ABBA Museum & Old Town

August 20th 2017

Today we are going to visit the ABBA Museum. This museum is an interactive exhibition located on the island of Djurgården in central Stockholm, dedicated to the history and music of the iconic Swedish pop group. Today we will take a boat taxi service to get to the museum.

My expectations of the ABBA museum were pretty low. However, my daughter, Pearl had enough enthusiasm for both of us. However, I did find it interesting to hear their story. We walked thorough time line of how they got started and followed their career. We were able to sing along, recreate an album cover and see all t he different costumes they wore. Even Wendell seemed to enjoy it.

Wendell returned to the ship and Pearl and I headed over to Old Town. I had downloaded the Rick Steves self guided walking tour of Old Town Stockholm to my phone, so we decided to take the tour. There is a Rick Steves Europe App you can get to have free access to these tours. Rick Steves offers self-guided walking tours of Stockholm, focusing on the historic Gamla Stan (Old Town) with its cobbled alleys, Stortorget Square, Royal Palace, and cathedral, plus a modern city walk. We had lunch on Stortorget Square and covered a lot of ground walking!

Tall Ship Hostel

We even got a nice view of our hostel from Old Town.
