Sweden is often called the “Venice of the North”. Stockholm has a lot to offer the traveller.
Here are the 5 best things to do in Stockholm, Sweden; visit the ABBA Museum, shopping, go on free walking tour, Royal National City Park and see metro art.
Visit the ABBA Museum
Address: Djurgardsvagen 68, 115 21 Stockholm
The ABBA Museum’s 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.
Each room has a theme and you are transported through ABBA’s history with plenty of opportunities to do interactive activities. These activities include; singing in the recording studio, appearing in an 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. You also get a recording of your performance to download and watch later. I got on stage a number of times, a lot of fun. A must do activity!
