Stockholm · DJURGåRDEN ISLAND MUSEUMS
7 reviewed
One green island holds the Vasa, Skansen, the ABBA museum and a royal park, all walkable in a day. Here are the best ways to see Djurgården, with prices, which combine several museums on one ticket, and how to pace it so the kids last until closing.
Skansen in Stockholm brings 400 years of Swedish life to life with 150+ historic buildings, Nordic animals, and seasonal markets. One-day ticket.
“A big open air museum. For a little extra you can ride a tram up the initial big hill. Had a nice lunch there and enjoyed watching the bears and mamma and baby moose.”
Skip-the-Line ticket to the Avicii Experience in Stockholm: a hands-on tribute with audio guide, VR DJ play, and unreleased music.
“This experience was amazing so worth a visit if you are in Stockholm and you liked Avicci's sounds. our children also enjoyed they are 18 & 15. We particularly loved the booth with the VR headset and the room where you could experience being a DJ....I did it twice. The mock ups of Tim's bedroom etc were also fantastic.”

“Museo grande, bello e ricco di pezzi di storia e cultura”
Stockholm’s Royal Djurgården 50-minute canal boat with audio in 11 languages. See Djurgården, Vasa area, and royal sights from water.
“Been on better trips. Not very exciting. Limited commentary, drowned out by the boat engines making it difficult to hear.”
Skip the lines and meet exotic animals at Skansen-Akvariet. Includes entry, plus weekend petting and seasonal lemur walks.
“Akvariet var ok. Men att få betala inträde till Skansens friluftsområde 400kr ( 2 vx 2barn)som vi inte tänkte besöka vintertid tyckte vi kändes onödigt Annars ok”
Private 4–5 hour Stockholm tour: Royal Palace, City Hall, Vasa Museum, Skansen, Gamla Stan and panoramas. Pickup, snacks, Wi‑Fi included.
“Kate and driver Mark were great, she provided the 6 of us information about Stockholm and the Vasa museum. There enough stops in between the driving portion of the tour. The most interesting stops were the city hall where the Nobel prize is awarded and the Vasa ship museum.”
