Djurgården

Djurgården is a glorious island used mostly for recreational purposes whose full Swedish name means «royal game park.» It’s directly adjacent to central Stockholm and can be accessed easily by foot or via tram 7.
The island boasts many attractions, whether a number of major museums, many historical landmarks, the Skansen open-​air museum, the Gröna Lund amusement park, or pristine stretches of pathways and forests perfect for walking or biking. You can get a flavor for how beautiful it is by taking a harbor cruise that wraps around the island, or you can hop on and off the tram on your way to one of its many attractions. Definitely a must-​see place while you’re in Stockholm.

Eine der Grünen Lungen von Stockholm. Ob Abba Museum, Vasa Museum, Tivoli, Skansen oder einfach nur Park, jeder findet hier etwas. Zu empfehlen ist eine kleine Rundfahrt mit der Tram

I walked along the water a bit here, but I definitely need to come back. I had originally landed to rent a bike to bike through this, but I ran out of time. Finitely need to do it next time! It’s really pretty and the view is quite good. There aren’t too many people around so it’s quite peaceful. Good to take a stroll through! It’s a bit far from the city center, but take tram 7 (public transportation). It will take you right to the garden.

Djurgarden is a lovely place to walk — except in the dead of winter. But even then the snow is removed nicely from the main paths.
In the spring and summer this place is a paradise. No where on earth is there better weather than in Sweden in the Summer.
I like to walk the entire island with Djurgarden being only one of the places I go there. There are architectural wonders here — as well as museums galleries — a children’s museum devoted to Pippi Longstocking — and even an amusement park.
Great Place to spend the day!

My husband & I had a lovely time exploring this beautiful island covered in snow! We went to the Vasa museum and had fika at Rosendals Trädgård!

A nice park with two sides, one for cycling and walking and the other just for walking. There are docks scattered around where you can lounge under the sun and take a dip in the cool lake. Definitely love jogging here! Be careful in the summer since Canada geese flock to this part of town so watch where you lay your picnic mat. No food for picnic? There are several restaurants in Djurgården you could hang out at. A perfect place to spend a warm, lazy summer day.

Rented bikes and spent the day exploring.

Absolutely loved biking through Djurgarden! Fantastic scenery and very chill /​relaxing! It’s not crowded either unlike a lot of public parks in the U.S. (for example, Central Park in New York is awesome but it’s always relatively chaotic with how many people there are). Loved the mix of streams, the sea, lush forests, gardens, and historical monuments and museums! I especially liked the Rosendal with all the different wildlife and flora.
Definitely a must if you’re visiting Stockholm!

My favourite part of Stockholm. We were staying at Story Hotel in Ostermalm. Djurgarden was a brisk 15 minute walk away. The whole island is a National Park. There are museums, monuments, historical buildings, lakes, art installations and an old Coney Island — like fun fair called Gröna Lund. But the real treat is just to walk and walk and walk. You feel like you are in the deepest country side. Beautiful.
