Easter Tips from FamGo

Easter weekend + break week = two parts

Easter weekend (April 3–6) is about traditions: egg hunts, Easter crafts, and family time. The break week (April 7–10) is four free days for adventures. Plan them separately — you can fit a lot in!

Book egg hunts and popular venues in advance

Skansen, Millesgården, and Tom Tits Experiment fill up quickly during Easter. Egg hunts on Easter weekend often have limited spots. Arrive early!

Make the most of the spring weather

April in Stockholm can bring sunshine and 10–15°C. Djurgården, Hagaparken, and Tyresta National Park are fantastic in spring. Bring a picnic!

Kids ride free on public transport

Children under 12 ride free on SL (Stockholm’s public transport) when accompanied by a paying adult. Perfect during the break for exploring the city.

Always have an indoor backup plan

April weather is unpredictable. Always have an indoor alternative ready. Swimming pools, trampoline parks, and museums make excellent backup plans.
