Djurgårdslinjen, Heritage tram line in Stockholm, Sweden
Djurgårdslinjen is a heritage tram line running from Norrmalmstorg via Strandvägen to Skansen, with some trips continuing to Waldemarsudde. The heritage service, numbered 7N, uses vintage trams from the early 20th century to the late 1950s, mainly from Stockholm plus a few from Gothenburg and Oslo. It shares tracks with the modern Line 7 of Spårväg City.
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 heritage trams are run by volunteers of the Swedish Tramway Society through AB Stockholms Spårvägar, and the line's name comes from its destination, Djurgården. The cars come mainly from Stockholm, with a few from Gothenburg and the Oslo Tramway, built between the early 20th century and the late 1950s. A trailer called "Rolling Café" was once coupled on weekends, but it was withdrawn after the COVID-19 pandemic reduced carhouse space.
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.
