Do/See
Have a look inside Hellmans Music Shop to see some old musical relics and get a feel for how music influenced the city
Took scooters around the island SoderMalm
On Gamla Stan, see the Nobel Prize Museum, walk the streets of Vasterlanggatan, surrounded by a lot of tourists and shops
Walked across the Skeppsholmsbron bridge and took a ferry across to Djurgarden for an impromptu stop at Grona Lund
Tour the Vasa Museum to see the massive royal viking ship that was unearthed and restored.
Visit the ABBA The Museum, sing, record music, watch old videos, see old stage outfits; “walk in singing, leave dancing.”
Eat/Drink
A bar called Gemma - a local lively hot spot
800 Grader Slice Shop - some of the best pizza we’ve had (outside of Italy)
Lucy’s Flower Shop - great cocktail bar, slightly difficult to find off the street, very cool atmosphere inside with cool lighting
Dinner at Tjoget - a local hipster spot with (you’ll never believe it) great cocktails. Felt like MB Post in Manhattan Beach
Röda Huset - one of the top bars with the best casual food, great views of the city and local hospitality with Hampas, the bar magician
