Djurgården waterfront paths

Trade the city centre for woodland, open parkland and long waterside paths on Djurgården.

What to expect

Djurgården is a large island of parkland, woodland and shore paths within the Royal National City Park. A short visit can focus on one stretch of waterfront; crossing the island takes longer, and museums and major attractions are dotted along the way. The green route is a useful change of pace from Stockholm's central stone streets, with the water and tree cover shaping the walk.
