According to the official website, the pass could save you hundreds of kronor on a multi-day trip \u2014 but is it actually worth buying? And does it make sense for the average visitor? We took a closer look.<\/p>\n What is the Stockholm Pass?<\/p>\n The Stockholm Pass is a digital sightseeing pass that gives you entry to a range of attractions and tours through an app on your phone. You can now choose between the All-Inclusive Pass, which covers as many included attractions as you can visit over a set number of days, or the Essentials Pass, which lets you pick three top attractions.<\/p>\n Simply show the pass at participating sights and scan it on arrival. Your pass activates when you use it for the first time, and once downloaded, it can be accessed offline. Handy if you\u2019d rather not rely on mobile data while exploring the city.<\/p>\n Get the Stockholm Pass here<\/a><\/p>\n What\u2019s included with the pass?<\/p>\n The Stockholm Pass includes free admission to some of the city\u2019s top attractions<\/a>. This gives you a good opportunity to cram in lots of sightseeing without worrying about what it costs to get into each attraction.<\/p>\n If you only want to visit a handful of highlights, the newer Essentials Pass may be a better fit. It includes entry to one headline attraction (The Vasa Museum, The Royal Palace or Skansen), plus two more choices from a selected list of top sights.<\/p>\n Some of our favourite places you can access for free with the pass:<\/p>\n Vasa Museum<\/p>\n The Viking Museum<\/p>\n Nobel Prize Museum<\/p>\n Vaxholm Fortress Museum (summer only)<\/p>\n Skansen open-air museum<\/p>\n Nordic Museum<\/p>\n Storkyrkan Cathedral<\/p>\n Tekniska, the\u00a0National Museum of Science and Technology<\/p>\n Fotografiska<\/p>\n Birka Viking City and boat trip (seasonal)<\/p>\n Artipelag art gallery<\/p>\n And many more<\/p>\n The pass also gives you free access to some of Stockholm\u2019s most popular bus and boat tours, including:<\/p>\n Stockholm highlights boat tour (seasonal)<\/p>\n Boat trip to Drottningholm Palace (seasonal)<\/p>\n Hop-on, hop-off boat tour (seasonal)<\/p>\n Hop-on, hop-off bus tours<\/p>\n Royal Djurg\u00e5rden Boat Tour(seasonal)<\/p>\n As well as boat trips and major sights, the pass also includes a traditional Swedish fika at Systrarna Andersson<\/a>, where you can enjoy tea or coffee with a bun of your choice, a kayak or SUP adventure<\/a>, and a ride in the SkyView glass gondola <\/a>for sweeping views across Stockholm.<\/p>\n You can see a full list of the included attractions on the\u00a0Stockholm Pass website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Does the Stockholm Pass include public transport?<\/p>\n The pass does not cover public transport. However, it includes a hop-on, hop-off bus tour around the city center that stops by most major sights. Because you can get on and off when and where you like, they\u2019re both good ways to see most of the city\u2019s main sights.<\/p>\n How much does the Stockholm Pass cost?<\/p>\n There are several different versions of the pass, with validity periods of\u00a0between one and five days.\u00a0Passes are available on the Stockholm Pass website<\/a>. <\/p>\n We\u2019ve given the full prices below, but the website often runs special offers, with discounts of around ten percent.

