We will be in Denmark and Sweden
We will definetly stop at Ribe Viking site as we want to see the town, it's on our route
Also definitely Vasa in Sweden
So what are the other best sites?
Foteviken? Birka?

I haven't been to Ribe.
As I understand it, Vasa was not a Viking ship. Vasa is stunning and well worthing seeing, IMO, but it was built in the 1600s, long after the Viking era, as least I understand it. The ships in the museum in Roskilde are actual Viking era ships, built about 1,000 years ago.
