I was there 2 years ago as a tourist. Vasa museum is totally unique – definitely worthwhile, and you can get the hop-on-hop-off bus out there, saving the walk. The Nobel Museum is small but very worthwhile, and while you’re around Ridderholmen and the palace area, you can check out the changing of the guards, and the cool little streets around that area – I really liked that.
Vasa Museet is the bare minimum.
I am not a fan of modern art, but Stockholm is full of great examples. Some people claim that the subway is the world’s longest art exhibit. I appreciated Millesgården, including the tourist train to go there.
If you want to see the swedish interpretation of Versailles, Drottningholms slott outside Stockholm is worth a try.
Don’t forget everything Nobel related: Nobel museum in Gamla Stan and the City Hall, where the banquet takes place. If your grand parents feel good, let them climb the tower for the panoramic view over the town.
Stockholm? Skansen, Vasa museum and the historic inner city comes to mind. Was there in 2006 and there is a lot more to explore. As far as i remember there is also a castle near Skansen which was closed when i was there, and a Aquarium near Vasa museum, which was not that impressive.
This is higly depends on how long your grands can walk over the streets.
If you are limited with one day, I think you should start with Gamla Stan:
It is the center of Stockholm, beautiful at summer, and has many cafeterias and restaurants in it. Your grands will be amazed, I think. Also you can buy the bus tour for them, or water Hop-on-Hop-Off tour.
You can even mix it, if you have that much amount of money.
