Just sat back and listened to the history and was able to see all the city points from one bus-did both routes which was easier than getting on and off a bus to change! It also gave you different vantage points of the same statues and buildings…

It was winter and a snowy day. All went well. It is great to do a bus city tour before going to places.

I didn’t realize that ABBA museum wasn’t included until entrance. I thought it was as it was listed in the app and website.
