Stockholm Pass and Other Discounts

This post provides details about each of the tourist passes available in Stockholm and how these services can save you a lot of money.

We include information about prices, how to use the pass, and more.

 

OVERVIEW

There are currently two different tourist passes available in Stockholm, and they each provide discounts on a variety of popular attractions and activities in the city.

This overview provides an explanation of how these services work, how much you can expect to save, and the best way to use them to save money.

Each pass includes admission to dozens of different activities for a specific amount of time (1, 2, 3, 5 or 7 days).

The way it works is that you’ll pay one flat price for the service and every attraction included will be covered by the pass.

Depending on how you use a tourist pass, you can save up to 50% off general admission prices. In order to get the most out of it, you’ll have to use it as much as possible while it’s valid.

Although there are some pretty expensive activities included with these services, it is important to note that you’ll need to use this pass for at least 3-4 attractions in order to start saving money.

What this means is that these tourist passes are best for people who plan on seeing and doing a lot of different things during their visit to Stockholm.

These passes typically include at least one bus tour, one boat tour, famous landmarks, and several interesting museums.

Each service is available either as a physical pass or a mobile pass, which means you can actually just download their app onto your mobile phone and use it as your pass to get into each attraction included.

All-inclusive passes must be used on consecutive days after they have been validated.

Conversion Rate

If you’re traveling to Stockholm from a foreign country, you may not be familiar with the form of currency used in this city – the Swedish Krona.

While conversion rates can fluctuate quite a bit, this guide should be a useful way to figure out how much everything costs.

One SEK (Swedish Krona) is equal to the following values in other popular currencies:

  • USD: 0.10
  • GBP: 0.08
  • Euro: 0.09
  • Yuan: 0.75
  • Yen: 11.00
  • CAD: 0.14

STOCKHOLM iVENTURE CARD

As with their competitors, this company also offers an all-inclusive pass which provides access to dozens of attractions for a set amount of time.

The main difference between these two services is that iVenture is currently offering one additional pass option with 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 day passes.

 

 

Unlike the Stockholm Pass, this card will only be valid for 6 months after purchase, so you’ll have less time to decide when to start using it.

The Stockholm iVenture Card does not include the option to add a travel card, but you can get one separately if you want.

It’s also important to note that this pass does not include as many activities. With only 21 to choose from, it may be more difficult to get value out of this service.

Here are some of the more popular tours and attractions included with the Stockholm iVenture Card:

Attractions Included

  • Bergrummet Toys & Comics Museum | SEK 140
  • Hop-on-Hop-off Bus Tour | SEK 330
  • Hop-on-Hop-off Boat Tour | SEK 230
  • Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde | SEK 150
  • Haga Ocean/Butterfly House | SEK 175
  • The Viking Museum | SEK 159
  • Museum of Spirits | SEK 130
  • Royal Canal Tour | SEK 220

  • Tekniska Museet | SEK 160
  • Vasa Museum | SEK 150

  • And more!

  • 2-Day Pass: SEK 900/Adults | SEK 438/Children
    • Cost Per Day: SEK 450/Adults | SEK 219/Children

    • Cost Per Day: SEK 288.57/Adults | SEK 131.43/Children

Purchase this tourist pass or learn more.

The first major thing to note here is that the Stockholm iVenture Card definitely doesn’t have as many high-value attractions as their competitors.

That said, prices for this pass are a bit less expensive, so it might be a good alternative if you can manage to get a lot of use out of the service.

Although there aren’t as many activities included, the iVenture Card does have a few attractions that aren’t on the Stockholm Pass such as the Cosmonova and Tekniska Museet.

As with their competition, you’ll spend less per day by getting a multi-day pass rather than just a one day pass.

 

iVenture Card Stockholm

 

However, with fewer activities to enjoy, you may find that you run out of things to do before your pass ends.

Even though it’s nice that they offer the option for a 7-day pass, the reality is that you could probably do almost everything in 5 days if you pushed your plans to the limit.

Sample Itinerary

Despite these issues, this example itinerary (3-Day Pass) will provide a look at how you can use the Stockholm iVenture Card to save money:

Day 1

  • Royal Canal Tour | SEK 220
  • Hop-on-Hop-off Bus Tour | SEK 330
  • Haga Ocean/Butterfly House | SEK 175
  • Skyview | SEK 160

Day 2

  • Hop-on-Hop-off Boat Tour | SEK 230
  • Bergrummet Toys & Comics Museum | SEK 140
  • Tekniska Museet | SEK 160
  • Cosmonova | SEK 135

Day 3

  • The Viking Museum | SEK 159
  • Prince Eugen’s Waldemarsudde | SEK 150
  • Museum of Spirits | SEK 130
  • The Thiel Gallery | SEK 130

Total Value: SEK 2119

Total Price: SEK 1045

Total Savings: SEK 1074 (about 51% off)

As you can see, it’s still possible to save quite a bit of money with this tourist pass. The only thing to keep in mind is that you’ll save the most by enjoying as many activities as possible in a short amount of time.

Despite the fact that the Stockholm iVenture Card is available as a 7-day pass, we recommend using either the 3-day or 5-day pass instead, as there aren’t enough attractions included to warrant getting the longer option.

With access to locations such as the Tekniska Museet, Cosmonova and Bergrummet Toys & Comics museum, this pass could be a great option for families.

STOCKHOLM TRAVEL CARD

The service is available for 1, 3, or 7 days at a time. Here are the prices for each option:

Things to Consider

Anyone planning to be in Stockholm for a week or more should keep in mind that the 3 & 7-day travel cards are an excellent way to save some money on public transportation prices.

If you’re not interested in taking a cruise and you just want an easy way to get across the water, the ferries included on this travel card could be a great alternative to the hop-on-hop-off boat tours in Stockholm.

With so many different forms of public transport in the city, this is a great way to get around that won’t cost much at all.

Travel cards can be purchased with the Stockholm Pass, but there is no additional discount when you buy them that way – it’s just easier to buy both of them together than separately!
