On the June 6 there will be a big party here at Royal Djurgården, aswell as in the whole of Stockholm. On june 6 it is 500 years since Gustav Vasa was elected king of Sweden and at the same time our king celebrates 50 years on the throne. The National Day celebration continues throughout the day and reaches its climax when the royal couple arrives at Skansen. So there is every reason to come here and celebrate with us.

Scroll down and get tips on activities.
Warm welcome!

Here are some tips on how to get here on June 6:
Take the boat
The waterways are open, so choose to go here by boat if you have the opportunity.
Djurgårdsfärjan (line 82) runs extra trips all day and line 80 runs heavy traffic from Nybrokajen to Allmänna gränd.
m/s Emelie is also an option.
Take the subway
Of course, the subway runs all day. You can go to Kungsträdgården and combine with boat line 80 which leaves from Nybrokajen. Another option is to go to Slussen and walk to Djurgårdsfärjan, or you can take the subway to Karlaplan and walk a bit..
Cycle and walk
You can always combine cycling and walking here.
Leave the car at home.
It’s a folk festival in the city and then there can be queues. Djurgårdsbron is closed to public car traffic at 8.22am. If you have to take the car, try to find a parking space a little beyond Djurgården, and walk if possible.
And of course – be on time, plan your trip and find the latest news in the sl app.

Suspension of police authority during June 6
The following inforamtion is what the suspensions look like during the day – according to the latest information:

At 8-22. Closed at Djurgårdsbron and Djurgårdsbrunnsvägen for general car traffic.

Licensed vehicles, tourist bus traffic, taxis and public transport can pass.

(but the boats run extra and you can walk)

At 14.15-18.30 In connection with the motorcade (as in previous years)

At 21-22. Around the Nordic Museum (due to special celebrations this year)

Extra traffic information
Here you get more details about how public transport runs during National Day and all of the summer’s events.

Here is a summary of information about the traffic this summer.

In general,  the public ferry run more often than before. The Djurgård ferry operates with more boats. Line 80 runs extra trips Nybroplan – Allmänna gränd. Bus traffic is mainly affected during events – with a major impact during National Day – read this extra.

Here you will find an article on the traffic during the National Day aimed at the general public.

Extra boat traffic this summer
June 3 (Saturday) – August 27 (Sunday)

The traffic will run according to a revised summer timetable. The summer timetable is brought forward by 20 days and includes two extra traffic loops. This means increased 4-6 extra departures per hour in each direction Nybroplan-Djurgården and Djurgården-Nybroplan during the period 09-19 (line 80).

Extra boat traffic during events
When bus traffic is most affected, the boats often run extra traffic. Keep an eye on the Djurgårdslinjen, line 80 and m/s Emelie – and of course also hop-on hop-off options.

Impact of bus traffic in connection with events
Here is information on how bus traffic is affected during the summer event.

June 2–14
Bus 67 will have Waldemarsudden as the end stop instead of Blockhusudden, during the period bus 69 will extend and serve the stops Manilla, Thielska gallery and Blockhusudden so that the school, residents and visitors can get there.  Here you can find more information and search for the next journey.

This is with reference to traffic safety as the work with the external music festival Rosendal Garden Party means that there will be several work vehicles and workers moving along Djurgårdsvägen.

During the period 2–14 June, other events will affect this rescheduling.

June 3
Adidas Stockholm Marathon, bus 67 and 69 are completely canceled between approx. 11:00-19:30, in addition to the rescheduling due to Rosendal’s Garden Party.

June 4
Prince Bertil Memorial, Gärdesloppet. On this day, bus 67 will operate its regular route throughout the day. Until about At 18:15, bus 69 will not stop at Djurgårdsbrunn, instead Kaknäs will be the final stop.

June 6
National Day is special this year. Bus 67 will use Karlaplan as the final stop during 14.30-20.40, so there will be no traffic out to Djurgården during this time. Around 20:15-23:00, the line will run the back route between Odenplan-Liljevalchs/Gröna Lund and therefore not stop at the Nordiska museet/Vasa museum.

Travelers who want to take bus 67 towards the city will have to stand at the stops in the direction of Blockhusudden, so in the “wrong” direction compared to normal. Extra important for Gröna Lun’s visitors to know, but everyone who is open in the evening may need to know this.

