Djurgården

Getting around: Djurgården is close to central Stockholm — walkable from Östermalm in about 20 minutes, or take tram 7, bus 67, or the seasonal ferry from Slussen or Nybroplan.
Hours: Open at all times as a park island; individual attractions on it (Skansen, Vasa Museum, ABBA Museum, etc.) each keep their own hours.

Djurgården is a royal park island just east of central Stockholm, home to most of the city's biggest attractions — the Vasa Museum, Skansen, the ABBA Museum, Gröna Lund amusement park, and several other museums — alongside open parkland, forest, and walking paths. It functions as both Stockholm's museum district and its main green escape, easily filling a full day or more.
