RED Sightseeing Stockholm bus & boat + ABBA The Museum

Thank you for the music and the joy you're bringing

If you were at least somewhat of a fan going in, you'd be a major one going out!! This museum covered everything you could possibly want to know about the hugely popular and successful '70s band ABBA. Right from the members' genesis (both pre- and post-meet) to their touring and future endeavours post-heyday. The augmented reality experience with holograms of the four members really delighted my daughters (ages 11 and 15), so they could sing right along to Mama Mia on stage :-) The curation of exhibits was so intricate, including the walls and cabinets full of albums and props from past concerts. You really got a sense for the wild '70s fashions of pop stars! Hugely recommend going and buying tickets in advance, you will be very pleased!!

Fun experience

If you are a fan then you should definitely go. The costumes were a big highlight and the props from Mamma Mia are fun too. You’ll be singing ABBA for days

Fun visit if you have the time

A lot of fun, a good romp down memory lane.

Worth visiting!

As a fan of ABBA I wanted to visit the museum - even though I’ve seen every TV/bio on the group it was very interesting! Entry is slot/time booked only & it gets crowded! Only an hour to two hours needed. A little pricey for what you see but worth a visit.

Must see for any Abba fan

Really fun and interesting museum, amazing to see the huge wall of silver, gold and platinum discs. Great display of costumes and artifacts, fun activities like singing and mixing sound. Very nice bar attached as well.

Wonderful museum, but very crowded

I was actually surprised at just how well-done this museum was. Excellent and thoughtful design. Lots of fun interactive bits, many stands set up that you can place your phone on for photo ops. It was a bit expensive, but I can't blame them with how much demand there was. Long lines to get into this very crowded museum. I'll also just say, as an annoying American, I think this museum would have been more fun in America. We would have all been laughing, goofing, dancing, singing together, and hyping each other up. The middle-aged Europeans standing and coldly staring at the people singing karaoke was surreally awkward. But that's okay I still had fun!

Fun fun fun.

Went for our daughter’s 17th birthday. It was fun and entertaining. Take your own ear phones as you can do your own audio tour with your mobile and earphones. The karaoke and dancing this was fun! Only turn up once it’s your time slot as they do not let you in before.

Childhood dream come true

My very first album was “ABBA Arrival” as an 8 year old Australian girl in 1976, so to visit the museum was like a childhood dream come true. It takes about an hour and was fun and interactive. I booked online whilst in the queue for the next session starting in 30 minutes and had a beer at the cafe whilst we waited. Easy to get to on either the tram or ferry.

fun and interesting

Everything was perfectly on theme and even the bathrooms respect it. It’s a really fun museum, a lot of interactive activities, totally would recommend! Even though the shop is in my opinion pretty over priced.

Sing, dance and take it all in

An amazing happy museum experience. We sang, we danced, we listened and watched. The personal stories of the members of the band over time and all of their fabulous costumes. Interactive and engaging. Grab the audio tour for the full experience.

A must for Abba fans

We spent a few hours in this museum as Abba fans. It was interesting and lots to do and see. Easy to reach via a quick ferry ride from Gamla Stan

Amazing experience

We bought our tickets before we got here and I definitely recommend doing that. Lots of things to watch, take part in, and just look at. You can take it at your own pace. Signs were in both English and Swedish and it wasn't too busy. It was clean (including the bathrooms), staff were helpful, and the overall atmosphere was amazing.

If you're a fan, you'll love this

We spent a few days in Stockholm and I really wanted to see this. I grew up in the 70s-80s and was a big fan of ABBA songs. This museum is big and has a TON of history, background, videos, interactive exhibits, memorabilia, photo ops, karaoke booths, on stage opportunities and much more. Everyone enjoyed it.

A fun-filled visit

Although I’m not a super fan, I think it’s difficult to find anyone who doesn’t like ABBA and can’t easily name at least 10 songs. I very much enjoyed the visit to this museum. We booked ahead to secure a morning time slot and spent 2-3 hours at the museum. There is a nice balance between background information to tracking the history of the band as well as interactive elements. My own slight criticism would be that the film at the start of the exhibit means everyone enters the first section at the same time, making it quite congested. It soon became less crowded but it’s worth mentioning.

Book ahead

Enjoyable experience for our group of non museum goers. Interesting and interactive. Bought tickets just before leaving home. This was lucky as there were plenty of tickets then, but none all day until 5pm for people buying at the museum by the time we arrived. Was crowded inside, but overall still enjoyable

For old and new ABBA fans

You can easily feel here how iconic is ABBA fo the Swedish pop culture. Well done museum and objectively interesting, may not be exactly my type of museum but still worth seeing.

A fun interactive museum

Very popular visitor attraction in Stockholm and it’s easy to see why. Very interactive, fun and informative. Advise book in advance as we know folk who turned up and it was full that day.