Bus 69 will be extended to Blockhusudden as usual, but will only serve Karlaplan-Blockhusudden at around 14:30-21:30.

Below is a map of route 67 and how it will run the back road, the map is an aid to bus drivers but can be good to see as an overview.

June 13-14
Between about 15:30-19:30, bus 69 will be cut at the Kaknäs stop and line 67 is still cut at Waldemarsudde, so no traffic goes out towards Manila, Thiel Gallery, Blockhusudden during these times.

Some information about the upcoming Rosendal Garden Party on June 9-11 (note: there is no festival on June 8).
The area will begin to be established on Saturday 3 June and the decommissioning is expected to be completed by Wednesday 14 June. In connection with construction/decommissioning, there may be heavy traffic on Djurgårdsvägen, Fredrik Bloms Väg, Valmundsvägen, Rosendalsvägen and Manillavägen.

We will encourage everyone to use public transport or cycle to the area. The entrance is located a bit into the forest at the intersection Djurgårdsvägen/Valmundsvägen. In connection with the event, some roads will be closed with guard. This includes parts of Djurgårdsvägen after the Italian Embassy, Valmundsvägen and parts of Bergsjölundsvägen.

 

 

The Nordic Museum turns 150 years old and celebrates all of 2023 by looking forward and backward in time. Sunday, March 26, is the children’s big 150th birthday party. The children’s magical day offers divination and the presenter Erik Ekstrand tests life hacks from the past from the museum’s most secret archives.

– On this day we celebrate the museum by traveling 150 years back in time. In addition to divination and life hacks with Erik Ekstrand from people in the past, you can try life as a child on a farm in the 1890s. Or step straight into the children’s history through a magical portal in the award-winning Time Vault. Anything can happen and everything is real in a museum where magic happens and time is backwards, says Lena Bergqvist, audience producer at the Nordic museum.

Are you one of those who dream of getting on board the Vasa ship? Royalty and Nobel laureates have been allowed to do so, but rarely the museum’s other visitors. Now it becomes possible for anyone – through 42 short films.

Boarding Vasa is a big dream for many, but the ship is too fragile for that to be allowed. Through the films that will be released on March 10 on the Vasa Museum’s website and on the museum’s Instagram account, the dream is almost coming true. Through the films, you can see what Vasa looks like inside.

In the film On board Vasa, you get to follow the Vasa Museum’s research director Fred Hocker, who shows all the decks on the ship. Fred explains how places and features were meant to be used.

– It’s really fun to be able to show the whole ship, even the parts that are always hidden from visitors, says Fred Hocker, director of research at the Vasa Museum.

In each episode, Fred Hocker shows a space on the ship and tells about what it is, how it was used and what interesting details may remain.

An important aspect of the film is to document how the ship looks like today. In the near future, a new support system for Vasa will be developed – both inside and outside – and it will not be possible to access all spaces in the same way as today. During 2022, the Vasa Museum has therefore carried out extensive documentation work in photography and film on board the Vasa. During the work, the idea of also producing another type of film was born. A film that takes the visitor on board.

Take part in the films here.

Villa Godthem

We look forward to welcoming you to Djurgården where the snow (hopefully) crunches under your shoes and the fire baskets crackle outside Villa Godthem.

Djurgården tips for the autumn holidays 2022!

At Royal Djurgården, we love autumn almost as much as summer. The leaves are changing colour and soon Djurgården will be a fantastic colourful island with lots of activities for young and old alike. Perhaps you’d like to go on a coffin hunt? Why not solve an exciting mystery at Skansen? Learn how Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico? Or why not take a course in programming at the Museum of Technology?

We offer a wide range, so grab your pen and notepad because here are some of our top Djurgården tips for the 2022 autumn holidays!

Ghosts, ghouls and demons!
Autumn is full of scary creatures hiding in the dark. For the fifth year in a row, Gröna Lund is opening its doors to gas-guzzling monsters, five houses of horrors and a parade of frights that will make even the bravest of us crazy. If you’re not a big fan of horror, you can always stay in the small area. Filled with pumpkins and friendly witches, it’s a perfect place for young and old alike to enjoy; it’s nothing short of an autumn paradise.

