Guided tour

Join us through the city quarters to learn more about its buildings and the history of Skansen.

  • Start your visit with a guided tour of the city quarters before continuing your day at Skansen. We look at the historical buildings, how they came to Skansen and the crafts they’re associated with. We also step into the Ironmonger’s apartment to see how a family could live in the 1930s.

    On Saturdays and Sundays the tour is held in English at 13.15. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays the tour is held in English and/or Swedish at 11.00.

    The meeting point is above the escalator and the tour is included in your entrance fee. The duration is 30 minutes with maximum 20 participants/tour.
