Visiting Skogskyrkogården

You are very welcome to visit Skogskyrkogården all year round. The cemetery is open every day of the year and can be entered all hours. In the summer, the Visitors Center is open daily from June until August, and Sundays in May and September.

The chapels and their interiors can be viewed with an authorised Skogskyrkogården guide – book via Stockholm City Museum.

Over 2,000 funerals are held in the five chapels of Skogskyrkogården every year. So please bear in mind and respect the fact that Skogskyrkogården is a place where many come to say their final farewells, to remember lost loved ones or to tend graves. During a guided tour, the group is able to view the unique chapel interiors without any risk of meeting or disturbing any mourners. Read more about visiting us.

Free guide tour with the Stockholm Card

The public guided tour on Sundays at 10.30am is free for Stockholm Card holders. It is also possible to purchase the card at the Visitors Center at Skogskyrkogården.
