Turn right after Djurgårdsbron and you will be in the park Galärparken. In the park you will find some of the foremost attractions in Stockholm including Junibacken. In connection with the church in Galärparken you can visit a monument honoring the victims of the Estonia catastrophe in September 1994.

Let's continue the walking tour by passing the Liljevalchs Art Gallery, Aquaria Water Museum, the theme park Grona Lund and the world famous Skansen Open Air Museum, many of which are on the list of the top 10 things to do in Stockholm.

Now you will start to see Djurgårdsstaden (the city of Djurgården) behind Grona Lund. Historic wooden buildings from the 18th century still stand here and have been modernized and converted into private residences.
