From the Stockholm city areas Östermalm and Strandvägen, where you can get off the tram, you will reach the island of Djurgården via the bridge Djurgårdsbron. It was built in 1897 and the decoration shows sculptured old gods and beautiful cast iron railings.

Anyone who has ever taken a walk over the bridge into Djurgården knows how quickly the atmosphere changes from Stockholm's busy city life to serene Scandinavian nature and relaxed fun times. Take your time crossing the bridge as we continue our walking tour...
