ABBA the Museum opened in May.
Buzzy new gastropubs and drinking salons have been proliferating throughout Stockholm's urban islands, from pockets of the tourist-heavy Gamla Stan to hip Sodermalm, which today is a virtual Little Brooklyn with its bars, body art and beards. But Djurgarden, the tranquil two-mile-long island in the middle of the capital, had largely been a stalwart against these waves of change. Dense with meadows, an aging amusement park and staid museums, Djurgarden lacked the dynamic appeal that pulses in nearby areas. But recent openings on the western edge are infusing new life into this oft-overlooked island.
ABBA THE MUSEUM
Devoted to the legendary Swedish pop band and Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid's catchy tunes, this museum, which opened in May, gives fans reasons to sing again, more than 30 years after the group split.
Djurgardsvagen 68; (46-8) 1213-2860; abbathemuseum.com; admission 195 Swedish kronor, about $32 at 6.10 kronor to the dollar
SPRITMUSEUM

Spiritmuseum.
A potent mixture of art and alcohol are the focus of this museum that opened on the waterfront in May 2012. A collection of Absolut Vodka's arty ads mingles with educational-type exhibits on topics ranging from Sweden's strict liquor laws to traditional drinking songs.
Djurgardsvagen 38; (46-8) 1213-1300; spritmuseum.se; admission 100 kronor
MELODY HOTEL
Those looking to bed down on Djurgarden can now check in to this chic 50-room boutique hotel, which opened in April. The ground-floor restaurant and bar overlook the ABBA museum's red-carpeted entrance, making the spots great for people-watching.

OAXEN KROG & SLIP

Oaxen Krog and Slip.
This May, the elegant new Nordic restaurant Oaxen Krog moved from a tiny island in Stockholm's archipelago to a large metal structure on Djurgarden's southwestern edge, where it's now joined by a more casual adjacent bistro, Oaxen Slip.

LILL-SKANSEN

Lill-Skansen.
The sprawling open-air museum Skansen is rural Sweden in miniature, complete with red farmhouses and folk costumes. And Lill-Skansen, its recently revamped children's zoo, includes a new building filled with little creatures like rabbits, guinea pigs and frogs, as well as an aviary and a pasture of pint-size goats for petting.
Skansen, Djurgardsslatten 49-51; (46-8) 442-8000; skansen.se; admission 100 kronor
