Plan your journey and pre-purchase tickets
On Sweden’s National Day, traffic on Djurgården is affected due to the royal motorcade to Skansen. The tram is canceled and so is bus 67. The best way to get to Djurgården this day is on foot, by bike or by ferry (SL) to the Allmänna Gränd stop. Pre-purchase your entry ticket at skansenbiljett.se to get into the park faster.

Before the evening's stage program
All guests will be searched when they enter the stage area at Sollidenplan. To make admission easier, larger baggage should be left at home. No bags larger than 40 x 40 x 20 cm are permitted.
