RED Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off Bus & Boot + Openluchtmuseum Skansen

The ticket includes pop on sightseeing bus and boat lines. It was convenient and worthy. Good experience!

Wow wow wow vart ska jag börja? Sedan jag köpte min biljett utav Johan på slottskajen fram tills jag gick av bussen är det här bästa upplevelsen gällande sightseeing. Sebastian gav en fantastisk resa som jag sent kommer att glömma, hans glöd och engagemang. Rekommenderar starkt om du besöker Stockholm!

Notre séjour à Stockholm a été marqué par le circuit proposé par Red Sightseeing; il nous a permis de connaître tous les points d'intérêt de la ville, et même de prendre le bateau en plus du bus. Nous avions des poussettes ce qui n'a pas posé problème puisque des coins sont prévus à cet effet. Un grand merci à IK grâce à qui j'ai pu récupérer mon portable oublié dans un des bus 🤞, encore merci pour ta patience et ton aide !! Laurie et bébé Meïze (comme Amazing 😉)

I had a great time on both the boat and bus. All the staff were nice and helpful, especially Sofia.

Historisch, verassend, boeiend, aangenaam, genieten

Vasa museum bezocht alwaar een oorlogsboot /piratenschip uit 1620 tentoongesteld staat, vervolgens in de nabije buurt een restaurantje bezocht nabij het ABBA-museum en nadien naar Skagen het openluchtmuseum, dierentuin en pretpark bezocht, een must voor wie van ambachten houdt want er waren demonstraties op dat moment, ook Ganla Stan bezocht, helaas geen tijd om het techniekmuseum te bezoeken en ook niet naar moderne kunstmuseum gaan kijken maar ik ga nog zeker terug. Op de 17 daagse rondreis heb ik maar op een dag regen gehad maar er zijn genoeg musea om te schuilen.

Goed beeld van historisch Zweden

Een mooi openluchtmuseum van Zweden. Verschillende mooie huizen, boerderijen en kerken zijn afgebroken en hier weer terug gebouwd in de originele staat. Jammer wel dat er maar relatief weinig huizen open zijn om te bekijken. Verder had het ook leuk geweest als er ook oude ambachten uitgevoerd werden (nu waren dit maar een enkel geval). Wat wel heel leuk was dat er ook een dierentuin geïntegreerd was in dit park. Met de bruine beren kooi misschien wel als hoogtepunt.

Leuk museum.

Dit openluchtmuseum is eigenlijk een mix van een dierenpark, historische gebouwen en een speeltuin. Tijdens ons bezoek was het park in kerstsfeer met de mogelijkheid om een concert bij te wonen i.v.m. het Lucia feest. Verder veel oude ambachten en het personeel staat je graag te woord om alles uit te leggen in perfect Engels.

1-2 Hours??? No way!!! Plan to spend 3-5 hours.

We visited Skansen as a family with a 20 year old son. It was September after the summer season, so not all the interpretive areas / shops were open. So we were a little bummed about that. There’s some room for improvement at Skansen. It’s an amazing and unique experience but many of the structures do not have any signs about age or location. For international travelers we don’t know the areas the homes came from so a regional map on signs would be helpful. More information about the conception of the park and its founder would be interesting to learn as well. It would be helpful to highlight the “Do not Miss” buildings so those with shorter time to spend could hit the best structures and not feel like they missed the important things. If you love architecture/ history then this is the place for you. Buildings date from the 13th century forward. It’s laid out geographically and somewhat chronologically. If you have small children they have a kids area, small zoo and science center. The interpreters we talked to were very happy to share their knowledge and pleasant.

Family Day VIsit

This place is quite expansive and has many small tours at varying locations throughout the day. Total time here can be half a day or a full day given how much there is to see. There are also a few restaurant options located throughout and at the southern entrance.

This is what Sweden looks like!

We went to the open air museum The Skansen and it was lovely! There are so many cute bakeries and small shops, houses, gardens and stuff to do. All staff members are really helpful and authentic. It is like a fairy tale and as back in the old days. We especially loved the huge animal section, representing all the Nordic animals. Impressive!

