Exploring Stockholm
Friday - August 21st 2026
Our first full day in Stockholm started with breakfast at the fantastic
buffet. Then it was time to head out into the city. Since we had a timed
ticket for the ABBA Museum, we decided to take a walk through the city towards
the harbour and from there we strolled along the waterfront to the museum. We
still had plenty of time until our entry and so it was quite a relaxing walk
to enjoy this beautiful city. Near the museum we came across a lovely coffee
house and so we all got a drink and enjoyed the nice weather sitting outside.

Now it was finally for our time slot and so we headed to the museum. There we
still had to wait a couple minutes while it started to rain, but soon we were
inside the museum. Although we didn't grow up with ABBA, we still like their
music.
The ABBA Museum
wasn't very big, however my parents enjoyed our time there a lot. After we
bought some souvenirs at the shop, we stopped at a nearby restaurant for a
quick lunch.

Luckily the rain stopped and so we decided to visit
Skansen, the oldest open air museum in Sweden right next to Gröna Lund and the ABBA
Museum. The highlights of Skansen are the replica of an average 19th century
Swedish village as well as the funicular and the zoo. Unfortunately the rain
returned, that's why we ordered a Bolt taxi and drove back to the
Radisson Blu, where we got a couple of drinks at the
Hard Rock Cafe
opposite our hotel.

After we got ready for the evening, we took another Bolt taxi across town to
get dinner at
Meatballs for the People. My parents wanted to try traditional Swedish meatballs and so Claudia found
this cool restaurant that also had plant-based meatballs on the menu. The
restaurant was pretty popular and so we had to wait a little until we got a
table, but it was worth the wait, because the food was really good. Afterwards
we walked via Gamla Stan back to the hotel to get a couple of drinks at the
roof top bar.
