Djurgårdslinjen, Heritage tram line in Stockholm, Sweden
Djurgårdslinjen is a tram line in Stockholm that runs from Norrmalmstorg to the island of Djurgården on tracks that remain in active use. The line operates both heritage and modern trams, covering a route through central streets before reaching the island.
The line dates back to Stockholm's first tram network in the late 19th century and is one of the few routes from that period still running. The tracks were updated over the decades, but the general path between the city center and Djurgården has remained largely the same.
The line passes close to several museums on Djurgården, making it easy to move between them without walking long distances. Riding it, you can notice how the city gradually gives way to tree-lined paths and open green spaces on the island.
The line is part of Stockholm's public transport network, so a standard travel card covers the fare and allows transfers to buses and the metro. Historic trams run more often on weekends and holidays, which is a good time to plan a visit.
Some of the historic cars running on this route were originally built for other Stockholm lines and only later transferred here. They were restored by volunteers rather than by a professional depot, which makes their condition all the more notable.
