Happens during the days inbetween

The days in between the holidays is when you hopefully have  time to unwind after Christmas and recharge for the New Year, when many people take time off to spend time with family and friends. Here are a few tips on how you can spend your  days at Royal Djurgården!

Rosendals Garden

For the first time in 40 years, Rosendal’s garden café will be open in the summer holidays. Rosendal will be the perfect stop on your walk, why not have a grilled sandwich or coffee in front of the newly installed fireplace in one of the greenhouses where the cosiness factor is through the roof.

The museum of Swedish drinking culture 

Take the opportunity to go on a guided tour during the festive season. At the Spritmuseum you can be guided through both Swedish drinking history, and the latest exhibition Money on the wall- Andy Warhol and immerse yourself in the era shaped by Warhol’s most commercial, but also most groundbreaking, side. Why not finish with a  brunch in the restaurant  or a glass of bubbly at the bar.

PREKS sculpture park

The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation was founded in 2019 on the initiative of The Crown Princess Couple, with the aim of promoting cultural activities in Sweden. The main focus is on creating a permanent sculpture park here on Djurgården, and a new sculpture is added every year. During the summer months, guided tours are organised every day, but of course you can experience the exciting works of art on your own. Stop by the Royal Djurgården Visitor Centre, pick up a map and information about both sculptors and works, it will be an exciting part of the walk.

The Viking Museum

On 28 December, you can join in the celebration of the Museum’s annual Midwinter Blot. At a blot, the gods are thanked for the past year. The Blot begins with a themed tour of the exhibition at 15.30, and then continues with a ceremony outside the museum. You won’t want to miss this, and of course you can take part in the ceremony without going to the museum.
