Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Crowded Gröna Lund Tivoli has some 30 rides, ranging from the tame (a German circus
carousel) to the terrifying (the Free Fall, where you drop from a height of 80m in six
seconds after glimpsing a lovely, if brief, view over Stockholm). There are countless
places to eat and drink in the park, but whether you'll keep anything down is another mat-
ter entirely. The Åkband day pass gives unlimited rides, or individual rides range from
Skr20 to Skr60.
Big-name concerts are often staged here in summer. Gröna Lund is a stop on the
Slussen-Djurgården ferry.
