Hiking

Skansen is the world's first open-air museum, founded in 1891. Here you can stroll through five centuries of Swedish history, from north to south, with a real sense of the past all around in the historical buildings and dwellings, peopled by characters in period dress.

Hiking

When the summer weather is nice, Stockholmers flock to the Skansen open-air museum. You can spend a whole day on Skansen without ever getting bored.
The open-air museum goes back to Dr. Artur Hazelius (1833 – 1901) back. He wanted to present Swedish cultural history in a new way. This is how the world's first open-air museum, the Skansen Open-Air Museum, came into being in 1881.
