Between October 1 and October 20, Stockholm’s Tramway City (Spårväg City) will undergo maintenance work, resulting in temporary changes to the traffic. Tram line 7, which runs between T-Centralen and Waldemarsudde here on Royal Djurgården, will be replaced by buses on a reduced schedule during this period. Additionally, several stops will be relocated as the work takes place in the tram track area.
Below, we have gathered important information about the changes that will apply during this period.
Bus Replacement
Starting at around 11:50 pm on Sunday night, buses will replace tram line 7, to and from Djurgården. Buses will replace the tram until October 20. Trams will resume normal operation on the morning of Saturday, October 21.
The bus will use the same line number as the tram, which is 7, and will follow their own timetable. They will run at intervals of up to 12 minutes between 7 am and 10:40 pm from Monday to Friday and between 9 am and 10:40 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. This means that buses will run slightly less frequently compared to the usual tram service.
Relocated Stops
The replacement buses will stop at the same stops normally used by the tram, with a few exceptions. Changes to stops will also affect the regular bus lines that use these stops.
Skansen: The stop heading towards Waldemarsudde will be relocated to Djurgårdsvägen, by the regular roadway.
Liljevalchs/Gröna Lund (Currently completly closed off): The stop will be completely closed in both directions throughout much of the maintenance work. Passengers are advised to use the Nordiska museet/Vasamuseet or Skansen stops.
Djurgårdsbron: The stop will be relocated in both directions on Strandvägen, by the regular roadway, and not on the tracks in the middle of Strandvägen. This also applies to the regular bus lines 67, 69, and 76.
Please note that the traffic will be less frequent than the regular schedule during this period. It is therefore important to use SL’s journey planner to find the best alternative for your trip.
Ferry boats are a good alternative to get to and from Djurgården.
Djurgårdsfärjan, ferry line 82, runs between Räntmästartappan/Slussen and Allmänna gränd at Djurgården, via Skeppsholmen.
Sjövägen, SL’s ferry line 80, between Ropsten and Nybroplan. You get off the boat at Allmänna gränd stop on Djurgården. The stop is located near Gröna Lund.
Of course, the subway runs as usual, so why not take the Red Line to Karlaplan or Östermalmstorg and walk the last part to Djurgården.

I started my day with a sober visit to the Museum of Spirits to see their exhibitions. The one that I was most curious about as a temporary exhibition was their Absolute Art Collection named ReDISCOver which is a handpicked collection from the 80s presented with a disco vibe using music and lights (ends on 24/9). The other exhibitions were more interactive with things to touch and smell. Beer is not my thing but I continued through the museum and learned a lot about distilleries and the history of drinking culture of Sweden. I would like to bring friends on a day off to go to one of their tastings and tours to learn more about gin or wine. During their first hour after opening it was really calm with few people around so I could explore at my own pace.
