Gröna Lund
Theme park on the Stockholm waterfront
On the island of Djurgården, right in the middle of Stockholm, you'll find Gröna Lund. The park has been around since 1883 and sits right on the water. Here you can combine thrilling roller coasters and towering drop towers with views over the city, summer concerts and gentle rides for the little ones.
What is Gröna Lund?
Gröna Lund (often simply called Grönan in Stockholm) is a compact park on the shore of Djurgården, between the museums and the water. It belongs to Parks and Resorts, together with Kolmården, Furuvik and Skara Sommarland. You'll find roller coasters, drop towers and swing rides, a haunted house, the fun house Lustiga Huset, the games of the 5-kamp (pentathlon) and a dance floor. In summer, artists play around fifty concerts during Grönan Live; these are included in the admission price.
Please note: admission and rides are separate. You pay for a ride with coupons that you buy in the park, usually one to four per ride. With the Guldkortet season pass you can ride as much as you like all season. New in 2026 is Spindeln, a Super Jumper and the first of its kind in Sweden.

With children
For young children there's Lilla Området, the park's small area. Here they can ride the children's coaster Nyckelpigan (no height requirement with an adult, on their own from 120 cm), the train Tuff-Tuff Tåget (on their own from 90 cm) and the Flygande elefanterna. In Pettson och Findus Värld they play in the world of the Swedish children's books; this is included in the admission price. The new Spindeln is open to children from 100 cm and 4 years with an adult.
Children aged 2 and under ride free with a paying adult. In winter only Barnens Jul is open: a Christmas celebration in Lilla Området with Father Christmas, shows and children's rides, on 19 days between 21 November and 30 December 2026 (10 am to 4 pm).
Opening times:

Food, shops and accommodation
Gröna Lund has plenty of restaurants and food stalls. You can eat burgers at Hekto Pontonen on the waterfront, nachos and tacos at Mexican Corner and pizza at Slice & Fries. At the Biergarten you'll get sausages, schnitzel and beer. Restaurant Terrassen offers a lovely view over the water. All restaurants serve vegetarian dishes and most also have something vegan. On concert nights it's best to book a table in advance.
Gröna Lund doesn't have its own hotel. You can stay at one of the many hotels in Stockholm. From the city centre you can reach the park in a few minutes by tram or ferry.
Travelling to Gröna Lund
Stockholm is a long drive: about 16 hours from Utrecht and about 17 hours from Antwerp, via Hamburg, Copenhagen and the Øresund Bridge. That's why most Dutch and Belgian visitors fly to Stockholm Arlanda. From there the train takes you to Stockholm Central Station.
At the central station, take tram 7 to Djurgården; according to the park the journey takes about ten minutes. Bus 67 from Karlaplan also stops at the park. More fun is the ferry from Slussen: in about eight minutes you cross to Djurgården. If you do come by car, park in the Garnisonen car park (on summer opening days and during Halloween 50 SEK on weekdays from 5 pm and 100 SEK at weekends, as of November 2026).
Our tips:
- Come by ferry
- Watch out for concert nights
- Coupons or Guldkortet
Tips for your visit
A ferry trip from Slussen is the nicest way to start your day. On evenings with a big concert it gets busy: arrive in good time and expect Eclipse to be closed. You buy coupons in the park. If you want to come often throughout the season, the Guldkortet is an option.
