  • Bag bans and security control

    Note that there is a total ban on bags at Skansen’s stage events, and all audiences are checked upon entering the Solliden area. This applies to all bags, regardless of size, whether transparent or covered. Skansen’s main entrance offers limited bag storage for a cost (SEK 50 per bag). Therefore, we recommend that bags be left at home.