Superbe

Selon nous notre meilleur visite, grand parc ou l'on peut se promener, avec bâtisse d'époque, tout est calme. Il y a même un parc animalier et un aquarium franchement on a adoré

Great visit

Take the tram 7 to get there but be warned it fills up quick especially the later you go. Opens up at 10am but think I got there around 11am and spent all day there. Lots of walking, ups and downs, places to rest and enjoy. Several places have times of fairy tell readings or demonstrations to learn more about that particular era and which area of Sweden it is referring too. There are places to purchase food and drink and bathrooms. Great family atmosphere. I believe I seen a few dogs so they are allowed as well. Credit cards primary choice of payment for nearly all of Stockholm is cashless.

Ruheoase

Skansen lässt einen in das alte Schweden eintauchen. Die alten Häuschen sind meist liebevoll gepflegt und endlich konnten wir eine Elchkuh live erleben. Sogar mit Kälbchen. - Ein großer Kontrast zur sonstigen Stadt.

First trip to Stockholm, and Ed Sheeran

Open air museum and a zoo, mostly just the zoo. It has reindeer, magical reindeer. And their close relatives, the moose.

Great place for kids

Nice amusement park detailing some of the older buildings and experiences of the Swedish people before the world wars. More geared towards children but still a great experience

Per passare una piacevole giornata

Sicuramente adatto a trascorrere alcune ore piacevoli in mezzo al verde. Gli animali sembrano tenuti bene, anche se spero che quelli selvatici vengano periodicamente reinseriti nel loro ambiente.

Skansen. Ein Besuch wert

Der Park ist weitläufig. Es gibt viel zu entdecken, wie sie früher gelebt haben und heimische Tiere zu beobachten. Auch fürs leibliche Wohl ist gesorgt. Für kleinere Kinder gibt es noch Karussells. Man kann auch noch das Aquarium besuchen, ist allerdings nicht im Ticketpreis enthalten. Man kommt bequem mit der Tram oder Hop on Bus an.

Perfect for a whole day out.

Love this place and spend a whole day every time I go to Stockholm. Would recommend as you get to see and live the history of Sweden and meet some really cool people in the museum who are happy to show you around and explain the exhibit. Good places for food s well as entertainment. Plenty to do for kids of all ages.

Sehr traditionell und originell

Das Freilichtmuseum zeigt verschiedene Handwerkskünste. Ausserdem gibt es verschiedene traditionell eingerichtete Häuser, in denen Mitarbeiter des Parks in Originalkleidern die damalige Zeit erklären. Wir konnten sogar 3 Musikern bei einem kleinen Konzert zuhören. Im nördlichen Teil gibt es noch einen Tierpark mit nordischen Tieren. Die Tiere werden in grossen Gehegen gehalten und haben alles, was sie brauchen. Am Eingang gibt es ein Aquarium, bei welchem der Eintritt jedoch separat bezahlt werden muss.

Wonderful day in Skansen

We allocated almost a full day to visiting Skansen and we still didn’t manage to see everything. As adults, we enjoyed the time spent outdoors, the little live portraits of rural Sweden and just the stillness, beauty and peace of it all. The kiddo enjoyed the Nordic animals section and trying to talk to squirrels on the way. All around, it was a nice experience. We weren’t able to visit the aquarium, as you have to pay a separate fee to enter and on the day of our visit there was a technological issue with card payment. You could only pay cash in crowns and there was no exchange office around.

Piacevole scoperta

museo all'aperto storico. si trascorre una giornata intera, ideale per i bambini, sono presenti molti animali, un vero e proprio zoo, tante fattoria dell'epoca, centri ricreativi zone picnic e tanto altro. Da non perdere.

Love Skansen

We love Skansen, have been so many times, and always see a new bit. This time the bears were awake and swimming. The children love seeing the familiar parts and discovering new parts. Nice to see a wedding going on, too. Enjoyed the funicular.

Skansen e fuje

Parco naturale in cui vale la pena trascorrere qualche ora se si è nei paraggi perché oltre a diversi tipi di animali (alcuni dei quali purtroppo non si vedevano), è possibile anche vedere le abitazioni tipiche svedesi come per esempio scuole, fattorie etc.

