A new ferry line to and from Djurg\u00e5rden has started. We at Djurg\u00e5rden believe that accessibility to Scandinavia\u2019s most popular visitor destination needs to be improved and therefore seven of our attractions have come together to finance a ferry that goes between Nybroplan and Djurg\u00e5rden for a month during summer 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 28th June to 28th July, Stockholmers and visitors in the city will be able to take the free ferry route between Nybroplan and Allm\u00e4nna Gr\u00e4nd at Djurg\u00e5rden four times per hour in both directions between 10:00 and 16:00. The ferry is free of charge, as the name suggests.<\/p>\n

“<\/em>The accessibility to Djurg\u00e5rden needs to be improved. Stockholm is the island\u2019s city and there is plenty of space for more boat traffic. Through our initiative, we want to draw attention to it and at the same time be able to offer our visitors a smooth and beautiful trip to Djurg\u00e5rden“<\/em>, says Camilla Zedendahl, CEO of the Royal Djurg\u00e5rden Society.<\/p>\n

Over one million visitors will visit Gr\u00f6na Lund, Pop House, Liljevalchs, the Vasa Museum and Skansen during the month of July. At the same time, as many visitors are expected to enjoy a walk, picnic or visit to any of the other attractions, museums or restaurants in Djurg\u00e5rden. During this period, the existing means of transport reach the capacity of Djurg\u00e5rden.<\/p>\n

“We cooperate around sustainability and have a vision of a car-free Djurg\u00e5rden. Together, we advocate a lot of wise ways to get here. The problem is that they are not enough. The new ferry will be our contribution”, says Camilla Zedendahl. “Now we want to show that there is room for more transport options. And in a city like Stockholm, the waterways should be an obvious alternative”.<\/p>\n

“This is a welcome addition for travel, human life and movement in Stockholm’s transport network. An addition that I am very happy to see become a reality, not least since we need more initiatives alongside the regular public transport. I would therefore like to extend my sincere thanks to all those who have contributed to making this happen, from the initial thought process to the running of the line today. We need more of these types of collaborations and elements in a growing Stockholm region”, says Kristoffer Tamsons, traffic region council and chair of SL.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe free ferry to Djurg\u00e5rden\u201d is run by M \/ S Djurg\u00e5rden 4 and M \/ S Djurg\u00e5rden 7 and is jointly financed by Gr\u00f6na Lund, Pop House Sweden, Liljevalchs, Vasamuseet, Skansen, Str\u00f6mma Sweden and the Royal Djurg\u00e5rden administration. The two ferries can carry up to 98 guests each, and will make 48 trips per day.<\/p>\n

The Royal Djurg\u00e5rden Society strives for a long-term sustainable development of Djurg\u00e5rden. The free ferry also improves access to the Royal National City Park. As Scandinavia\u2019s most-visited tourist destination, Djurg\u00e5rden is important for Stockholmers, tourists and the tourism industry as a whole.<\/p>\n