A stone’s throw away from Gröna Lund is The Viking Museum. In October, the museum becomes even more magical and a bit spooky! During the autumn holidays, the museum is filled with brutal and frightening anecdotes about bloody, historical events from the Viking Age. The family tours will not be as scary, but will focus on folklore and mythology. Dare to join the staff after closing time and find out what goes on in the museum when the lights go out or why not be divined by mysterious Wolves who can tell your future? There will also be a cosy Autumn Ball. They will talk about the Viking festival and perform a blot ceremony.

Or maybe you want to get back in the school desk and learn about “Day of the Dead”? For more than 30 years, the Mexican holiday Dia de Muertos has been celebrated at the Museum of Ethnography and on November 5-6 it’s happening again! The museum will celebrate the holiday with Mexican folk dance and music, a market, a tour, sacrificial altar ofrenda, a film screening, and creative activities in the museum’s creative workshop. The music and dance performance “Fiesta en el cementario/Fest in the Cemetery” will be performed several times during the weekend. Performers include the folk dance group Mexico Lindo and the Mariachi orchestra Fiesta México.

For the family that prefers to sit in front of the fire, cozy up and grill sausages, we have the perfect autumn holiday activity!

Skansen has autumn holidays for the whole family. A mystery on the theme of discovery and strange plants in the City Quarter.

An exciting and mysterious adventure where you will help the children of the Secret Society to solve the mystery of the strange plant. You’ll meet the explorer Viola of Compassroos, a curious journalist, the singing sailor Vega Våghals and a bunch of other interesting characters! Look for clues, solve riddles and help the Secret Society solve the mystery of the City Quarter. Whoever is really clever and solves the mystery gets a reward. You can always challenge the family to a cane-horse jump, at the Order House Brofästet. Skansen has a great selection for those who can’t make up their minds.

Why not take a tour of the Nordic Museum during the autumn holidays? What really happens at the Nordic Museum after dark? There’s something strange about the old museum building. A lot of mysterious traces and figures have been seen lately. The museum assures us that everything is in order. But rumor has it that the old creature archive has been left unlocked. For two evenings in the autumn holidays, you have the chance to find out for yourself. The Nordic Museum welcomes Halloween-weary families to an interactive museum experience filled with mysterious creatures and folktale stories.

Also don’t miss the autumn holidays at the Museum of Wreck’s. During the autumn holidays, there are daily family screenings at 1pm starting with watching the film “Sea of Memories”. Take the opportunity to also look around the museum’s many different exciting exhibits and take a VR dive on a wreck! During the week, you will also be able to make crafts in the museum!

Take inspiration from autumn and be creative during the autumn holidays!

Prince Eugene’s Waldemarsudde has organised the perfect autumn holiday activity for those interested in art and theatre with a focus on clothing and fashion. Isaac Grünewald’s paintings are filled with shimmering colours and interesting characters. In both self-portraits, portraits of friends and costume sketches, clothes are used to emphasise characteristics and stories. We will begin with a tour of the exhibition followed by a studio workshop where we will create our own experimental fashion collages inspired by the paintings.

On the other side of the water, the Maritime Museum offers a glimpse into the Escape from the Baltic and the children who fled across the Baltic Sea during the Second World War. We listen to their stories. We read aloud from children’s books about children on the run and create together on the theme. They also offer a coffin hunt and a creative workshop.

Swap autumn holidays for reading and programming holidays!

Junibacken offers a reading holiday full of fun for both children and adults, with everything from theatre to nightmare rooms and ice cream. Almost every day the show Skinn Skerping – the scariest of all ghosts in Småland, based on Astrid Lindgren’s short story, is on and is perfect for children aged 5 and upwards. Reading holidays at Junibacken offer autumn play in Sweden’s largest Moomin playground, theatre every day and an exciting ghost hunt. Between 29 October and 6 November, all children who come dressed up will get an ice cream, an apple or why not both. There’s room for nightmarish spiders, cute monsters and speedy unicorns. Welcome to a magical autumn holiday at Junibacken!

If you take the bike 10 minutes from Junibacken and follow Rosendalsvägen, you’ll end up at the Museum of Technology, and here the focus is on a proper programming course. Discover explosive space shows, explore the Hyper Human exhibition or take a tour of Zero City. Learn the basics of programming by coding with various graphical and tactile programming tools. No prior experience is required, but since we work with block code, basic reading comprehension is helpful. You participate in the course without adults or other family members. Perfect for those who are curious!

