosting "Hatt couture," an exhibition featuring colorful hats from the 1900s to the present day. Visitors can admire creative headwear worn by Princess Christina and Princess Sofia, offering a glimpse into royal fashion.
