Summer Tips from FamGo

Swim every day — there's always a beach nearby

Stockholm has beaches everywhere. Långholmen, Flaten, Hellasgården and Tantolunden are all close to the city centre. Pack swimwear, sunscreen and a picnic — a summer day by the water costs nothing.

Gröna Lund and Skansen — plan smart

Gröna Lund is open all summer but gets crowded. Go on a weekday before noon for the shortest queues. Skansen has a summer programme with children's activities — check the schedule in advance.

Rainy days happen — have a plan B

Even Stockholm's summer has rain. Museums, swimming pools, trampoline parks and bowling alleys make excellent backup plans. Several museums have free admission for under-18s.

Day trips outside the city

Tyresta National Park (30 min), Artipelag (40 min) and the archipelago ferries offer full-day adventures. Bring a picnic and make a day trip — the kids will remember it.

Kids ride free on public transport

Children under 12 ride free with SL (Stockholm public transport) when accompanied by a paying adult. Perfect for exploring all of Stockholm — bus, subway, tram and commuter ferry.
