What is it?
An island in Stockholm that’s a must-do when you’re visiting the city.
Is it worth visiting?
Like museums? You’re in the right place. This island is where you’ll find ABBA The Museum, which combines nostalgic memorabilia with quirky interactive exhibits, Vasa Museum, which is home to a giant 17th century salvaged ship, and the open-air Skansen, visitors can stroll through five centuries of Swedish houses and farmsteads and observe wild Nordic animals.
Where is Djurgården and how do I get there?
Although Djurgården is easy to access from the city centre by tram or on foot, it’s well worth hopping on a public ferry from Slussen (you can use a regular SL transport card), for dazzling views across Stockholm’s historic Old Town and the capital’s most expensive, yacht-packed street, Strandvägen.
Time Out tip
Food options on Djurgården are pricey and there’s no proper supermarket. Pack a picnic and tuck in on the waterfront behind the Vasa Museum, or find a spot off one of the grassy trails.
