Sweden things to do
Stockholm Archipelago
The wider area of the Stockholm Archipelago is a bit of a well-kept secret. This region features nearly 30,000 pristine islands and islets just waiting to be explored. Accessible by boat from Stockholm and just a few minutes away, each island has its own character. Some have sandy beaches, others woodlands and rocky cliffs. It's a magical place to discover.
Grona Lund Tivoli
Sitting on Djurgarden's western waterfront, Gruna Lund is an amusement park that's fun for kids of all ages. It's also the oldest of its kind in Sweden, dating back to 1883. Try thrilling rides such as Eclipse and Free Fall, or traditional fun like The Love Tunnel. You can even watch major concerts here, too.
Luxury Swedish Spa
It would be rude not to relax with a luxury spa in Sweden, where the popular Swedish massage was invented. Take some time out for yourself and let your muscles relax. Choose from a menu of therapies and treatments, soak it up in a jacuzzi and find peace in a sauna.
Gamla Stan
The old town of Stockholm, Gamla Stan dates back to the 13th century. Wander narrow cobbled streets and discover neat rows of ochre-coloured buildings and wide open squares that give way to cathedrals and palaces. Every step in Gamla Stan unveils a new sight, and every corner turned is a glimpse into the past. A must-see place to visit.
ABBA The Museum
Celebrate Sweden's famous band with a trip to the ABBA museum in Stockholm. Winners of the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, ABBA achieved international stardom with a string of famous hits. This museum shares the story of the band with lots of memorabilia and exhibitions that put you in the shoes of Bjorn, Benny, Frida and Agnetha.
