The
Home of ABBA, Stockholm
We could hardly wait to visit the ABBA Museum and the Swedish Music Hall of Fame!
Once there we met our guide and started the exciting tour. We had a fantastic time in the museum finding out the story of the band and taking part on all the interactive exhibits.
On stage with the holograms of the band we experience what it felt like to be the fifth member!
We had so much fun dancing and singing on the flashing dance floor to all the songs of ABBA!
We saw on display the amazing, crazy and spectacular stage costumes that the group members of ABBA have donated from their private collections.
We looked at all the gold records and original gadgets, memorabilia and much more. 
Inside the Hall of Fame we read biographies, looked at stunning portraits and photographs.The exhibition shows how Swedish popular music has evolved over time, from the early 1920s until today. 
In the old town of Gamla Stan we were fascinated by the many historic buildings. We visited the cathedral and watched the changing of
the guard at the Royal Palace. As it was a special day, due to the princess’s
birthday we were treated to a round of celebratory cannon fire. We then went inside
the palace and walked through the rooms, marvelling at the many frescos,
paintings and historic furniture.
We
caught the open top bus for a tour of all the city sights. It was a really nice
way to
see so many of the sights!
We went to Drottningholm Palace via a picturesque boat trip down the river. The sun was shining and the palace looked splendid on the banks of the river. First we visited the gardens which were full of water features and even had an oriental garden area. We then had our picture taken with the guards before entering the palace.
Once inside we marvelled at the splendid decor, furnishings and learnt all about the fascinating history of the royals.
