Stockholm 2026 - Part 2

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.
