Gröna Lund is Sweden's oldest amusement park, set on the waterfront of Djurgården island in central Stockholm and welcoming visitors since 1883. Packed into a compact site are more than 30 attractions, including seven roller coasters, and on summer evenings the Stora Scen main stage hosts the 'Grönan Live' concert series that turns the whole park into a festival. The 2026 season runs from late April into September and adds a brand-new attraction, Spindeln (The Spider) — billed as Sweden's first 'Super Jumper' family ride. Perched over the harbour, the park even lets you look out over the Stockholm skyline from one of the world's tallest swing rides.
Eclipse: a roughly 121 m tall StarFlyer swing ride, marketed as the world's tallest when it opened; the views over Stockholm's harbour and Old Town are the real draw
Monster: a 2021 Bolliger & Mabillard dive coaster with four inversions and speeds up to 90 km/h — the park's signature thrill
Heritage rides such as the 1883 Circus Carousel and the 1917 Tunnel of Love, preserved from the park's earliest years
The 'Grönan Live' summer concert series — dozens of shows across the season, mostly included with park admission
New for 2026: Spindeln (The Spider) plus fresh content like K-Street and The Gnoots
Good to know
SeasonThis is an open-air, seasonal park. It typically operates only from late April through September and closes for winter, so an off-season visit would be a wasted trip.
SeasonEven in high season some days are closed and hours change daily — always check the official calendar (gronalund.com/kalender) for that day's opening before you go. Stockholm summers have very long daylight (near 'white nights'), but evenings turn cool, so bring a light jacket.
RulesThe ticketing model differs from many countries: there are ride passes (unlimited rides), season cards (e.g. Gröna Kortet), or an entrance-plus-coupon option, and thrill rides carry height and health restrictions. Prices and pass structures change — confirm the latest on the official tickets page.
CautionPickpockets operate around Djurgården and on crowded ferries and trams, especially on concert nights. Wear bags in front and keep your phone and wallet out of open outer pockets.
MannersSweden is an almost fully card- and mobile-payment (Swish) society; many places take no cash, so bring a credit/debit card. Tipping is not required or expected, and orderly queuing is the norm — don't jump lines.
SafetyAfter a 2023 accident, the old wooden coaster Jetline was permanently removed. Current rides are safe, but always double-check restraints, follow staff instructions, and watch your footing in dense concert crowds.
Practical info
On Djurgården island, reach it by tram 7 from T-Centralen (about 10 min), the Djurgården ferry from Slussen (about 8 min; valid with an SL zone A travelcard), or bus 67 from Karlaplan. On concert nights the ferry and tram get very crowded, so the park suggests the Metro red line to Karlaplan plus bus 67, or walking. The 2026 season runs from late April into September; always confirm daily opening hours, prices and ticket types on the official calendar and tickets pages for the latest information.
