We took a bus to the far east of the island, and walked along the banks as far as Skansen museum, about 3 km. There was heavy snow, and the whole walk was wonderfully atmospheric. And a range of good places to warm up and eat or drink at the end near Skansen.
Takes about an hour to walk around the lake which at this time of year was quite bare . Good place to walk off the excellent Swedish food

There are quite a few famous museums there, historical, technical, nautical, the Vasa museum - and of course Skansen, a combined zoo and museum of swedish buildings and peasant life.Djurgarden also hosts the amusement park Grona Lund, often with world famous stars on its stage.Some of the richest families in Sweden have their homes there, for instance Benny Andersson, famous song writer, former with ABBA.The late prince Bertil also had his home thare. There are also quite a few restaurant, among them the most famous of them all - The Oaxen, quartered in an old shipyard.In short - there is a lot to see and do in Djurgarden.Martin Martinesco
The island of Djurgarden is a great area to take a walk after visting the Vasa Museum or Skansen (or both!) It's easy to forget you're in the middle of a major city when walking around the tranquil parkland.
Djurgården is a breathtaking place to visit for young and old, especially during summer. Take a boat or simply go for a stroll through this beautiful scenery. A must see while visiting Stockholm!
This is the place everyone should visit when they are in Sweden. It is best in the summer time, because they have concerts. This year lots of big artist.
Great place for a walk especially if the sun is out. Well maintained when it snows so it is a park for all seasons.
