Stockholm ticket comparison

Stockholm City Cards tickets 2026: official vs resellers, combo deals & insider tips

Compare the All-Inclusive Pass for high-intensity sightseeing against the Essentials Pass if you only plan to visit three major highlights like the Vasa Museum or Royal Palace. Be aware that Stockholm city cards in 2026 exclude public transport (SL) and ABBA The Museum, and the All-Inclusive version operates on consecutive calendar days rather than flexible 24-hour slots.

Buying guide

Not sure which ticket to choose?

For travelers visiting multiple high-cost sites like the Vasa Museum and the Royal Palace, the All-Inclusive Pass (Go City) is the most cost-effective choice. If you prefer a structured historical narrative of the medieval center, a dedicated tour with an authorized guide provides expert depth that a self-guided pass lacks.

Before checkout

What is often not included

The Stockholm All-Inclusive Pass (Go City) does not include SL public transport; metro, commuter train, and local bus fares must be purchased separately via the SL app or a contactless payment card.
Strömma boat tours cannot be pre-booked online with a city pass; you must visit a physical Strömma ticket kiosk on the day of your tour to secure a timed boarding pass, which can lead to long waits or sold-out slots during peak June hours.
The All-Inclusive Pass operates on consecutive calendar days, but the Explorer (Essentials) Pass is valid for 60 days from your first scan, allowing for a much slower sightseeing pace.
While the pass covers admission, it does not bypass mandatory security screenings at high-profile sites like the Royal Palace or the Vasa Museum, where queues can exceed 30 minutes in the summer.
Many included boat routes and specific sites, such as the Vaxholm Fortress Museum or the Chinese Pavilion at Drottningholm, are seasonal and may have limited schedules or closures even during the June travel window.
Most city cards allow only one entry per attraction; you cannot re-enter a museum on a subsequent day of your pass validity once your barcode has been scanned there.
The Royal Palace and certain state rooms may close without prior notice for official government receptions or royal events; always check the 'Kungliga Slotten' official calendar on the morning of your visit.

Insider tips

4 things to know before your visit

Entrance: For boat tours, you must visit a Strömma ticket kiosk (at Nybroviken or Södra Blasieholmshamnen) on the day of your trip to collect a physical ticket; digital passes cannot be scanned at the gangway and do not support online reservations. At the Royal Palace and Drottningholm, you must visit the ticket office to exchange your digital scan for a paper entry slip before joining the entrance line. For the Vasa Museum, look for the 'Pre-paid/Pass' lane to bypass the main ticket-purchase queue. Note that no pass bypasses mandatory security screenings, which are strictly enforced at all royal sites and major museums during the June peak.
Price: Official pricing for the Stockholm All-Inclusive Pass in June 2026 starts at approximately 949 SEK for a 1-day adult card, though prices on platforms like GetYourGuide may reach 1,005 SEK depending on the specific bundle or booking terms. Child rates (6–15) are significantly reduced, while children under 6 usually enter free with an adult. To ensure value, compare the pass cost against individual entry fees, which typically range from 190 SEK to 280 SEK for major attractions like the Vasa Museum or the Royal Palace. Always verify the final checkout total and inclusions before paying.
Discounts: For the Go City Stockholm Pass, 'Child' rates apply to ages 6–15, while those 16 and older require an 'Adult' pass. Stockholm is family-friendly: the Vasa Museum is free for all under 18, and Nationalmuseum is free for those under 20. However, Skansen only offers free entry for children aged 0–3; those 4–15 require a ticket. Consequently, a paid child pass is often only cost-effective if you plan on taking multiple expensive boat tours or visiting private attractions like the Paradox Museum. Children under 6 enter many sites for free, but check individual venue rules as some (like the Royal Palace) only offer free entry up to age 7. All Strömma boat tours require you to present your digital pass at a physical ticket kiosk on the day of your trip to secure a timed boarding pass.
Timing: Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to print my Stockholm City Pass or can I use my phone?

Most passes, including the Go City All-Inclusive option, are fully digital; you can display the QR code on your smartphone via the provider's app or a PDF at each attraction entrance.

Does the Stockholm Pass include public transport like the Metro or buses?

No, the current Go City Stockholm Pass does not include SL public transport; you must purchase a separate SL ticket or use a contactless payment card for the Metro, buses, and commuter trains.

Do I need to book time slots for museums like the Vasa Museum in advance?

While the pass grants entry, some high-demand attractions or specific boat tours may require you to book a time slot online or pick up a physical boarding pass at a Stromma kiosk on the day of your visit.

How is the validity of a multi-day pass calculated?

The pass is activated the moment you scan it at your first attraction and remains valid for consecutive calendar days (not 24-hour periods), so it is most cost-effective to start using it early in the morning.

Can I get a refund if I don't end up using my city card?

Sellers like Tiqets and GetYourGuide typically offer a 24-hour cancellation window before your selected date, while unactivated Go City passes generally have a 90-day refund policy from the purchase date.

Are there reduced rates for children or seniors on Stockholm passes?

Discounted 'Child' passes are available for ages 6–15, while children under 6 often enter most Stockholm attractions for free and may not require their own pass.

Does the pass allow me to skip the security lines at major attractions?

No, while the pass may allow you to skip the ticket-purchase queue, all visitors must still pass through mandatory security checks at venues like the Royal Palace or the Vasa Museum.
