Stockholm with children

Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, is a safe destination, suitable for families with children.

Get In

If you come for a day trip with one of Baltic cruising ferries with Junibacken as a key destination, planning the day is essential as it’s quite hard to pack something else into the few hours you have left.

Get around

Public transport

Buses give free rides to a stroller with a child, and one accompanying adult.

Children younger than 7 ride public transport for free, but must be accompanied by a adult with a good ticket. On weekends from Friday noon, six children younger than 12 years old, ride for free with one accompanying adult.