The Stockholm Pass no longer has a maximum value cap. You can visit as many included attractions as you like during the validity period of your pass\u2014no need to worry about hitting a spending limit. Just make sure your pass is still valid in terms of time (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 consecutive days), and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n For the latest Stockholm Pass prices and full ticket details, check the official FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n What\u2019s new for 2026?\u00a0<\/p>\n Each year new attractions are added to the Stockholm Pass and a few are dropped. In 2026, Go City introduced a new Essentials Pass for visitors who only want to see a few headline attractions, alongside the traditional All-Inclusive Pass.<\/p>\n Recent additions to the Stockholm Pass include:<\/p>\n Gr\u00f6na Lund Amusement Park<\/a> \u2013 a thrilling experience in the heart of Stockholm <\/p>\n Kayak\/SUP rental <\/a>to paddle around the city\u2019s waterways at your own pace.<\/p>\n Vrak \u2013 Museum of Wrecks<\/a>, exploring shipwrecks beneath the Baltic Sea<\/p>\n Free extras like a drink at the Stockholm Icebar<\/a> and traditional Swedish fika (coffee and cinnamon bun) <\/p>\n The Museum of Spirits<\/a>, including the Absolut Art Collection <\/p>\n A self-guided Murder Mystery walk<\/a> where you follow clues around the Old Town\u2019s cobbled streets and catch a murderer!<\/p>\n Entry to both the Royal Palace and Drottningholm Palace, now included with the pass. Both can also be seen from the outside on boat trips that are included in the pass.<\/p>\n Top tips for getting the very most out of the Stockholm Pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n Check the website for discounts. The pass is sold at a discount at various points throughout the year \u2013 often in spring and autumn. So check the website and buy the pass when it\u2019s on sale, as you have up to two years after purchase to use it.<\/p>\n Make an itinerary. If you\u2019re on a short trip, you\u2019ll want to cram in as much as possible, so plan a logical route round all the sights you want to visit.<\/p>\n Check opening hours and closing days in advance. Some sights are closed one day a week, while others stay open late on certain evenings, so check websites and plan accordingly.<\/p>\n Prioritise! Don\u2019t go in overdrive and try and fit everything in. Do your research, choose which places are top of your list and visit them first, in case you run out of time.<\/p>\n Take advantage of the food and drink offers. The card includes coffee and a bun, plus a drink at the Icebar, so factor these into your meal times.<\/p>\n Use the evenings. In summer, Stockholm stays light late, so plan an evening kayak trip or boat trip.<\/p>\n So is it really worth buying?<\/p>\n Yes, the Stockholm Pass can be worth buying, especially if you\u2019re visiting for the first time and plan to see several museums, sights and tours in a short space of time. In that case, the All-Inclusive Pass may save you money and lets you skip buying separate tickets at each attraction.<\/p>\n If you only want to visit a few headline attractions, the newer Essentials Pass is often the better option, as it covers three top sights without the higher cost of the full pass.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if you\u2019re planning to spend most of your trip wandering neighbourhoods, eating, shopping, relaxing in parks or beaches, and soaking up the atmosphere, neither pass may be necessary.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worth noting that not every major attraction is included. The ABBA The Museum, for example, still requires a separate ticket. The\u00a0Abba Museum<\/a>, for example, still requires a separate ticket. But you can skip the queues and buy a\u00a0fast-track admission ticket here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Our advice? Check what you most want to see in Stockholm, compare the included attractions, and then decide whether either pass will actually save you money.<\/p>\n Three days in Stockholm: would you save cash?<\/p>\n We\u2019ve added some of the real must-see attractions that are included with the pass, such as the Vasa Museet<\/a> and Skansen, along with a couple of smaller fun sights and tours.<\/p>\n The DIY option3-day Stockholm PassUpfront costn\/a1699Stockholm Highlights boat tour385n\/aEntry to Skansen305n\/aTrip on SkyView Stockholm180n\/aEntry to Vasa Museum240n\/aEntry to Fotografiska195n\/aDrink at the Icebar280n\/aCruise on Lake M\u00e4laren to Sigtuna495n\/aHop-on, hop-off bus tour365n\/aTotal cost (SEK)24451699Costs (in Swedish kronor)\u00a0are for one adult and assume a three-day trip to Stockholm. All prices correct at time of publication.