Djurgården
A royal park island in Stockholm home to the Vasa Museum, Nordiska museet and Skansen, with a waterside path ideal for walking and cycling.
Djurgården is part of the Royal National City Park and was once a royal hunting ground. Its western side is packed with attractions, including the Vasa Museum, the Nordic Museum, Skansen, ABBA The Museum and the Gröna Lund amusement park. The eastern half is made up of oak woodland, meadows and a waterside path that loops around the island. You can reach it from the old town or Slussen by the Djurgårdsfärjan ferry, or by tram line 7. Bikes can be rented to ride around the island in about 1 to 2 hours, and the Rosendals Trädgård café is very popular. The island is open all day and entry is free.
