Visit the ABBA Museum

Address: Djurgardsvagen 68, 115 21 Stockholm

The ABBA Museum will have you “Walking in, and dancing out”. It’s an entertaining, interactive experience for all ABBA fans young and old. The museum contains a priceless array of extraordinary ABBA memorabilia. Its one of the most popular tourist attractions.

Do you like interactive activities? There are plenty of opportunities to do them in the ABBA museum. These activities include; singing in the recording studio, appearing in very own ABBA video and the main attraction, performing on stage.

Feeling brave and want to be the 5th member of ABBA? You have a chance to sing and dance to an iconic ABBA song on stage. You also get a recording of your performance to download and watch later. I went on stage a number of times, a lot of fun. A must do activity!