Musée en plein aire avec des animaux idéal pour les enfants / great for children

Skansen, sous un soleil radieux, est une expérience inoubliable. Ce musée en plein air offre une journée à la fois instructive et divertissante. J’ai eu la chance de voir tous les animaux, qui semblent bien traités malgré le fait qu’il s’agisse d’un zoo. Le cadre naturel et les bonnes conditions de vie des animaux font toute la différence. Entre culture, nature et découverte, Skansen est une visite enrichissante, parfaite pour profiter du plein air tout en apprenant. Skansen, on a sunny day, is an unforgettable experience. This open-air museum offers a day that is both educational and enjoyable. I was lucky enough to see all the animals, which seem well cared for, despite it being a zoo. The natural setting and good living conditions for the animals make all the difference. Between culture, nature, and discovery, Skansen is an enriching visit, perfect for enjoying the outdoors while learning.

BEST THING TO DO IN STOCKHOLM - MUST SEE

I absolutely loved this attraction. It is a cross-over between a zoo, a garden, and a historical village. The replicas of towns and Swedish life from years ago really piqued my interest as a history fan. They had staff dressed in traditional dress giving descriptions of the milk store and houses - these were done very well and very informative. All my questions were answered. The glass-blowing shop was cool to see. The bakery had delish fresh pastries. The zoo has animals specific to the Nordics, which as a visitor was very cool to see. There are also beautiful overlooks of the city and a lovely garden to walk through with statutes. They had artisan pop-up stores where artists sold their work - I picked up a lovely pair of earrings for my mom and I. I was on a school trip and only had 2 hours here, I would definitely recommend spending 3 - 4 hours here.

Un luogo molto interessante

Una giornata in questo museo bisogna farlo se si é in vacanza in Svezia. É presente un acquario, molti animali come orsi, renne… é un po di Svezia con strutture storiche

Imprescindible visitar cuando se viaja a Estocolmo

Es un lugar muy excepcional, con personas que realizan las actividades que se llevaban a cabo en este territorio antes de la industrialización (boticaria, ferretero,metalistería, agricultores..), siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. El cariño con que hablan de estos antiguos oficios y el conocimiento que tienen de estos en esa época impresiona. Muy interesante también la reconstrucción de las cabañas y modos de vida de los grupos Sami, muy perseguidos por los cazadores de renos.

Bullerbü-Experience

Eine Reise in eine andere Welt...liebevoll arrangiert und ausgestattet! Alle Angestellten des Parks waren freundlich und super informiert über "ihr" Haus oder "ihren" Laden. Authentische Kostüme, eine tolle Atmosphäre, es hat uns sehr gefallen!

Parque dos mais lindos que já fui - One of the most beautiful parks I've ever been to

Um ambiente enorme, com várias construções antigas,das mais diversas regiões suecas, animais do país (ursos, alces, renas), e muitas outras atrações. Conta com uma simpática área de alimentação, com muitas comidas típicas. Há, inclusive, a opção de subir em um interessante funicular. Lugar que vale demais conhecer, e por ali permanecer por horas e horas. A huge environment, with several old buildings, from the most diverse regions of Sweden, animals from the country (bears, moose, reindeer), and many other attractions. It has a nice food area, with many typical foods. There is even the option of going up on an interesting funicular. A place that is worth visiting, and staying there for hours and hours.

A lovely day out

Absolutely loads to see. We really enjoyed exploring all day and learning about Swedish history and animals. An excellent place to spend the day.

Great visit- spend 3 hours

Great visit to this large open-air museum — one of the highlights of our trip to Stockholm. The park is filled with many preserved Swedish buildings that you can pop into and there are takes you back in time to see how people used to work and live. There were also many cute Nordic animals inside. A great place to visit to learn about Sweden. It’s huge so expect to spend at least 3 hours inside.

Spend a day here!

Amazing experience, large beautiful place and it has everything you need when you come with a toddler. Restaurant, zoo, playground and other interactive & interesting attractions.

Skansen och många djur

Skansen är en fin djurpark i Stockholms city. Min dotter på 1 1/2 älskade att kolla på alla djur som fanns där. Dock så var det lite dåligt väder men det fanns bra med stället att ta skydd när regnet kom fram. Tycker dock det är lite dyrt att gå in. Vi parkerade bilen precis utanför och det blev nästan dyrare än att gå in så ett tips för de som tar bilen in att parker Innan bron till Skansen. Finns ett litet tivoli vid akvariet som min dotter älskade men tyvärr så är den inte lika stor som när jag var liten.

