Skogskyrkogården

We made our way by suburban train and spent an hour or so wandering this UNESCO Heritage cemetery. It’s very extensive with woodlands & a chapel which is beautiful. It’s a peaceful place.

My visit to this cemetery took place in February 2022. My main reason for coming here was to pay respects to Greta Garbo. I had some idea of how big this place was, but upon my arrival, I was amazed amd astounded at how vast this cemetery really was. It is a sprawling oasis of calm and tranquility. It takes about 40 minutes from central Stockholm by train, but I could have sworn it seemed even less than that. From the station you must walk to the cemetery entrance, which is located to the east of the train platform (you can't miss the sign and wall). I spent most of my morning here just keeping the dead company and getting lost in my daydreams and music. It being winter, it wasn't crowded at all and I got to enjoy my surroundings to the fullest. There is some unique architecture to admire in the grounds. The entire area was well maintained although you must be careful walking along some of the paths in winter as some areas were icy. Exercise caution and watch your step. I enjoyed my visit and would love to return again one day. Tread lightly where the dead rest and remember you are on sacred ground.

Beautifully landscaped cemetery, with ample opportunity to wander around and marvel at the mix of architecture. They have produced an audio guide that is very useful, plus there’s a visitor centre, although this wasn’t open when I visited. Plenty of information boards are available at the main entrance gate too. Would highly recommend on your visit to Stockholm. Very close to the T-bana too.

Absolutely stunning walk through this UNESCO world heritage site. Couldn’t recommend it more! Each building was so beautiful and unique.

The largest cemetery Ive ever visited - need at least 2 hours. Also saw for the first time squirrel ate an entire pinecone in one sec! So cute to see the ground was covered with already-eaten pincecones... Toilet can be tricky to find as the ground is too colossal

A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE... outskirts of city ...Beautiful spacious fully green with lots of pine trees etc , good roads... Ample free parking space present...

I love this place .we always celebrate my dead grandmas! May em rest in peace 🪦. 🙌 I hope u will like it ! Cozy forest and little small paths ! I love it ! It’s so peaceful and the birds chippers! In the winter the trees stand like crazy beautiful! In the night there’s fog on the grass ! ( sometimes not always)

Beautiful graveyard, for us that are used to catholic style more flashy graveyards this is really discrete and serene. You can see that it was built to complement the nature rather than change it.