<\/p>\n If you visited these attractions during a three-day stay you would spend 2445 SEK in total.<\/p>\n So in this example, buying the Stockholm Pass saves you a whopping 776 SEK, and it also gives you the flexibility to add in more attractions if you get time.<\/p>\n But of course, results will vary depending on exactly what you want to see.<\/p>\n The Stockholm Pass: is it worth it?<\/p>\n Is the Stockholm Pass actually worth buying? Yes. If you\u2019re planning to do a lot of sightseeing, plus a few fun tours and activities,\u00a0you could save a lot of cash by getting the Stockholm Pass. <\/p>\n The best advice we can give is to work out exactly what you want to see and then add up the totals, just like we did above.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re doing a fair bit of museum hopping and want to check out big must-see attractions like the Vasa Museum, you\u2019ll probably find that it\u2019s much cheaper to buy the Stockholm Pass rather than going it alone.<\/p>\n Our take on the Stockholm Pass<\/p>\n We\u2019ve been updating this post since 2016, and will continue to do so.<\/p>\n We\u2019re aware that buying an all-inclusive pass in advance is a big outlay, and not everyone wants to spend their trip cramming in the sights.\u00a0<\/p>\n But we also know that money can run away with you when you\u2019re on holiday, and there\u2019s a huge sense of liberation when you\u2019ve bought and paid for all your entertainment in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n So, we will continue to update this post and assess the value of buying the Stockholm Pass each year.\u00a0<\/p>\n And we will always share our honest opinion on whether we think the pass is worth buying.<\/p>\n GET THE STOCKHOLM PASS<\/a><\/p>\n FAQ<\/p>\n Can you get a 7-day version of the Stockholm Pass?<\/p>\n The Stockholm Pass comes in one-, two-, three-, four- and five-day versions. If you want the pass for a full week, you can always buy a five- and a two-day version.<\/p>\n What\u2019s the difference between the Stockholm Card and Stockholm Pass?<\/p>\n The short answer is nothing! They are the same thing. The Stockholm Card is the old name for the Go City Stockholm Pass.<\/p>\n What is the Essentials Pass?<\/p>\n There\u2019s also a newer option called the Essentials Pass.<\/p>\n This is a good choice if you only want to visit a few of Stockholm\u2019s top attractions rather than pack lots of sightseeing into a couple of days. You choose three attractions in total: one headline sight (such as the Vasa Museum, Royal Palace or Skansen) plus two more from a selected list.<\/p>\n Like the All-Inclusive Pass, it works through the Go City app and activates when you use it for the first time.<\/p>\n Is Drottningholm Palace included in the Stockholm Pass?<\/p>\n Yes, admission to Drottningholm Palace is included, as is entrance to the Chinese Pavilion at Drottningholm Palace plus a guided tour of the Drottningholm Court Theatre.<\/p>\n The boat trip to the palace along Lake M\u00e4laren is also free with the Stockholm Pass.<\/p>\n Is Moderna Museet included in the Stockholm Pass?<\/p>\n No, the admission fee for Moderna Museet\u2019s permanent collection is 170 SEK (online 160 SEK\u00b0 though entrance is free for everyone on Fridays from 6\u20138pm.<\/p>\n Is the Stockholm Pass refundable?\u00a0<\/p>\n What if my plans change? Can I get my money back once I\u2019ve bought the pass? Provided you haven\u2019t activated your pass, you can get a full refund up to 30 days after the date you purchased the pass. So, there are no worries if your plans change. <\/p>\n Can I visit the same attraction more than once?<\/p>\n No, once you\u2019ve scanned your pass at an attraction, you can\u2019t revisit it.<\/p>\n Final thoughts <\/p>\n Whether the Stockholm Go City Pass is worth it really depends on how you like to travel. If you enjoy visiting several attractions in a short time, the All-Inclusive Pass can offer solid value, while the Essentials Pass is better for a lighter sightseeing plan.<\/p>\n If you prefer wandering neighbourhoods, enjoying caf\u00e9s and exploring at your own pace, you may be better off buying tickets separately. Either way, it\u2019s worth comparing the included attractions before you book.<\/p>\n See also: ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ana-borquez-uF4PfwZPOR8-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\")
