We took a short plane ride from Copenhagen, to an even colder Stockholm, Sweden. Sadly, we were all too cold to do anything so mainly spent our time and didn't really get the full experience of Stockholm.

Can't really say I'm a big ABBA fan, I've seen Mamma Mia and know their famous songs, but the ABBA museum was fantastic! There were so many interactive aspects where you perform karaoke and be rated on your performance, dance on stage with holograms, and become a fifth member of the band. Each time you want to participate in something you scan your ticket and at the end, you get emailed all the videos. After all the ABBA memorabilia, there is a Swedish Hall of Fame where it is split into decades and looks at all the famous Swedish artists.

Next we went to the Vasa Museum which is centred around an authentic 17th century war ship. The ship sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 and sank, but was salvaged 333 years later. The museum explains the history behind the ship, with exhibits explaining what life was like on board.
Although we were already freezing, we stupidly thought a visit to the Icebar would be a fun idea. I feel like it's one of those places you should visit once but I wouldn't go back again, not worth it for the price. The bar is kept at -7 degrees and is quite small but decorated in beautiful ice sculptures. You are given a warm poncho with mittens to wear before entering.
If you don't particularly like the cold,I would recommend waiting and visiting Sweden in the warmer months. Even though we are Canadian, we were used to the mild London winter and found the temperature too cold for us to want to spend much time outside.
