- syrus vErnakulam District, India80 contributionsWonderful experience while watching the Stockholm old town. Very neatly and beautifully maintained with lots of shops and restaurants where we got number of mementos and gift items at affordable price. There was a parade of changing the duties of guards which was awesomeWritten 5 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sebas MBuenos Aires, Argentina118 contributionsIt is definitely a place you should visit if you like walking around; there are lots of paths and sights around it. It is also located in the same island as Skansen and many of the museums, so if you are going to visit those, I suggest adding extra time to walk around here. It's worth itWritten 1 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nalini NGreater Sydney, Australia525 contributionsYou are spoilt for choices of museums in Stockholm! Skansen is a great one for walking around and we had a beautiful sunny day for this with tulips in full bloom. I loved the little buildings dismantled from original settings and transported to current location - bakery (which bakes), book binder, glass blowing ll were good sights to behold as was the church which stood out from it's location. A peaceful place for solo or walks with family and friends.Written 7 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sebas MBuenos Aires, Argentina118 contributionsIt is a location you should really visit while in Stockholm - it's not that far from Gamla Stan / Royal Palace. Not only for the building and the area around it themselves, but because you can get a beautiful view of the city from here. The only detail you might have to be careful is that it is an active building, so depending on the day you go, there might be a lot of weddings taking place. Fortunately the area is vast, so I don't think it can be all that crowded.Written 1 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AdvisorKingVancouver, B.C.147 contributionsMy wife and I visited the ABBA museum while in Stockholm for a month. We booked the tickets on-line earlier in the day, paying 600 SEK for two entries and one audio guide. Our tickets were for a Friday at 4pm. We arrived and there was no line. We walked right up to the host, who gave us the code for the audio guide and directed us to the entrance. It couldn’t have been simpler. The staff were very friendly. The audio guide was essentially a podcast that played off our smartphone. This was far simpler and more convenient than a stand-alone, bulky headset system.
The museum contains a lot of information and memorabilia from the band, including some fun interactive exhibits and numerous videos. Ultimately, our visit lasted about an hour and three quarters.
The audio guide was informative, but it didn’t seem to add much to the information that was already posted (including in English) around the various displays. The audio guide mostly consisted of members of the band telling their story, often with music in the background. At the same time, we would be standing in front of an exhibit, reading the description, while often there was additional audio playing in the background. It was a lot to digest, with essentially three audio tracks playing over each other, plus attempting to read the posted information.
I also found the exhibits were somewhat non-linear (and not in a good way). Rather than progressing through the band’s career sequentially by album, the museum contained various exhibits (e.g., the recording studio, the “Arrival” helicopter, a hall devoted to costumes, a wall with their gold records) and told stories around them. I was expecting a bit more of a start-to-finish story.
The museum could benefit from more space, but it wasn’t crowded when we were there. It just could have been a bit more spread out. For a band of ABBA’s stature, it did seem a bit like we were visiting a fabulous display in someone’s over-sized basement.
Overall, it was fun and I would recommend it to someone who is remotely a fan of the band. But it isn’t somewhere I would visit a second time.Written 9 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sebas MBuenos Aires, Argentina118 contributionsDefinitely a place you should visit if you are in Gothenburg, and particularly to the Håberget Viewpoint - it is a bit steep and some part is between rocks, at least in the path I took, so be aware. All the gardens and the locations are very nice and pretty. There are moments where you can forget you are close to a city, given how quiet it can get.Written 8 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Barbs25Staffordshire, UK2,536 contributionsFirstly get the ‘to go’ app to make life super easy. This is for all transport so shows how to get everywhere on all trams/ buses/ ferries. You can also buy tickets here. The islands and city are all in zone A so if you’re hopping around it’s good value to get the day pass.
From the city it’s tram 11 to Saltholmen (about 30 mins) then walk 2 mins to the ferry terminal. (Uber is about £15 from centre to terminal if you prefer and takes 15-20 mins)
The woman in the ticket office was so helpful, giving us a map and schedule for the day to make it easier for us.
The ferry was right on time, I really do love the Swedish efficiency! It took around 20 minutes to get to Donsö.
With the time we had, we stopped at Donsö first and walked around the island including the walking path around the coast. It’s only a small island so then walked over the bridge to Styrso. Again a small place, but really pretty houses and chilled atmosphere. Nothing was open for us (cafe etc) as it’s still the off season but we enjoyed the walk around.
Ended up in total spending maybe 2 hours walking around and we did enjoy it however I think you would get more out of it in the summer when you could spend all day hopping on/off the ferry to all the islands. Most have swimming spots too and the cafe will be open! (Not all islands have cafes so bring food with you)Written 28 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Probably the best part is that it is not a museum, but that they still use it for functions.
2 hours is plenty of time to visit.Written 22 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BoroukeeDublin, Ireland199 contributionsMy husband and I came here as 2 adults without children and it was the best day. There are loads of rollercoasters and different rides to chose from. The first one atmosFEAR was great fun but watch out if you’ve a delicate back! But my favourite part was the old fashioned games like ring on a bottle, shooting water to make cars race, knock a duck over etc. reminds me of when the fair came to town as a kid. We loved the win giant chocolate bars and we were lucky enough to win the giant bag of crisps. Loads of food and drink places to chose from and teasingly priced. We’ve been to Disney Paris and Liseberg is way better, more soul and atmosphere and better games/rides. 100% recommend coming here if I’m GothenburgWritten 23 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AnnaN732013Stockholm, Sweden279 contributionsCame here with my boyfriend and his family, and it was the perfect way to show Stockholm. The views are amazing. Especially this time of year, with all the lilacs and trees blooming, and the sun setting over the water..magical.Written 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- philip949Higher Kinnerton, UK369 contributionsWe were impressed with the scope and quality of the food on offer. The building appears to be recently renovated and has a welcoming atmosphere. It didn't appear that many people were buying and possibly, like us, were there just to have a look around.
It's well worth a visit if you have free time in Stockholm.Written 25 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
