Depart from the pier, driving through the Swedish countryside towards the city where you will begin a panoramic sightseeing tour. The comfortable motorcoach travels along Strandvagen, a spectacular wide boulevard created in the second half of the 19th century, and continues to the neighboring island of Djurgarden for views of its splendid gardens, parklands, Vasa Museum and the spectacular new ABBA The Museum. Upon arrival, embark on a 90-minute, free time walk/dance through the sprawling career of this sensational band whose sales have topped 400 million albums around the world. The museum features displays that span the band’s career, starting in the 1970s. As you tour the galleries, you’ll learn more about their grand worldwide tours, the events leading up to their split in 1983 and how the band lives on in such projects as the spectacular stage show of a well-known feature film!
The museum offers much more than static displays of costumes, gold records and memorabilia. It highlights the band’s meteoric rise to stardom, and members of the original band were involved in the development of the museum, ensuring visitors would experience what it was like to be a member of the band. Enter the replica of Polar Studio, where the band recorded, and see and touch the equipment used in the original studio. Dance to the songs you love on a flashing dance floor and sit behind the controls of the helicopter used on an album cover and perform with the band in a high-tech hologram show! At the completion of your museum visit, rejoin the motorcoach and continue your panoramic sightseeing tour through Stockholm’s city center and medieval section known as Old Town. As an added bonus, your guide will point out sites such as City Hall, the Royal Opera. After having free time to grab some lunch (at your own expense) and to enjoy the city on own, your rock ‘n’ roll tour of music and memories concludes with a relaxing motorcoach ride back to port.