Great day out

This is a really fun experience. Lots to see and do including karaoke, the costumes of ABBA and the story behind the band . Only let down by how busy it was inside . Felt we were crammed in and had to queue whole way round . Kids loved it though and lots of fun , interactive things to do.

Fun interactive experience

This is a must attend if you like ABBA. Really tells you the story of this band and the music. Super interactive. Fun way to spend 1 to 3 hours while you’re in Stockholm. It’s also a lovely area so you can walk around the vicinity.

Thank you for you ABBA

Beautifully curated and all senses were awoken throughout the experience.

So much FUN.

Book on line for early tickets to beat the cruise tours. This is such a fun place for all lovers of pop music; informative about the genesis of ABBA, how they mixed the music and lots of original memorabilia. Great interviews with the members but also the costume designers and backing musicians were not forgotten. The silent disco is a must where you can “dance with your honey”, the karaoke area should have better soundproofing 😀

Afternoon Visit to Abba Museum

Afternoon visit to Abba Museum came on weekday to visit museum overall a interesting experience showing all kinds of items from Abba - If you are a fan of Abba you will enjoy this while visiting Stockholm

If this was your era then definitely worth a visit

Located in Djurgarden with all the other main museums. I visited with my eight year old son, at his request. A great nostalgic experience if you were born in the early 70s like myself. A great insight into the vision and passion of the band as well as some amazing exhibit pieces such as the famous Malmberg Star guitar from Waterloo and the helicopter from the Arrival album colour. Fantastic fashion pieces across the years as well. The whole thing can be done in an hour but I am sure the true fans stay much longer.

Excelllllllllent

We loved the interactive experience and the music❤️❤️❤️

Mama Mia! Great Museum

I actually went to this museum in March 2019. I have to say even after all these years I'd love to go back. I had no idea ABBA released that many albums. The whole experience was excellent and well done. You can even sing with a hologram of the group! It wasn't, too crowded as I recall. The staff was excellent. I hope one day I can return.

Avoid the days the cruise ship comes in

For ABBA and music fans, lovely place, lots to see and do. If you are not a fan of either, perhaps not worth your time. Gets very crowded on days the cruise ship comes in, so much better on the other days! Maybe you can check the schedule.

Very good

Great if you are an Abba fan. Interesting background to the group. Lots to see.

Worth the trip!

Such a great experience! So many amazing things to look at and find interactive experiences. Well organized and affordable! Great gift shop and restaurant!

Excellent, and very interactive.

Excellent visit, lots to see and very informative and interactive, so much to see and a great way to spend an hour or more.

Did not disappoint!

If you're an Abba fan, you must visit this place!

The best museum I've ever visited!

The Abba Museum didn't exist last time I was in Stockholm so - as a massive Abba fan - this time it was top of my list and didn't disappoint! Do get your tickets online as there's only one price that shows on the website but turning up at the entrance the cost was higher. No problem as we just nipped outside, booked online then returned inside with our tickets! We stored our coats and bags in a free locker than headed to the first room which told the story of how Abba Voyage the album and stage show came into being. Other rooms contained info on the early life of each band member and how they came to form Abba, a replica recording studio with original mixing desk, mock up of a dressing room, continual film showing their 1974 Eurovision win, small cinema showing Abba as cartoon characters and their Eurovision experience, displays of original costumes, gold discs and all their albums and singles. Plus dressing up opportunities, chance to sit in the Arrival helicopter, selfies on the sets of Mamma Mia, test your Abba knowledge with quiz machines, sing along in a sound booth, sit on the famous park bench, dance on stage with holograms of Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn and Anni-Frid (choose from Dancing Queen or Mamma Mia) and a silent disco. Absolutely loved it all! Tripadvisor recommend a visit length of 1-2 hours. I was there 3 hours and could have stayed longer! An absolute must for any Abba fans! The best 'museum' I've ever visited! Don't miss it!

Super cool!

Very cool experience, even if you don’t follow the band prolifically this museum is still extremely interesting. It’s a must see in Stockholm!

A blast from the past

A real blast from the past, with a lot of background information, many of their costumes on display and some nice interaction options for the younger ones.

Good for fans

A fun experience if you're an Abba fan but I think I expected more of a wow factor. Interesting to read about their early lives and hear some interviews. Would have liked more film of actual concerts with complete songs not snippets

Must see for abba fans

My wife is a huge abba fan so this was a must for her , she had a great time walking through the museum singing along to the background music , very informative about the bad from the early days through their careers, Lots of costumes and award line the rooms You can experience interactive singing with them which I had to drag her off or she would have been there all day Definitely worth a visit

For the fans

If you are a fan of ABBA, it is definitely a must visit as you get to see a lot of items including their clothes, photos, records, and many more. You can wear those dresses, be part of their band virtually, sing karoke etc. The ticket though is on the higher side.

