29/09/2021This Year ASICS Stockholm Marathon decided to host their annually marathon on 9th of October because of the pandemic. The restrictions has disappeared and we can look forward to an event with both spectators on the street and runners who have been practicing for months.
Djurgården is always open for the public and especially when there is a folk festival in town. This is a day you won’t want to miss! Therefore, we have compiled a list of different traffic information and how to best travel to Djurgården on a day like this.
The start is situated right outside the red-brick 1912 Olympic Stadium on wide Lidingövägen. The runners runs through the scenic Djurgården via Djurgårdsbrunnsvägen Manillavägen- Djurgårdsvägen to Strandvägen, Blasieholmen and then via Gamla Stan to Slussen.

Why not take the metro?
Of course, the metro runs as usual, so why not take the red line to Karlaplan or Östermalmstorg and walk the last bit to Djurgården.
How to walk from Östermalmstorg: From Östermalmstorg, go up the stairs that leads to Birger Jarlsgatan. Follow the road down to Berzelii Parken and then follow Strandvägen all the way to Djurgårdsbron. The walk takes about 20 minutes at a normal walking pace. You will be there in no time!
How to walk from Karlaplan: From Karlaplan, go up the stairs that leads to the Karlaplan roundabout. Then follow Narvavägen straight down to Djurgårdsbron. The walk takes about 15 minutes at a normal walking pace. Simple and easy to follow!
Once you’ve reached Djurgårdsbron, you can always continue walking along Strandvägen to Dag Hammarskjölds Väg. It is a 20-minute walk that leads directly to Museiparken (Museum park) outside Tekniska museet, or a 5-minute bike ride if you choose to rent a bike from the Royal Djurgården Visitor Center. The visitor center is to the right, right after Djurgårdsbron.
