On Saturday, September 3, it’s finally time for the Tjejmilen – Sweden’s biggest event just for women!

On 3 September, it’s time for the Tjejmilen – one of the world’s biggest events just for girls. For the 38th year in a row, thousands upon thousands of women will gather at Gärdet in Stockholm to run 10 kilometres, but also to be part of something very powerful as the whole of Stockholm overflows with girl power. Welcome to a day filled with energy, joy and raceday butterflies. This year, the 2022 Tjejmilen will take a trip back in time to the 90s.

You can travel by boat

The Djurgårds ferry, Sjövägen 80 and M/S Emelie will run on schedule all day.

Metro, tram and bus

Of course, you can also take the metro to Karlaplan or Östermalmstorg and then walk the last bit to Djurgården and Museiparken.

On September 1st, the Vasa Museum’s fall program opens with a packed program of afternoon teas, soup lunches, exciting talks and delicious food experiences. Ticket booking opens this afternoon.

The Vasa Museum’s autumn program is off to a good start. In conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the Baltic Sea Festival, a concert will be held in the ship’s hall with the Baroque ensemble L’Arpeggiata, which brings the 17th century to life with Latin and jazz influences.

– A new feature this year is the programming on Sundays in October and November, with special film screenings in October and a new theme every Sunday in November. As usual, we will celebrate Gustav Adolf Day on 6 November, and this year we will do so together with Richard Tellström, a food historian, who will talk about the world of matidé in the 17th century, says Elin Petersson, program manager at the Vasa Museum. She continues:

– It is wonderful that program operations are fully restored after two years of pandemic restrictions. Now we look forward to a fantastic autumn of programming with our visitors!

Afternoon tea at the Vasa Museum includes a cultural history talk and a delicious plate of treats to accompany your tea. This autumn’s talk is about colours in the 17th century. Soup lunches with lectures take place on Thursdays and pea soup is served, of course. The popular craft evenings with the Vasa Museum’s costume researchers are back on Wednesday evenings, with coffee and inspiration from the ship Vasa and the 17th century.
