Stockholm: Mamma Mia! New ABBA tour for band’s fans

This post has been corrected. See the note at the bottom for details.

Love ABBA? You’re in luck. On July 1, the Stockholm City Museum will start a walking tour in English focused on the world of the Swedish supergroup that spawned hits such as “Fernando,” “Dancing Queen,” and “Take a Chance on Me,” plus the popular “Mamma Mia!” musical and movie.

The ABBA City Walk visits places where the group lived, worked, and performed as well as locales used in their videos. The tour will run Fridays and Saturdays through September. The museum is also producing a map of these sites on sale in its gift shop.

While in Stockholm, you can check out another of the museum’s tours, this one based on native son Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” and other novels in the the late author’s best-selling Millennium Triology series.The Stieg Larsson Millennium tour visits locations mentioned in the books and the movies based on them. It runs Saturdays and Wednesdays through September.

Both tours take about 2 hours and cost about $19.

Tickets are on sale at the museum and at the Stockholm Tourist Center, or you can order online through Ticnet.
