Review the Avicii Experience in Stockholm, with interactive music exhibits, VR, audio guide, practical tips, price advice, and family details.

“The Avicii experience was an immersive and unforgettable experience. It’s an emotional roller coaster through the life, art, and soul of Tim Bergling. his sounds, his struggles, his dreams, the recreation of his childhood bedroom. Standing there, surrounded by his early influences and the innocent beginnings of his passion, we were overwhelmed. It was raw, it was real, and it reminded us that behind every global star is a human being with a heart, a family, and a story. The exhibit gracefully walks you through Avicii’s rise to fame — his groundbreaking music, the energy of his performances, and his influence on a generation. But it doesn’t shy away from…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 682 reviews · 1 - 3 days · from $37

Review Stockholm’s hop-on hop-off bus tour, with stops at the Vasa Museum, Gamla Stan, Skansen, cruise terminals, and more.

“It started out great, everything was wonderful. they tell you the last bus leaves stop #8 at 2:30pm so you can be back to the cruise terminal in time. What they don't tell you is the buses stop running at 1:30pm. We were waiting a stop #3 for over 30 minutes waiting for a bus and all of them were stopping at #1 and not moving, so we ended up taking a taxi to #7 and walking to #8 (cutting down on the cost) just to make it in time. So watch your time and double check with the drivers about catching the bus to go back to the cruise…”
