Djurgården

Djurgården, officially Kungliga Djurgården (Royal Djurgården), is an island in central Stockholm and a green oasis for the city. It's a favorite recreation area and tourist destination, attracting over ten million visitors annually. Around five million of those visitors come for the museums and Gröna Lund amusement park.

Djurgården is home to historical buildings and monuments, museums, galleries, Skansen open-air museum, the small residential area Djurgårdsstaden, yacht harbors, and extensive forests and meadows. The island is part of the National City Park, founded in 1995. Since the 15th century, the Swedish monarch has owned or held the right to manage Royal Djurgården. Today, the Royal Djurgården Administration, part of the Royal Court of Sweden, manages the area.