Fabulous

I admit I do love ABBA’s music. Very nicely presented history pre and post ABBA. Music interludes were spot on. Agree that the shop is pricey but this IS ABBA. If you have travelled to Stockholm, it has to be done!!!

Must visit

A tremendous 2.5 hours here, would highly recommend, tastefully done and so interesting and fun. Shame stock gaps meant we didn't pick up the t-shirt gifts we wanted to buy, minor issue Lovely lunch next door but one

Fun times

A really fun day. Lots of great retro decor and a very positive vibe. People were super happy to help me by taking photos when I needed as i was on my own. A couple of activities were not working well but it didn't ruin the day. The silent disco headphones were set at an unsafe volume and the instructions as to how to turn it down made no sense and also didn't work so that activity needs adjustment. Other than that...a very fun visit.!

Great experience

I wasn’t keen on going but the rain made it a day of museums to see. We arrived ahead of our booked tome but were allowed to enter. Lots of things to see and experience, and lots of happy ABBA fans made the atmosphere very enjoyable. We were lucky as it was not busy. Gerry from Slussen made it an easy journey

Not to be missed if you area ABBA fan. .. NOT a tourist trap.

If you like ABBA don't miss this when in Stockholm .. not a tourist trap It's a very comprehensive history of the group with a full time line of the developments and their evolution. Lots of ABBA facts and documentation .. information and video on the World tours .. plus a large display of the performance outfits thru their career .. and as you would suspect .. a wall of record awards. Information on how the ABBA Voyage was produced in London and how the ABBA arena was constructed in the West End for the show .... which is a MUST SEE (book early)

ABBA Nostalgia at its best!

Loved this place! Well done, great exhibits, fun, loved the interactive aspects

Great visit

We really enjoyed the ABBA tour. It's self guided and a lot of interesting information. Very talented people and great harmonies. I loved the music.

Great day out

Brilliant experience even if your not an ABBA fan great couple of hours out the silent disco and on stage experience with the band is great

ABBA fans it’s a must!

A must do if you are a ABBA fan! It made us laugh and the interactive experience was good. Lots of history about the band and scenes set up with old stage costumes. A couple of moans 1st being as you are paying full price for your ticket you expect everything in working order when we went there was at least 4 interactive areas that wasn’t working! Also the museum itself is very small for an iconic band,we got round in in about an hour!

ABBA The Museum Stockholm, Sweden

If you are a fan of ABBA, it is great to take the ABBA Museum experience. It lets you relive ABBA’s performances, see their iconic stage costumes, explore their concert history, albums, and much more. It is a fun and interactive museum that brings their music and legacy to life in an engaging way. You can learn about the band’s journey, take part in interactive exhibits, and really immerse yourself in their world. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit it when you are in Stockholm, especially if you love their music.

Must Visit

I do respect ABBA as something great, but never been a front-row fan. This museum moved me a lot and frankly speaking - it is a must-visit. The bonus for me was a presentation of Owe Sandstrom, the designer of ABBA costumes. I wish, this presentation were experienced by every product designer. Walked in, danced out...

You come out with ABBA songs in your head

Really good museum, worth the money, it took about an hour or more to get round, but if you participate in some of the things going on ( don't want to say or it will spoil the experience) it will obviously be longer.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Fabulous place to visit - I’d recommend at least 2 hours to see everything but we visited again as there’s so much to see. It covers everything from the early days to Voyage there’s lots of things to listen to and videos to watch as well as interactive exhibits. Excellent shop too with items I’ve not seen in London’s Voyage shop. The Visitors cafe next door is lovely too.

Incredible experience

It is absolutely incredible, it really helps to comprehend the impact of this band. It also allow you to perform like them

The ticket includes pop on sightseeing bus and boat lines. It was convenient and worthy. Good experience!

I had a great time on both the boat and bus. All the staff were nice and helpful, especially Sofia.

Wow wow wow vart ska jag börja? Sedan jag köpte min biljett utav Johan på slottskajen fram tills jag gick av bussen är det här bästa upplevelsen gällande sightseeing. Sebastian gav en fantastisk resa som jag sent kommer att glömma, hans glöd och engagemang. Rekommenderar starkt om du besöker Stockholm!

Notre séjour à Stockholm a été marqué par le circuit proposé par Red Sightseeing; il nous a permis de connaître tous les points d'intérêt de la ville, et même de prendre le bateau en plus du bus. Nous avions des poussettes ce qui n'a pas posé problème puisque des coins sont prévus à cet effet. Un grand merci à IK grâce à qui j'ai pu récupérer mon portable oublié dans un des bus 🤞, encore merci pour ta patience et ton aide !! Laurie et bébé Meïze (comme Amazing 😉)
