]]>ABBA The Museum
The iconic pop band ABBA is one of the first things that pops to mind when someone mentions Sweden, so it’s not a surprise to see there’s a whole museum dedicated to its legacy. In addition to pop group memorabilia, this museum also features interactive exhibits, including a studio and dance floor.
Museum of Spirits
Located a short walk away from the previous museum, this one is just as weirdly specific and equally exciting. It features exhibits on the history and culture of alcohol in Sweden, and it comes with an art gallery and a bar on its premises.
Vasa Museum
One of Stockholm’s top tourist attractions, this maritime museum deserves a spot on your travel itinerary even if you’re not crazy about naval history. It’s best known for displaying the fully intact historic ship Vasa which sank on her maiden voyage during the 17th century before becoming the shining star of this museum.

For over 100 years, Centralbadet has offered personalized treatments, wellness classes, and saunas in a beautiful art nouveau building on the city’s iconic Drottninggatan street.

The subway system was created in 1941 and opened for public use in 1950. Since then, the stations have been filled with paintings, sculptures, and elaborate mosaics. Traveling through Stokholm by the subway is like having access to a giant free public art gallery.
The gallery is made possible through government funding. Maintainance work is necessary to ensure that the beautiful artworks are protected from vandals.
Many of the stations not only contain paintings, but have been transformed into colorful artworks themselves. The tunnels have been painted and adapted to become a unique space for tourists and locals to enjoy.

We bet you haven’t seen a subway this cool before! The spot looks and feels like you’re in a cave and the photos from this place are just amazing. There are so many hidden gems here, like boots on the ceiling, architecture rods, etc.
Södermalm
City district Södermalm is famous for its beautiful building facades that make a perfect photography backdrop. You can take the best photos from the opposite side, standing on the Riddarholmen island. That way, you will get the whole neighborhood in your shot.
Prästgatan
This picturesque street is great for taking wanderlust photos. We can’t decide if it looks better during the day or night, but nighttime may be our favorite because of the warm colors and cozy atmosphere.
In the corner of Prästgatan/ Kåkbrinken there's an actual rune stone from 1100’s in the wall. #visitstockholm #prästgatanThe post These Are the Most Instagrammable Locations in Stockholm appeared first on Traveler Master.
