Traffic information – Stockholm Marathon

On June 3, it’s time for one of Europe’s biggest marathons, the Adidas Stockholm Marathon to once again take over Stockholm’s streets to the sounds of thousands of running feet, wonderful music and the people’s cheers. A day you don’t want to miss! The Royal Djurgården is always open and welcomes you to join in celebrating and cheering on all brave runners!

It is possible to get to Djurgården even during the Stockholm Marathon. Of course, some of the traffic may have to pause when the runners take over the streets, but we can help all our visitors find other ways to get here than by car, bus or tram. To make it easy, we have compiled traffic information for Marathon Day below.

Marathon runners at Djurgården
The runners are at Djurgården between 12:30 and 15:30

On the water, no major disruptions 
A good way to get to Djurgården is by boat. With an SL ticket you can take line 82 and 80 which stops at Allmänna Gränd just outside Gröna Lund. Line 82 goes with extra traffic between 10 am – 6 pm on the Marathon day. You can find the timetable at sl.se.

In addition to SL’s boats, you can also go with M/S Emelie, which takes you to Djurgården from Hammarby Sjöstad and Masthamnen. See the timetable here.

The Hop-on-Hop-off boats makes tow stops here at Djurgården, behind the Vasa Museum and at Allmänna Gränd outside of Gröna Lund. To find out more about tickets and timetables, read more at Stromma or Red Sightseeing. 

Metro, no major disruptions
Even the subway runs as it should. Therefore, it is very convenient to get from central Stockholm with red line 13 to the nearest subway station Karlaplan. From Karlaplan, you can easily walk the remaining distance to Djurgården, a walk of around 10 minutes. It is also possible to take red lines 13 and 14 to the subway station Östermalmstorg and then walk along the beautiful Strandvägen to Djurgården, a walk you will not regret.

Canceled bus and tram service
Due to traffic closures on June 3, it is not possible to get to Djurgården or the Museum Park by car. The tram line 7 and 7:N is closed all day between 10 am – 7 pm. Bus line 67 and 69 (to and from Djurgården) is closed between 11 am – 7.30 pm and bus line 76 (between Ropsten and Djurgården) is closed between 10.20 am – 7.40 pm, read more about this at sl.se.