Trevlig park

Själva djurparken och husen var roliga att gå och titta på. Djuren såg välmående ut och det kändes som att de gjort sitt för att inte låta besökarna störa djuren mer än nödvändigt. Det som drog ner själva besöket var att de extremt slitna karusellerna kostade 30kr per åktur. Både sniket och tråkigt med tanke på att det inte var särskilt billigt att gå in.

Schönes Freilichtmuseum. Ein Muss für Familien mit Kindern.

Der Ausflug in dieses Freilichtmuseum ist ein Muss für Familien mit Kindern. Man sieht sehr viel über die Geschichte der Schweden und kann diese auch miterleben. Es hat auch einen kleinen Zoo. Für diesen muss man aber extra bezahlen, beinahe so viel wie der Eintritt ins Museum. In diesem Zoo gibt es dann einen Rundgang und man sieht Skelette und muss diese dem entsprechenden Tier zuordnen. Ist auch für Erwachsene noch spannend. Uns hat vor allem die alten Gebäude und das live sehen einer Glasbläserei, einer Schnitzerei, einer mechanischen Fabrik Eindruck gemacht.

Un havre de paix

Un havre de paix dans Stockholm, quel plaisir de partir à sa découverte, mixer un éco musée et un mini zoo est une excellente idée. Acceuil souriant dans les différentes maisons et une envie réelle de nous faire découvrir le mode de vie des Suédois il y a 50 ans et plus. Un incontournable pour une ballade familiale.

A must see when in Stockholm

Go back in time and learn and see the Swedish culture. Museums, glassblowing, dancing, theatre, animals, gardens, aquarium, etc. Very clean and everyone is so friendly. Five STARS.

Nordic nostalgia

In 1972 I was fascinated by Scandinavian history. I finally got to live my little girl memories in the delight that is Skansen. Every corner held a new treasure and I cannot wait to go back and explore some more. I love the feeling of being out in the wild, peaceful countryside but in the heart of Stockholm. Very well put together and well kept. Delightful.

Great outdoor museum

Fabulous outdoor museum and kids zoo. We were presented with a paper map and off we went to explore. So much to see. My husband and I enjoyed chatting in the furniture workshop, engineering workshop and the hardware shop. We saw the moose, bison and wild boar. The elevator and funicular railway saved us some uphill walking. Lots of places to eat. Family friendly. The old buildings are beautiful. Well done on a great museum.

"Wonderful open-air museum and zoo!

Skansen is both an open-air museum and a zoo, showcasing Swedish history with reconstructed farmsteads and historical buildings. There's also a delightful zoo featuring native Scandinavian animals. The live demonstrations and seasonal activities make it engaging for visitors of all ages. Be prepared for a lot of walking, but it's worth every step.

Da non perdere

Posto incantevole per tutta la famiglia! Consiglio di dedicare un'intera giornata a questo bellissimo parco, gli animali che vedrete sono tutti tenuti benissimo, gli orsi hanno uno spazio davvero immenso! Poi c'è l'area dedicata alle case svedesi, sono tutte originali, smontate e trasferite in quest'area con veri artigiani che fanno lavori di legno, vetro ed altro. Veramente consigliatissima

Midsommar at Skansen

My boyfriend and I went to Slansenon Midsommar and despite it being I’m sure more crowded than usual, it was a fantastic place to explore and spend several hours! The actual raising of the maypole was very crowded but once you moved away from that there was plenty of space to spread out and see all there was to see. Very fun to be outdoors on a beautiful day! We did not take the funicular up or down, or is a short walk up, some steps and manageable incline for a short distance. Also no need to wait for the escalator if there’s a line, it is a very short walk up after entering. Note: we did not eat here and there were several long-ish lines at the food vendors. Many people do bring their own food and picnic there though!

A great cultural centre.

A very interesting day out at this wonderful heritage and cultural centre - it is difficult to call it a museum. It's worth taking the funicular to the top to start your visit as this makes it easier to see more of the attractions. There is a lot of walking involved and we didn't have the time to see it all, so we may well go back when we next visit Stockholm. There are lots of places within Skansen to get something to eat or drink and there is ample seating all round the "park".

