How to get the most value out of The Stockholm Go City Pass
Djurgården's museums are close together, so one island day can cover a 1-day pass.
| Don't | Do this instead |
|---|---|
| Do Djurgården sights on different days | The Vasa Museum, Skansen and Nordiska Museet are all on Djurgården, and all on the pass. Group them. |
| Skip the boats | Boat tours and hop-on hop-off boats are included and are the best way to see Stockholm. |
| Arrive at Skansen late in winter | From 8 November, Skansen closes at 3 pm on weekdays and 4 pm at weekends. Do it first on your Djurgården day. |
| Rush the Vasa Museum | The museum suggests about 90 minutes, and 10 to 11 am is the quietest hour in our data. |
| Visit the Vasa Museum at midday | It's busiest late morning. Go at opening. |
| Walk between the islands | Use the hop-on hop-off boat; it's on the pass. |
| Head to the Vasa Museum without checking how busy it is | Check the Vasa Museum's live crowd level on beatthecrowd.co first. If it's busy, do another Stockholm sight on your pass and come back later. |
Before you set off for the Vasa Museum, check how busy it is right now on beatthecrowd.co. An hour in a queue is an hour of your pass gone.
