Good to know

Are Gröna Lund and Skansen good for the same day?

Yes. They sit side by side on Djurgården, a short walk apart, which is why this itinerary treats them as one relaxed afternoon.

How do you get to Millesgården from central Stockholm?

Take the metro to Ropsten and cross the Lidingö bridge on foot; the museum is the walk that climbs from the water.

Do you need ID to visit the Stockholm Synagogue?

Visits are by guided tour and the door asks for a passport or photo ID, so the family carried theirs on day four.

Can you visit Stockholm's mosque and cathedral in one afternoon?

Yes. Both are central, a short tram ride apart, and each takes under an hour and welcomes quiet visitors.

Can you go inside Haga Palace?

The palace is a private royal residence, so general touring is not offered. Visitors come for Hagaparken around it, whose lake, paths and small pavilions are the real stop, then walk on to the Swedish Museum of Natural History.

Is the Moderna Museet free to visit?

The permanent collection is free to enter; temporary exhibitions are ticketed. The terrace and the walk back across Skeppsholmen are part of the evening.
