The Stockholm Pass in one minute
The Stockholm Pass sold today is the Go City Stockholm All-Inclusive Pass. It gets you into 65+ attractions for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days in a row: the Vasa Museum, the Royal Palace, Skansen, the Viking Museum, Fotografiska, Drottningholm Palace, the Strömma boat tours and both hop-on hop-off bus companies. On Headout it costs €84 for one day and €150 for three days.
It pays off if you visit three or more paid sights a day, and it costs you money if you visit one or two. Public transport is not included, and neither is ABBA The Museum. Children aged 6 to 15 have their own, cheaper pass, but many top museums are free for children anyway, so check before you buy one.
We are an independent guide, not Go City or Strömma. We link to Headout, which may pay us a commission. That does not change the price you pay or the numbers below.
Stockholm Pass prices 2026
All five durations include the same attractions. Only the number of days changes, and the price per day drops the longer the pass runs. On Headout, checked in October 2026, an adult pass costs €84 for one day, €119 for two, €150 for three, €172 for four and €177 for five days. Children aged 6 to 15 pay €26 to €71. The price table lists every duration with its price per day.
The 5-day pass costs only a few euros more than the 4-day pass, so if you are unsure between the two, take five. And the jump from one to two days is small compared with the cost of a second day of tickets.
Headout sells the same Go City product and lets you cancel for free until your chosen date, with the option to book now and pay later. The pass stays valid for a year from purchase until you activate it.
What is included
Go City lists 68 attractions for Stockholm. Most visitors only care about a dozen of them. These are the ones that carry the most value, with the regular adult gate price in summer:
- Vasa Museum on Djurgården, the 17th-century warship that sank on its maiden voyage: €21.
- Royal Palace in Gamla Stan, with the Royal Apartments, the Treasury and the Tre Kronor Museum: €21.
- Skansen, the open-air museum with old buildings and Nordic animals: up to €21.
- Under the Bridges of Stockholm, Strömma's 2-hour 15-minute boat tour: €34.
- Royal Canal Tour, a 1-hour boat trip around Djurgården: €25.
- Hop-on hop-off buses, both the green Strömma and the red City Sightseeing buses: €32 for 24 hours.
- Viking Museum, Vrak Museum of Wrecks, Nordic Museum and Spritmuseum, all on Djurgården.
- Nobel Prize Museum and Stockholm Cathedral (Storkyrkan) in Gamla Stan.
- Fotografiska on Södermalm and Nationalmuseum on Blasieholmen.
- Drottningholm Palace plus the return boat from the city centre, and SkyView, the gondola on the outside of the Avicii Arena.
Further down the list are smaller museums, archipelago boats to Vaxholm and Fjäderholmarna, day trips to Gripsholm and Skokloster castles, mini golf, a fika and a murder-mystery walk. Gröna Lund is on the list too, but only for entry from April to September; the rides cost extra. Several boat tours only run from spring to autumn, and a winter boat tour replaces them from December.
What is not included
Plan for these before you buy, because they are where most disappointed reviews come from:
- ABBA The Museum. Not on the pass. Adult tickets cost €24 to €31 depending on the date, the museum is cashless and works with time slots. Book it separately on Headout, where it comes as a combo with the hop-on hop-off bus.
- Public transport. The pass does not cover SL buses, metro, trams or the Djurgården ferry. A 72-hour SL travelcard costs SEK 360 (about €32). Our Stockholm Card page explains the travel cards.
- The Arlanda Express from the airport (SEK 340 (about €30) one way for an adult) and the airport coaches.
- Stockholm City Hall. Only the City Hall canal boat tour is on the pass, not the guided tour of the building (€13). The City Hall tower is closed for renovation from early 2027 to the end of 2028.
- Moderna Museet, the Avicii Experience and Junibacken.
Go City also sets a purse value on each pass: a maximum total of gate prices you can use. For the 1-day pass it is €235, for three days €517. Normal sightseeing never gets near it, but it rules out squeezing ten attractions into one day.
Is the Stockholm Pass worth it?
It depends on one number: how many paid sights you visit per day. Here are three realistic plans, priced at summer gate prices.
One day in Gamla Stan: not worth it
Royal Palace, Nobel Prize Museum, Stockholm Cathedral and the Under the Bridges boat tour add up to €80. The 1-day pass costs €84, so single tickets win by €4. Add the Royal Armoury next to the palace and the tickets reach €96: now the pass saves €12. On a single day the margin is thin, and a slow lunch decides it.
Two days, Gamla Stan and Djurgården: worth it
Day one as above, day two on Djurgården with the Vasa Museum, Skansen, the Viking Museum and the Royal Canal Tour (€89). Together the tickets cost €169. The 2-day pass costs €119 and saves you €50. Most first-time visitors follow this plan.
Three days with Drottningholm: clearly worth it
Add a third day with the boat to Drottningholm Palace, the palace itself, Fotografiska and a day on the hop-on hop-off bus. Single tickets now total €264, against €150 for the 3-day pass: a saving of €114.
When single tickets are cheaper
- You want the Vasa Museum and the Royal Palace and little else. Those two cost €42 together, far less than any pass.
- Your trip is in winter, when the boat tours that carry much of the value do not run and museum hours are shorter.
- You travel with children. The Vasa Museum, Vrak, the Nobel Prize Museum and the Swedish History Museum are free up to 18, and Skansen up to 15. A child pass rarely earns its price on museums alone.
- You like long museum visits. Two hours in the Vasa Museum and three at Skansen leave little time for anything else.
The pass calculator above lets you tick your own plan and see the result for every duration.
All-Inclusive or Essentials Pass?
Go City sells a second, cheaper product: the Essentials Pass, from €57. It is not a day pass. You pick 3 attractions from a list of 15: one of the Vasa Museum, the Royal Palace or Skansen, plus two more such as Fotografiska, the Viking Museum or a Strömma boat tour. After the first scan you have 30 days to use the other two.
The Essentials Pass suits a slow trip with three big sights. The All-Inclusive Pass wins as soon as you add a fourth attraction or a boat tour. Headout does not sell the Essentials Pass, so we do not link to it. An older product, the Explorer Pass, is no longer sold in Stockholm, even if some websites still describe it.
How the pass works
- Book the duration on Headout. Your voucher and confirmation number arrive by email straight away.
- Load the pass in the Go City app with the confirmation number, or print it. Loading the pass does not start it.
- Scan at your first attraction. That starts day one. Each day is a calendar day and ends at midnight, and the days run in a row: a 3-day pass started on Tuesday ends on Thursday night.
- Visit each attraction once. A second visit to the same museum is not covered.
- For Strömma boat tours, go to a Strömma kiosk at Strömkajen or Nybrokajen on the day and swap the pass for a ticket. These tours cannot be reserved in advance with the pass, so arrive early in summer.
Some attractions ask for a reservation; the Go City app marks them. The hop-on hop-off buses only need a scan when you board. If you have not activated the pass, Go City refunds it within 90 days of purchase, and Headout's own free cancellation applies until your chosen date.
Start each pass day early. The Vasa Museum opens at 8:30 in summer and at 10:00 the rest of the year, and a pass activated at 3 pm still ends at midnight.
Stockholm Card or Stockholm Pass?
Many people search for the Stockholm Card. That was a different product: the city's own card from Visit Stockholm, which included public transport and was discontinued at the end of 2015. The Stockholm Pass was launched by Strömma in 2016 and has belonged to Go City since 2021. The Stockholm Card page explains the history, compares every city card and travel card on sale in 2026, and shows which one suits which kind of trip.