Uno dei parchi più belli che abbia mai visto

Parco stupendo. Ci vuole la mappa perché è davvero immenso. Si trovano tantissimi animali tra cui alci e orsi. Una giornata da dedicare a Skansen è più che meritata!

Very nice

We visited Skansen in part to avoid the cruise ship crowds at the other museums, so I didn't have high expectations, but we could honestly have stayed all day if time had permitted! Bus 67 brings you from the city center to the front of Skansen. It was much larger than I anticipated, and we visited the Baltic Sea Science Center plus the nordic animals section, as well as the historical sites. There are a lot of farmstead types of sites which are spread out, as well as the town quarter, gardens with city viewpoints and Sami area, so bring comfortable shoes. There are food vendors out front, and the gift shop is very nice.

Sehr empfehlenswert!

Das Skansen Greiluchtmuseum ist ähnlich dem Ballenberg der Schweiz. Mit vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten, Mensvhen in Originalkostümen und einem Tierpark. Es ist eine sehr schöne und gepflegte Anlage.

If Tom Cruise did customer service…

Just leaving Skansen and wanted to thank the new General Manager: he demonstrated a commitment to customer service that reminded me of Tom Cruise in Top Gun. If everyone gets a fraction of the great service I received- the place will thrive under his leadership!

Sehenswert

Scansen ist jedenfalls einen Besuch wert, sehr informativ und bestens gestaltet, garantiert einen abwechslungsreichen Spaziergang durch "Schweden" auch für Kinder zahlreiche Attraktionen

Great place for the families

Initially I had very low expectations from this place but this one surprised me as it is not just a zoo but a lot more. As the name suggests it's an open air museum illustrating the old style of living of Swedish people. How the people used to live, how their houses were. The zoo is also interactive for kids. It also has great views and nice walking trails. Overall something for everyone.

The Nordic Animals bit is amazing

We really enjoyed it here. We hadn't researched it much so had no expectations but were pleasantly surprised. You start by walking through a live historical museum of olde world shops like a glass maker, bakers, iron mungers etc which was pretty interesting and then you move on to the various green spaces, rune stones, and the bit we didn't realise was part of Skansen but loved the most, the Nordic Animals section. We saw 3 very lazy bears, some Lynx, seals and the best bit, some Moose! I'd definitely recommend to anyone young, old, with kids or without.

If you only visit one place in Stockholm, made it Skansen.

I had high expectations for Skansen but it was still much better than I'd expected. If possible, chose to go when the weather is forecast to be good as apart from the Aquarium it's almost all outdoors. The buildings are fascinating, various types including very old buildings and a village with crafts to watch. The Nordic animals are wonderful - we went around twice. We didn't have time to see the Aquarium, pay extra for it. We arrived by 11am and only left at 6pm because they were closing for the day. Don't take my word, just visit. I've been to several re-enactment villages and this is vastly the best.

Für jeden etwas dabei

Eine rießige Freiluftanlage, mit Zoobereich, Stätten für Kindervergnügen, aber auch ruhige Plätze um sich zu erholen. Man sieht einiges über das Leben im alten Stockholm und kann im alten Krog zu Mittag essen. Bei uns war auch eine feine kleine Band, mit schwedischer Musik aus den 30- 40 er Jahren unterwegs, das war sehr schön.

Informative day out

Very interesting museum very much like Beamish or Iron Bridge in UK The houses are amazing and from different time periods in Swedish history. Guides ALL speak English and are happy to chat. lots of walking as its vast and quite hilly, amazing views from the back of the park near the bear enclosure. Set aside the best part of a day to visit and hope for sunny weather as its all outside Entrance opposite the Abba Museum short tram ride from Stockholm City centre

Hin- und hergerissen bei meiner Bewertung

Das Freilichtmuseum führt durch die unterschiedlichen Epochen der schwedisch-skandinavischen Geschichte. Man merkt, dass sich die Betreiber Mühe geben. Viele Gehege dercä Wildtiere waren nicht belegt oder wurden renoviert. Als Frechheit habe ich es empfunden, dass man für das Aquarium auf dem Gelände nochmals Eintritt zahlen muss. Darauf habe ich verzichtet.