Right next to the Museum of Technology is the Police Museum, where you can go on an exciting tour of crime scene investigations, ending with a look at how the police go about securing fingerprints! What’s the first thing the police have to do when they arrive at a crime scene? And what happens next? What kind of clues can you find there? And who is actually looking for all the clues?

If none of the above appeals, why not take a leisurely stroll around Djurgården? Look at the leaves that have changed colour and go into one of the many cafés, under EAT you will find several options.

There is an incredibly wide range of activities here on Djurgården and we have only mentioned a few. Open up our calendar or take a look further down to find out about all the other fun happening here this autumn!

Princess Estelle’s Sculpture Park on Royal Djurgården continues to grow and will have its fourth permanent sculpture this summer. Following works by international artists Alice Aycock, Elmgreen & Dragset and Yinka Shonibare CBE, the Foundation has chosen to present a Swedish artist for the first time. A new sculpture by Charlotte Gyllenhammar will be inaugurated on June 1st 2023.

Charlotte Gyllenhammar was born in Gothenburg in 1963 and studied at the Royal College of Art in Stockholm and the Royal College of Art in London. Over the years she has worked in various media including painting, photography, installation, film and sculpture. During her career she has participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, has carried out numerous public commissions and is today considered one of our country’s best-known and most successful artists. This autumn, she is presenting a major solo exhibition at Prince Eugene’s Waldermarsudde on Royal Djurgården, on view from November 12th to March 26 2023.

The choice of artist is made by the board of Princess Estelle’s Cultural Foundation, which is assisted by an artistic council consisting of Richard Julin, artistic director of Accelerator in Stockholm, Lars Nittve, former director of Tate Modern in London, Moderna Museet in Stockholm and M+ in Hong Kong, and Ann-Sofi Noring, member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and former deputy director of Modern art Museum in Stockholm.

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.

Read more about the fall program here.

Here you can try diving in VR or experience the dramatic story of the ship Resande Man’s sinking. At the Vasa Museum, you’ll meet the world’s best-preserved 17th-century ship: Gustav II Adolfs’ warship Vasa, which sank on its maiden voyage.

We are so happy that more and more museums are starting to open up here at Royal Djurgården again. Next up is the National Maritime Museum and the Vasa Museum. Followed by ABBA The Museum and the Amusement Park Gröna Lund.

Since October 30 last year, the National Maritime Museum has only offered digital visits. But from May 18, the museum will reopen and welcomes visitors again. A new exhibition, The Collectors, has taken place inside the museum while it has been closed. The Collectors is about people who have passionately collected and systematised objects, pictures and facts about ships, boats, and shipping. In order to make your visit as safe and secure as possible the museum has taken several precautions. The number of visitors allowed into the museum will be restricted. The café will also be opend but with limited seats. Find out more about the National Maritime Museum’s opening here.

The Vasa Museum is also getting ready to reopen after being closed for 200 days. The museum opens its doors to visitors on Wednesday May 19 with security – and joy – in focus.

250 visitors will be allowed inside the museum at the same time. Each visitor will have plenty of space and it will be easy to keep distance from others. At the same time, it is possible to get close to the ship and get a magnificent experience of Vasa. The staff will be back and have answers to all your questions and to help out. They will unfortunately not hold any guided tours to avoid crowding. Audio guides in many different languages are available for free download and can be listened to on your own smart phone or tablet. The museum, the museum shop and the Vasa museum’s restaurant will be open every day of the week. Find out more about the Vasa Museum’s opening here.

On May 27 it is also time for ABBA The Museum to opens its doors to visitors again, after being closed since November last year. From the opening date, the museum will be open Thursdays to Sundays, with the ambition to extend the opening days in July. Find out more here.

Gröna Lund Amusement Park will also finally open on 2 June. Before you visit Gröna Lund this year, you will need to pre-book tickets. When you buy your ticket online, you first choose a visit date and then if you want to arrive in the morning or afternoon. Super easy! And the best thing about that, with fewer guests, they can offer shorter queues and larger areas. Yay! Find out more information here. 

The Museum of Ethnography, Junibacken, Nordiska museet, Skansen, The Skansen Aquarium, Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde, the Museum of Spirits, Tekniska museet, the Thiel Gallery and Rosendal’s Garden are also open and welcomes you. And don’t worry about going hungry; almost all of Djurgården’s restaurants are open as well.
