Everything you need to know about Go City’s Stockholm passes

Planning a trip to Stockholm? Think island-hopping canals, grand palaces, world-class museums and more cinnamon buns than you can possibly eat (though it’s surely worth a try at least). The city makes it incredibly easy to explore—and even easier with Go City Stockholm. With two flexible pass types and access to a stacked lineup of attractions, tours and experiences, you can tailor your plans to match your travel style. Families, first-timers, culture lovers and boat enthusiasts all get great value here.

The basics: what is the Go City Stockholm pass?

It’s a sightseeing pass that unlocks entry to many of the city’s best attractions for one upfront price. You choose between two products — the All-Inclusive Pass and the Essentials Pass — then plan your days around what you want to see.

All-Inclusive Pass

• Choose a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5-day pass.
• Best for big days out and first-time visits when you want to pack in palaces, museums and boat tours galore.
• Visit as many included attractions as you like each day your pass is active.
• Ideal if you love saying “let’s just pop in” whenever you pass another must-see.

Essentials Pass

• Pick three attractions: one from Stockholm’s bucket-listers and two more from a specially selected Go City top 10.
• Choose one big-ticket attraction from Skansen, the Vasa Museum and the Royal Palace, then bolt on two smaller attractions like Fotografiska and a boat tour.
• Ideal when you’re short on time and know precisely what you’d like to see.
• You’ll have 30 days to visit your three picks after your first scan.

Both options are fully digital in the Go City app and typically deliver solid savings compared with buying individual tickets.

Buying and activating your pass

1. Buy online: Purchase from the official Go City website or in the Go City app for best prices and the latest attraction lineup.
2. Download the Go City app: Your pass, attraction details, opening times, maps and booking links all live right here in the app. Sign in and your pass appears instantly.
3. Activate when you’re ready: Head to your first attraction and have your pass scanned. All-Inclusive starts its consecutive days from that moment; Essentials starts its 30-day window to visit all three attractions.

Using your pass

Royal residences and history

Step into the Royal Palace to wander its lavish Apartments, the Treasury’s crown jewels and the Museum of Antiquities. Time your visit for the changing of the guard outside for a spot of ceremony with your sightseeing. Make it a full royal day by heading out to Drottningholm Palace, the royal family’s island residence and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The gardens are gorgeous for a stroll, and in warmer months you can cruise there by boat for added charm.

Museums and stories

Skansen, the world’s oldest open-air museum, hands you centuries of Swedish life in one leafy loop — historic farmsteads, costumed craftspeople and Nordic animals included. At the Nobel Prize Museum in Gamla Stan, learn how prize-winning ideas changed the world and browse quirky artifacts from laureates. The Viking Museum brings the era to life with fascinating exhibits and an immersive ride that’s surprisingly gripping even if you think you know your longships. Round things off at the Nordic Museum to dive into Swedish traditions, fashion and design across the ages.

On the water

Stockholm shines from the water, and boat tours make it effortless. Glide around Djurgården on the Royal Canal Tour for postcard views of parks, museums and elegant villas. See the city’s bridges and locks on the classic bridges route, a scenic loop that connects the Baltic Sea and Lake Mälaren. Fancy a longer escape? An archipelago cruise takes you past rocky islets, red cottages and pine forests — a brilliant reset between city sights.

Plan ahead

A little prep pays off in Stockholm. Start by listing out your must-sees — maybe the Royal Palace, Skansen and a boat tour — then check their opening hours in the app. Stockholm’s attractions often run seasonal schedules, especially boats and island trips, so lock those in first. If you’re using an All-Inclusive Pass, front-load your big hitters on days when you can start early. Many museums open mid-morning; boats often have the most frequent departures late morning through mid-afternoon. With an Essentials Pass, spread your choices across your stay and slot them around weather and energy levels.

Group sights by area to save time. For example, pair the Royal Palace and the Nobel Prize Museum with a Gamla Stan walk, then hop over to Djurgården for Skansen and a canal cruise. Keep an eye on travel time; Stockholm’s ferries, trams and metro are smooth, but zigzagging across islands adds up. Aim for two to four booked activities per day, then keep a couple of flex options in your back pocket for sunny windows or unexpected free hours. And always scan the app on the day — live updates, temporary changes and reservation notes appear there first.
